Lawrence Jones is a good dude, I like him, but Fox have put him in a no win situation. His first show last night in Tucker Carlson’s old time slot bombed, badly. The few who did watch him say he interviewed loser Asa Hutchinson of all people. Yea, that will really draw ratings. But not many people did watch, and that’s the problem for the Faux prime time lineup. For Lawrence Jones’ first show, on a Monday which is typically the highest rated day of the week, he only got 1.5 million viewers, an absolutely pathetic showing from a time slot that with both Tucker Carlson and Bill O’Reilly routinely draw over 3+ million on a night, especially on Monday.

As you can see, the stupid Fox decision is also still harming Hannity and Ingraham. Both shows routinely got between 2-2.5 million viewers on any given night. Now, they are no where touching 2 million viewers.
