Bill Maher called Tucker Carlson 'a little dangerous' for spreading extreme views to maintain his audience, attributing it to a strategy of chasing clicks and attention.
- During a Two Drinks With sit-down, Maher said he recently issued a blunt takedown of Tucker Carlson, asking, `Are some personalities dare their audience to find someone more out there?'
- Maher said he likely hasn't seen Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, in person since Politically Incorrect, around 20 years ago, and noted Carlson launched Tucker Carlson Network in 2023.
- Maher described Tucker Carlson's statements as `obviously says crazy things` and called him `a little dangerous` due to his following, warning some commentators `dare their audience` to be more extreme.
