'Tucker Carlson Tonight' Loses Another Advertiser As Bowflex Backs Out

Fitness training equipment brand Bowflex will no longer advertise on the Fox News primetime show Tucker Carlson Tonight, a spokesperson for parent company Nautilus told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday.

"We can confirm that Nautilus, Inc., parent company for Bowflex, has pulled its ads from the Tucker Carlson Tonight show," the company said. "We buy media broadly across many news networks, and do not target ads based on specific programs or hosts. However, we have requested that Fox News remove our ads from airing in conjunction with Tucker Carlson Tonight in the future. Aside from our decision to remove our ads from his show, we have no other association or affiliation with Mr. Carlson."

Carlson's show is facing an advertiser backlash after he said last Thursday night that immigration makes the United States "dirtier."

Also on Monday, a spokesperson for SmileDirectClub, which, like Bowflex, advertised on Carlson's Thursday and Friday night shows, is taking steps to prevent advertising on his show — among other "political opinion" shows — in the future.
