Tucker Carlson Denies Involvement in Bizarre Russian TV Promo

Tucker Carlson has denied any involvement with a promotional video airing on Russian state news network, Russia 24, which features an edited montage of him repeatedly saying "Russia." The ad suggests that Carlson is moving to another level on the network, but he has called the promo "completely absurd" and claims to have never even heard of the channel. Representatives for Russia 24 refused to comment on whether they plan to rebroadcast Carlson's show. Despite his denial, Carlson's commentary on Fox News has made him popular among state-controlled media in Russia, and a YouTube channel has been publishing his shows in Russian for the past five years.
