Spacey – like Underwood – said, “This country is so mired in contradiction and confusion. We don't even know how to help anyone anymore because we can't agree on who needs help.'

“I mean, what doesn't come with a trigger warning these days? I mean, we're way too close to having a beanbag chair in the Oval Office. We pampered everyone.'

It's a familiar role for Spacey, who played Underwood on the hit Netflix show for five years.

He was fired by Netflix in 2017 after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including some by fellow House of Cards cast members.

Last year, Spacey and his production companies were ordered to pay $31 million for losses incurred upon his firing.

He then went on trial in July on charges brought against four different men in Britain and was acquitted of all criminal charges.

Discussing the allegations with Carlson, he said: “It's bizarre that they decided to publicly cut ties with me based on allegations alone – allegations that have now been proven to be false – because I don't think there were any there is no doubt about it: Netflix exists because of me.

“I put them on the map and they tried to put me in the ground.”

Carlson and Tucker dropped the accusations and discussed a possible presidential run for Underwood.

In character, Spacey said, “I think we both agree that we need to get some adults back in the room. So if that means taking on the role of CEO, then that is a sacrifice I am willing to make for this great nation.”

At one point, Spacey invited Carlson to be his second in his potential run for president

Spacey added that he needed a running mate and asked if Carlson was ready for the job.

Carlson replied, “I'm going to sleep on it.”

Discussing his thoughts on the country's social attitudes, Spacey said, “Okay, you think you're a bunny?” That's fine.

“But let me tell you something. You certainly won't see someone with bunny ears and tails walking around my White House unless it's Easter.”

When asked which party he would run for, Spacey said it would likely be as an independent. He said: “I have always been independent all my life, regardless of my party affiliation, even if I don't fully recognize my identity at the moment. old party.'

Spacey gave his thoughts on the current candidates, saying, “I love Vivek. Drain the Ramaswamy. And Nikki Haley is badass. No doubt she learned a thing or two from watching me.

“But I think ultimately we need someone in the White House who is not afraid like me, not afraid to push our country or a journalist in the right direction when push comes to shove.”
