Call it Nip and Tucker.
Snarky Fox News host Tucker Carlson had some mean-spirited fun at Nancy Pelosi's expense after an appearance by the Democratic House Speaker on television, comparing her to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson by saying 'he has had a lot of work done since we saw him last.'
Pelosi, 81, appeared on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday to push for President Joe Biden's voting rights reforms, a bill Republicans have thrashed as a Democratic ploy to cement power.
Carlson took a jab at Pelosi, a wife and grandmother of nine children has been rumored to have plastic surgery, during his Monday prime time show.
'Michael Jackson was on Face the Nation. Let us be clear this was not a video of Michael Jackson performing his hit songs of the 1990s,' he said.
'This appeared to be a living version of the international pop star that news reports claimed died of a drug overdose more than a dozen years ago.'
Jackson, a child prodigy who went on to superstardom with hits like Billie Jean and Thriller, died of a heart attack from prescription drugs at his mansion in Los Angeles at age 50 in 2009.
That did not stop Carlson from sinking his teeth into the bit.

Democrat Nancy Pelosi was butt of quip by Fox host Tucker Carlson in which he said the House Speaker 'had a lot of work done' and compared her to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson
'How can that be? Honestly, we have no idea. We are not theologians here, this is merely a news program. We can only show you what we saw.'
'Despite those claims, there he was, fully undeniably Michael Jackson talking no television.'
Before showing Pelosi's segment, Carlson warned his viewers that they would have been in 'for the shock of their lives' had they been watching television the day
