While Tucker Carlson has gotten many offers since his departure from Fox News, he received one from entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David that could be hard to walk away from.
During “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Bet-David of Valuetainment Media announced a $100 million deal plus equity stake in the company, a board seat, position as president of Valuetainment, and his own podcast and any other shows, documentaries, or movies on issues he cares about.

“Tucker! This is a good offer,” Kelly said.
“We know the world needs to hear that voice..."
