The other big change is that the brown M&M has quote "transitioned from high stilettos to lower block heels." Also less sexy.

And today we're counting down our picks for the most provocative comments made by Fox News personalities.

He is going to set all of the wrongs of the past right.

Number 10: Laura Ingraham's comments on David Hogg.

In 2018, Laura Ingraham, host of The Ingraham Angle, found herself in hot water after a post on Twitter she made about Marjorie Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor David Hogg.

Ingraham suggests that the gun control activist was "wining" about being rejected by top universities.

In response, Hogg organized a boycott which involved more than 20 advertisers, forcing her to issue an apology within a day.

It turns out, it's not a good look when a cable news anchor on an influential network picks on a 17-year-old kid.

She's only apologizing after a third of her advertisers pulled out.

M&Ms, the candy company, has just announced that it's redesigning its cartoon characters to be more gender-inclusive.

An entire video can be made based on the controversial things this former Fox News host has said.

In January 2022, Carlson delivered a strange broadcast where he complained about how new changes from M&Ms resulted in the green candy in particular losing her sex appeal.

The green M&M, you will notice, is no longer wearing sexy boots.

The segment attracted ridicule on social media and inspired a Super Bowl commercial the following year where M&Ms poked fun at the controversy.

Carlson has made some outrageous comments in his defense of conservative values, but

his M&Ms comments came close to jumping the sharp.

And actually, if you look at him, the orange M&M does appear very anxious.

Maybe he doesn't like all the ugly new shoes he sees around him.

Number 8: Megyn Kelly says Santa Claus is white.

In 2013, Kelly was hosting a roundtable discussion on a slate article that questioned why Santa Claus is typically depicted as white.

The host blasted the article, insisting that Santa was white, something she felt the need to reassure kids watching at home.

And by the way, for all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white, but

this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa.

Kelly's comments attracted attention on comedy shows like The Daily Show and Colbert Report and news shows like Rachel Maddow.

Kelly would later claim that her comments were tongue-in-cheek, though her critics didn't buy it.

For me, the fact that an offhand gesture I made during a segment about whether Santa should be replaced by a penguin has now become a national firestorm says two things: race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country, and

Fox News and yours truly are big targets.

Number 7: Bill O'Reilly on George Tiller.

A pro-life conservative, Bill O'Reilly was highly critical of the late George Tiller, a Kansas doctor known for performing late-term procedures.

And so, during numerous broadcasts of his program in the late 2000s, the O'Reilly Factor host labeled Tiller with a highly charged nickname.

When Tiller was tragically killed in the foyer of his church in 2009, several outlets speculated that O'Reilly's allegedly heated rhetoric may have contributed to the incident.

O'Reilly, however, denied that his words had any connection to the doctor's death.

Number 6: Sean Hannity on the Seth Rich conspiracy.

In 2016, Seth Rich, a 27-year-old staffer working for the Democratic National Committee, was shot dead in Washington, D.C.

Police said the killing appeared to be a botched robbery, though the case remains unsolved.

In 2017, Fox News published a now-retracted story centered around a conspiracy theory that Rich had leaked Democratic Party emails to WikiLeaks before his death.

Hannity has been pursuing this theory that Seth Rich was actually the person who leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks and that he was assassinated by the party as a result of that.

During this period, Sean Hannity ran numerous stories pushing the conspiracy, which resulted in several advertisers pulling their ads.

In 2018, Seth Rich's family filed a lawsuit against Fox News.

Out of respect for the family's wishes for now, I am not discussing this matter at this time.

Number 5: Glenn Beck calls Obama a racist.

During a 2009 appearance on Fox and Friends, Beck called Barack Obama, the first African-American president, a racist who had a deep-seated hatred of white people and white culture.

This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.

In response, dozens of advertisers pulled their ads from Fox News.

Beck apologized repeatedly for his comments on more than one occasion, most notably in a 2010 interview with Chris Wallace and in a 2016 New Yorker piece profiling him.

However, he took back his apology and doubled down on the comments during an interview with Tucker Carlson in 2021.

Number 4: Greg Gutfeld's comments on the Holocaust.

Playing to his brand of edgy humor, Gutfeld has been known to put his foot in his mouth for shock value.

In 2025, he flippantly suggested conservatives start calling each other "Nazis" to take the sting out of left-wingers giving them that label.

Another inartful comment was in 2023 when he cited Holocaust survivor Frankl in claiming that in order to survive the camps, Jewish inmates had to learn useful skills.

Vic Frankl talks about how you had to survive in a concentration camp by having skills.

The comment immediately received backlash online, and

the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Memorial and Museum put out a statement to refute Gutfeld's comments, characterizing them as oversimplifying "complex history." Number 3: Brian Kilmeade on involuntary lethal injection.

During a 2025 broadcast of Fox and Friends, Kilmeade and his co-hosts were discussing the stabbing of Iriana Zaruska, a North Carolina woman, by DeCarlos Brown Jr., a mentally ill man.

The story prompted the co-hosts to debate how law enforcement should interact with the mentally ill to ensure public safety.

Kilmeade suggested that if mentally ill people rejected help from shelters or institutions, they should be given involuntary lethal injection.

Or involuntary lethal injection or something.

After a few days of public outcry condemning this suggestion as horrific and inhumane, Kilmeade delivered an on-air apology.

I wrongly said they should get lethal injections.

I apologize for that extremely callous remark.

Number 2: Tucker Carlson on the great replacement theory.

It's common when you tune in to Fox News to hear commentators rail against immigration, but

Tucker Carlson took it a step further on his show.

He pushed the idea that large swaths of non-white people were brought into Western countries like the U.S.

by shadowy forces to demographically supplant white majorities.

Known as the great replacement theory, the idea has allegedly motivated mass shootings such as the Buffalo Grocery Store in 2022 and the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings.

Several groups, such as the ADL, have called the great replacement theory anti-Semitic propaganda and called for Tucker Carlson to be deplatformed for pushing these dangerous views.

In political terms, this policy is called the great replacement, the replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from faraway countries.

presidential election has been a source of contention in several conservative circles who claim that the election was stolen from Donald Trump.

Shortly after the election, Fox News ran several stories that claimed that elections in several states weren't on the level.

However, trouble soon began when anchors such as Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo and certain guests started accusing Dominion and Smartmatic of rigging the voting machines.

But they also used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip, and

In response, Dominion sued Fox News, and the news organization ended up settling for more than $785 million.

Moments ago, we learned there is a settlement, a settlement, in the high-stakes trial between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox.
