It's Quibi. You invented Quibi.
Even if you're a Tucker Carlson fan, why would you watch his show on Twitter?

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson plans to launch a new show on Twitter, the pundit announced on Tuesday.

Carlson gave no further details on his new project, including length, subject matter or frequency.
“Starting soon. we’ll be doing a new version of the show that we’ve been doing for the last 6 1/2 years to Twitter,” Carlson said. “We’ll bring you some other things, too, which we’ll tell you about. But for now, we’re just grateful to be here.”
