There's a candid video "Tucker Carlson Fly-Fishing in Central Park" from when he was new to Fox, his reaction starts like "oh shit the new channel didn't warn me about paparazzi" and then he's just a normal guy talking about fishing once he figures it's just some YouTuber who doesn't recognize him.

He may have a surgically incisive grip on rhetoric that few men do, but he's as down-to-earth as he presents himself (and losing the bowtie did him favors in that respect).
