From last night's Tucker:

CARLSON: This was my 20th--literally, I think it was my 20th Oscar night in a row where I didn't watch any of it.

Oh, and more people watched the Oscars on Sunday than watch Tucker in a year.

I appreciated that thought as a nicely done snarky comment.

Especially apt for a year when the numbers were way down for the Oscar broadcast...
