At 8:01 p.m. on Wednesday, Tucker Carlson resumed his place in front of the camera for all the world to see—except it wasn’t on Fox News. Instead, the recently ousted television personality’s familiar mug was front and center on Twitter of all places, in what Seth Meyers described as “some sort of proof of life video… filmed from what I can only assume is a secret lair at the base of a volcano or a fake doctor’s office from a low-budget porno.”
On Thursday night, Meyers dissected every last word and detail of Tucker’s bizarre video manifesto, including the unnecessarily close-up angle and the wood-paneled everything.
“Why are you zooming in from your sauna? That place looks like the Unabomber’s hideout if he updated it and put it on Airbnb,” Meyers shared. “I also love the carefully planted details in the background like the globe. Ooooh, a globe on a shelf! It’s like we’re supposed to think to ourselves, ‘This motherfucker is worldly!’”
