Could Fox ever hire Milo?

He's gay.

He's outrageous.

He has a history of writing some pretty inflammatory stuff.

There's the potential that any one of those things could keep him from being hired. Or maybe not...

But I know that young conservatives/libertarians (whatever you want to call that demo) would tune in.

If they gave him a show his ratings would be through the roof.

They fired Crowder and McGinnis for being too over the top. I seriously doubt they hire Milo.

As a contributor maybe.

Not as a permanent fixture. He's too inflammatory.

Some of their old viewing base would clutch their Bibles pretty tight but I imagine it would be ok in the long run.

Very true but I feel like these are different times with Trump at the helm.

I don't necessarily think they could give him his own show right off the bat, but maybe hire him as a regular pundit. Or give him segments on certain shows that could pull the young demos.

I also think he knows how to behave. I've seen him dial down the gay to almost zero, and come across as a level-headed (albeit right/far-right) intellectual.

Looking at Tucker's ratings, I have to believe there's an audience for Milo.

ETA: I like him but I'm not a huge fan of the guy. I still think he could draw an audience.

No, but it would be absolutely glorious if he got his own talk show on HBO!

HBO would never go for it. It would be awesome though. He'd wreck John Oliver's punk arse so bad.

No. He comes from Breitbart which the left/media have branded as an alt-right extremist outlet linked to white nationalism. It would be a PR nightmare for any network that gave him a full time platform. Facts don't matter to the left, only outrage.

Milo is a Sacha Baron Cohen character.

Milo would be a terrible hire because once he goes off the reservation for his shock value it would be a mess.

Milo will piss a lot of his new fans off I think in his new book. To me he is an equal opportunity offender.

I'd love it, but no way corporate sponsors get on board. He'd have weekly, hysterical boycotts.

How bout a podcast?

Milo is Rush Limbaugh on ESPN

The fake outrage over something will kill profits

No. Too many Evangelicals, who hate the gays, watch Fox News. A flamboyant gay man can't do well there.
