On February 2, 2005, MSNBC announced that they had signed Carlson to develop and host a primetime (9pm EST originally, now 11pm) MSNBC show, as a replacement for Deborah Norville. The Situation with Tucker Carlson premiered on June 13, 2005, with one of Carlson's first guests being Al Sharpton. The format of the show is very similar to the ESPN sports show, Pardon the Interruption, where issues are debated for specific amounts of time.
