“They didn’t want us here. Now we’re prime time.” – Candace Owens, beaming on live air

📺 American television shakes: An unprecedented handshake in modern media history

In a move that shocked both the media and the audience , Candace Owens – a conservative commentator known for her anti-“woke” ideology – officially launched a new television project with Tucker Carlson , and most notably: right on national television ABC – a network that is considered a “stronghold” of the progressives.

Program name?

“America After Dark” – A late-night show billed as “apolitical… if you’re a progressive!”

🌙 “America After Dark” – Not Your Ordinary Late Night Talk Show

Unlike shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live! or The Late Show with Stephen Colbert , “America After Dark” doesn’t shy away from politics — it dives right into it.

Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson – two conservative icons once ostracized from the mainstream – now sit in the middle of an ABC studio , saying things that were once considered “unbroadcastable”:

Criticizing LGBTQ+ Extremism in Education

Questions about Biden’s border policy

Mocking “woke brands” like Disney, Target

Exposing “the media manipulating people with emotions instead of facts”

🎤 Candace made a strong statement in the first episode: “This is real America, not Hollywood!”

Appearing in a simple white dress, with sharp eyes and a confident smile, Candace Owens opened the first episode with a shocking declaration:

“We are not here to please. We are here to open the eyes of America.”

Shortly after, Tucker Carlson – who was fired from Fox News – added:

“They call us extremists. But who is trying to turn 6-year-olds into sex symbols? Who is punishing the truth?”

💣 Instant reaction: The internet exploded – conservatives celebrated, progressives were “shocked”

🎉 Conservatives cheer :

“ABC finally has a show worth watching!”

“Candace and Tucker are the golden couple of new media!”

“A painful blow for Hollywood to wake up!”

😡 The progressive faction is angry :

“Why did ABC put two enemies of progress on the air?”

“This is the legitimization of conspiracy theories.”

“We lost an important trench.”

🔎 What does ABC say? “We are redefining late-night television”

ABC’s chief content officer, Rebecca Hill , said at a press conference:

“We believe in true diversity – including dissenting voices. Television cannot be a one-sided echo chamber.”

According to ABC, the show will air at 11:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays , twice a week, filmed in New York , and plans are in place to invite Elon Musk , Ben Shapiro , Joe Rogan , and Jordan Peterson as guests in the coming weeks.

📈 Beat Jimmy Fallon on first night of broadcast

According to Nielsen data:

“America After Dark” hits 3.2 million views in first episode

Surpassed The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (2.5 million)

Especially attracts male audience aged 25-44 , who used to be far away from mainstream television.

🎯 A culture war on television?

“America After Dark” is not just a show , but a direct attack on the left-leaning media structure that has dominated late-night shows for two decades.

While Colbert, Kimmel, and Meyers have been criticized for “copy-pasting the DNC ,” Candace and Tucker have opted for a cold, fierce, uncompromising style — and it’s keeping audiences awake .

🔥 Conclusion: A new era for American television?

Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson – once considered “fringe” – are now the center of prime time .
ABC – once considered a “woke” bastion – is now becoming the arena for a real culture war .
