When Live TV Dreams Are Made of Snoozes

During a memorable appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Tucker Carlson found himself in dreamland, quite literally. He had a quick nap during an ad break, but the line between break time and airtime blurred as the cameras rolled back to live, capturing Tucker still in slumber.

Co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earnhardt, perhaps out of respect for his rigorous schedule or simply for a moment of levity, chose not to wake him immediately. Known for being one of the hardest-working personalities on Fox, Tucker juggles his nightly show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” with numerous other media projects and endeavors, making his on-air nap a relatable if not an endearing sight.
