The Daily Show: Tucker Carlson's Face Coach

[Rhiannon12866]

Some people think Tucker was born with a face that looks like an inbred boat shoe, but there's actually a lot of hard work behind it. Meet Gavin Bancroft (Michael Kosta), Tucker Carlson's face coach.

1. I think Al

has seemed more comfortable each night. Unfortunately he only has one more night.

And what was with the trumpster calling Michelle Obama Michael, I mean I know that's a thing but does she not have mirrors in her house?

2. IIRC he has substitute before, but not for a whole week

And I agree, but maybe it was initially sticking him with Lindsey Graham? That would certainly leave me shell shocked... even if they are "friends."

And I posted both his monologue and his guest (Heather McGhee) much earlier since the videos were available early, but I figure that you'll be watching the show. I used to post The Daily Show regularly, but since Trevor left, it's been hit or miss. The other host that I really liked was Wanda Sykes, along with Al, she was the funniest, no big surprise.

3. I watched some of the clips

that you posted with Wanda Sykes. She was very good but I always like her.

5. If you ever run across it - I know it's online somewhere - I recommend "Alpha House"

Which is a series (before TFG) about 4 Republican senators who share a house in D.C. It's a comedy and Wanda Sykes is in it, as is Amy Sedaris, and John Goodman is one of the senators. One of the senators' chief of staff is a gay woman so Rachel Maddow makes an appearance. It was pretty funny, especially since it took place long before the TFG-inspired RW nonsense that we're dealing with now. BTW, apparently there some frat movie by the same name, ran across it when I looked it up - it's not that one.

4. I don't think it's original

But I always say he looks like a particularly stupid Great Dane who can't figure out where the ball you fake-threw went.

6. Hello Mr. Face Coach

Upon interviewing someone(anyone), his(Tuckems) lips are moving, as sound is pulsating from his mouth; however, when he stops speaking to allow for a response by a guest, his(Tuckems) face 'falls-to-blank', as if his facial muscles are completely drained of energy whereupon they totally relax and form that full-tilt 'deer-in-the-headlights' appearance.

Am I alone in seeing this...OR, have others noticed this strangeness as well (?).

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Well, from what we know about him now (he "hates" TFG), no wonder his facial expressions are strange

For most of us, our facial expressions reflect how we're feeling and reacting - mad, sad, glad or scared - but with Tucker, he doesn't have that option - no wonder he needs a "face coach." So, it's like you said, he's trained himself to have no expression at all.

8. His Face Displays 'No Expression At All' - So Precisely Stated :: Thank You (n/t)

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Which I find incredibly creepy. Would you trust a face like that??

[Ahna KneeMoose]

10. It Would Be Like Expecting A (Human) Response From A Concrete Block

No, I would not be able to ever trust a face like that.
And you are correct, his 'resting' face is 'Incredibly Creepy', indeed.

11. I still say he looks constipated most of the time

I was disappointed the face coach didn't mention this.

12. Hilarious!

Tucker has made a fortune by mastering the art of looking stupid.

[grantcart]

13. Yeah. He started making real money when he traded his bow tie coach for the face coach.

14. This was one of the best yet.

I really did LOL.

My son once told me that one of his classmates had "a stupid face." I could not grasp what he meant. Tucker is the very definition of "a stupid face."

[Rhiannon12866]

15. LOL! And now we know why he looks as he does - he was coached to exhibit that "stupid face..."
