TUCKER CARLSON’S BLISTERING VIDEO LIGHTS UP X
Tucker Carlson, former Fox News star turned independent commentator, ignited controversy on September 18, 2025, with a fiery live broadcast on X. In it, he unleashed one of his harshest attacks yet on Jimmy Kimmel, branding the late-night host a “Hollywood hypocrite” and a “Disney puppet.”
The clip, posted late Wednesday night, has already been viewed over 5 million times — and counting.
“HOLLYWOOD HYPOCRITE” — TUCKER TAKES AIM
Carlson wasted no time going for the jugular. “Kimmel thinks he’s a moralist, but he’s really just a Hollywood hypocrite,” he said, his tone dripping with disdain.
He accused Kimmel of “fueling political division” with his controversial comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. “He’s smearing millions of MAGA supporters just to chase views,” Carlson claimed.
KIMMEL IN THE CROSSHAIRS
Kimmel, whose show Jimmy Kimmel Live! was suspended indefinitely by ABC earlier this week, had stirred outrage by suggesting conservatives were exploiting Kirk’s death for political gain.
Carlson framed the suspension as proof that Kimmel was both reckless and protected. “He’s a Disney puppet, shielded by corporate power, but still given a megaphone to mock half the country,” he argued.
MILLIONS WATCH, MILLIONS REACT
The live stream was clipped and shared across X within minutes. By Thursday morning, it had become one of Carlson’s most viral videos of 2025.
Supporters flooded the comments, praising him for “saying what others won’t.” One viral post read: “Tucker just dismantled Kimmel in 60 seconds. Hollywood doesn’t know what’s coming.”
CRITICS PUSH BACK HARD
But backlash was immediate. Progressive commentators accused Carlson of hijacking a tragedy for personal gain. “He turned Charlie Kirk’s death into a feud with Jimmy Kimmel,” one X user wrote. “It’s ghoulish.”
Others noted the irony of Carlson accusing Kimmel of division while launching a deeply personal attack.
MEDIA AND POLITICAL REACTIONS
Carlson’s remarks quickly drew commentary from across the spectrum:
Supportive voices: Conservative influencers amplified the video, with posts like “Tucker is the only one willing to tell the truth about Hollywood’s hypocrisy.”
Critical voices: Liberal media outlets described the rant as “performative outrage,” accusing Carlson of “inflaming tensions for clicks.”
Neutral analysts: Some media scholars noted the clip highlights how late-night comedy and political commentary are now locked in an endless feedback loop of provocation and counterattack.
THE BIGGER CONTEXT
Carlson’s attack comes in the middle of an escalating “late-night war.” Colbert defended Kimmel earlier this week in a monologue mocking Trump, while Hannity declared on Fox News that “Jimmy Kimmel is next.”
Carlson, now untethered from traditional cable news and operating freely on X, has leaned into raw, unfiltered messaging — which has only fueled his reach and controversies.
IS THIS HIS BOLDEST MOVE YET?
For supporters, the clip was classic Tucker: blunt, fearless, and unpolished. For critics, it was reckless grandstanding.
But regardless of interpretation, the numbers speak for themselves. Millions are watching, millions are sharing, and the feud between Tucker Carlson and Jimmy Kimmel is now center stage in America’s ongoing cultural battle.
CONCLUSION: A CLIP THAT WON’T GO AWAY
Was this Carlson’s boldest unfiltered moment yet — or a step too far? The answer may depend on where you stand politically.
But one thing is certain: Tucker Carlson’s “Hollywood hypocrite” rant has cemented itself as one of the most viral — and divisive — moments in the media storm swirling around Charlie Kirk’s death and late-night television’s uncertain future.
