Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson (born May 16, 1969 in San Francisco, California) is a conservative pundit who currently hosts Tucker on the cable news network MSNBC and is a contributor to two magazines, Esquire and the conservative Weekly Standard.

Carlson is perhaps best known as a former co-host for CNN's Crossfire, which has been off the air since 2005, where he represented the political right. Once known for his colorful bow ties (which he stopped wearing in 2006), Carlson is generally considered one of the most recognizable conservative personalities in American television. He also previously hosted PBS's Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered from 2004 to 2005.

No we will see how he does on the dance floor as he kicks up his heels on Dancing With The Stars.
