In a move straight out of a political thriller, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has reportedly purchased a home right next door to his former colleague Dana Perino — and while the quiet real estate deal raised some eyebrows, it’s what’s in the basement that’s sparking wild speculation.
According to multiple sources familiar with the property, Carlson had the home’s basement renovated under heavy secrecy shortly after closing the sale. Contractors were reportedly asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, and neighbors say late-night deliveries of “equipment” and “vintage furniture” were seen over several weekends.
So what exactly is down there?
Rumors range from a fully soundproof podcast studio to a Cold War-style bunker — even a private media screening room rumored to host unreleased footage and confidential interviews.
“Whatever he’s doing, it’s not your average man-cave,” one neighbor said. “It’s Tucker. Nothing he does is ever normal.”
As for Dana Perino? She’s keeping quiet — for now. But insiders say she’s “not surprised” by the move and even joked that “at least the new neighbor won’t be boring.”
Social media, of course, has erupted with theories, memes, and even #TuckersBasement trending on X.
