Actor Kevin Spacey sat down with Carlson and shared his two cents as he reprised his iconic role-playing the legendary character Frank Underwood in the hit Netflix show "House of Cards," which was nearly immediately recognizable due to the character's famous southern drawl.
In the interview, Spacey, who has been largely canceled due to past allegations of sexual assault claims, gave multiple references to iconic scenes from House of Cards which sparked buzz that Spacey might be returning to work. Spacey has since been cleared of previously levied sexual assault charges, and made references that could suggest he is hoping to make a comeback.
Before Spacey arrived on the frame, Carlson opened the interview and said: "2024 has not even begun yet, and it does seem like the presidential race is effectively frozen in place, if not over ... Is there anyone in this country with 350 million people who could jump in at this late date and re-scramble the calculus of electoral politics?"
"Well, that's really a decision for the people, Tucker," said Spacey. "It's not something that I really think about or want to do. But I've always believed that nothing should be off the table in life or in art. I think we can both agree that we need to get some adults back in the room. So if that means taking on the chief executive role, well that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for this great nation."
Spacey, or "Frank Underwood," mentions shoving a journalist in front of a train, which was one of the most famous scenes in House of Cards, as well as "doing a line of blow," drinking some whiskey, and hitting a reindeer with his car.
Carlson asked whether the character continues to enjoy Netflix despite being canceled and Spacey replied, "Probably as much as you watch Fox," which is in reference to Carlson parting ways with the network.
Spacey further asserts that "online trolls" are accountable for a greater number of deaths than firearms.
"Sounds like you're running," Carlson said to Spacey, floating the idea of an independent run.
"I think there's time. I've never been afraid to show up a little late for the dance," Spacey replied.
While interviewing Underwood, Carlson questioned Spacey whether "that means this is like an episode or is it real" after he explained that he is "back to work."
"Well, it's probably a little of both," Spacey said. "I mean, Tucker, what's true? What's false? What's life? What's art? What's real? What's performance? I love it when these things intersect because then it gets interesting." Spacey also revealed that the iconic knocking noise when a user opens up the Netflix app comes from his role-playing Frank Underwood.
"Do you think within Netflix and the leadership suites that your influence is still felt?" Carlson asked.
"Well, according to your research, my influence is felt every time every customer opens the app. I'd say that's pretty powerful," said Spacey.
Spacey has unofficially revived Underwood before. This is not the first time. He made oblique references to a potential return in a number of earlier videos that he published.
On his YouTube account, Spacey titled the seven-minute video he shot with Carlson, "Being Frank with Tucker".
