Tucker Carlson Book Jumps to Number One


Fox News host Tucker Carlson's book, "Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution," has vaulted to No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list, unseating Bob Woodward's "Fear: Trump in the White House" after four weeks in the top spot.

Woodward being toppled from the top spot is notable, as it was Barnes & Nobel's fastest-selling book in over three years. On its release day of Sept. 11, for example, it sold more than one copy per second.

Carlson took to Twitter to thank readers for the success of the book.



Carlson, a one-time CNN and MSNBC host, has been one of Fox's biggest successes in the post-Roger Ailes era.

Carlson consistently finishes in the top 3 from a ratings perspective in the cable news race along with Fox's Sean Hannity and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. In the third quarter of this year, Carlson averaged 2.78 million viewers.
