Great news! @TuckerCarlson will take over On the Record after the election as the new host. Congratulations to him. Terrific choice!

Carlson is currently a host on "Fox & Friends Weekend" and editor-in-chief of The Daily Caller, a conservative news website.

Hume had temporarily taken over as host of the program when Greta Van Susteren abruptly departed the network.
