"Good Morning Britain" co-hosts Piers Morgan, who's a friend of Trump's, and Susanna Reid commented to Tucker that he was being noticeably careful with his remarks, refusing to be negative so as to not offend his fans who like the president.
Tucker, who is gearing up for his upcoming stand-up comedy tour in the U.K. admitted that he does talk about Trump in some of his comedy bits. However, unlike some of his peers in stand-up, such as Kathy Griffin who released an IS-inspired beheading image depicting the Trump, Tucker is keeping his comments inspirational.
"I say a little bit of stuff but I try and encourage him to do the right thing. I'm not a comedian that dogs people out. I want you to do that right thing, hopefully we can be friends one day and we can talk," Tucker continued. "I want him to be successful, I want him to do that right thing. That's my whole attitude and in my show, that's what I talk about."
