I don’t believe Fox would give Gretchen the spot that Greta has had. Two totally different types of shows. Greta’s show is not one that Gretchen would be comfortable with. [/quote]

I'm the pp who speculated that they would.  I agree that it is totally different--but, if you followed the news and reports about Carlson, it is clear that she wanted to be in prime time.  There were notes that she wrote to Ailes requesting that she be on the debate team--if not as a questioner, as an analyst.

I don't know what happened between Carlson and Ailes--but I don't think a woman who has been given lots of opportunities is brave if she waits until she is fired to bring a lawsuit.  I don't think she was fired because of sexual issues, I think she was fired because her show was extremely sappy.  She has never gotten over being Miss America.  Just look at her website.

I still don’t think they will put Carlson on in prime time, nor will they have her do any debate/election coverage.  In fact, I don’t think they will bring her back at all.  While I am sure she is a very nice person, she just wasn’t that good.  Her interviews were frequently awkward and her questions were not at all probing.  Her transitions were weak.  Now, I could not do any better, but I am not in broadcasting.  
She would be best at having a daytime talk show of her own that doesn’t require much depth of discussion.  [/quote]
