'''Tom Tucker''' is the anchorman for [[Quahog 5 News]]. He's a quite narcissistic, handsome, mustachioed man who recaps news in pleasing baritone. In the first ''[[Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story]]'' segment "[[Stewie B. Goode]]", his mustache is revealed to be fake when he was fired, ordered to return it to the studio as it is actually their property. Tom is not one to be politically correct, nor does he take into account the feelings of anyone, including co-anchors [[Diane Simmons]] and most recently, [[Joyce Kinney]]. He would often make fun of Diane.
  +
He was married to [[Stacy Tucker]], whom he divorced sometime between "[[North by North Quahog]]" and "[[Mother Tucker]]". They had one son together, [[Jake Tucker]], whose face is upside-down. He often uses hookers and in "[[Petarded]]" had a dead one. He becomes Thelma Griffin's boyfriend in "[[Mother Tucker]]". [[Meg]] developed a crush on him in "[[The Kiss Seen Around the World]]".
   
  +
In "[[And Then There Were Fewer]]", Diane murdered [[James Woods]], [[Derek Wilcox]], [[Stephanie]], [[Muriel Goldman]], and [[Priscilla]], and framed Tom. Tom was sent to jail for the crime. Prior to this, he suggested to his boss to have a young sexy blonde replace Diane as co-anchor. He was exonerated after Lois found out that Diane was the real killer, as he appears in "[[Excellence in Broadcasting]]", mentioning Diane's death and her murders. He also introduced new co-anchor Kinney. He was also one of the many characters to be incorporated into the updated opening sequence.

Revision as of 10:52, 9 March 2020

Tom Tucker is the anchorman for Quahog 5 News. He's a quite narcissistic, handsome, mustachioed man who recaps news in pleasing baritone. In the first Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story segment "Stewie B. Goode", his mustache is revealed to be fake when he was fired, ordered to return it to the studio as it is actually their property. Tom is not one to be politically correct, nor does he take into account the feelings of anyone, including co-anchors Diane Simmons and most recently, Joyce Kinney. He would often make fun of Diane. He was married to Stacy Tucker, whom he divorced sometime between "North by North Quahog" and "Mother Tucker". They had one son together, Jake Tucker, whose face is upside-down. He often uses hookers and in "Petarded" had a dead one. He becomes Thelma Griffin's boyfriend in "Mother Tucker". Meg developed a crush on him in "The Kiss Seen Around the World".

In "And Then There Were Fewer", Diane murdered James Woods, Derek Wilcox, Stephanie, Muriel Goldman, and Priscilla, and framed Tom. Tom was sent to jail for the crime. Prior to this, he suggested to his boss to have a young sexy blonde replace Diane as co-anchor. He was exonerated after Lois found out that Diane was the real killer, as he appears in "Excellence in Broadcasting", mentioning Diane's death and her murders. He also introduced new co-anchor Kinney. He was also one of the many characters to be incorporated into the updated opening sequence.

Although he and Diane appear to have hated each other, when the cast believed that they were knocked off the air in "I Never Met the Dead Man", Tom pulled out a sex-paddle to spank Diane. Right when he was about to deliver the first whack, the cameraman exclaimed that they were on the air. Tom also made many sexual jokes about her on the air.

Quahog 6 News

His name in the Pilot Pitch is Mike Tucker, and he worked with Diane at Quahog 6 News.

In "Running Mates" he co-moderated the debate between Peter and his wife/opponent Lois, and gave the words in the spelling bee in "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing".

To maintain his mustache, he explains in the song "All I Really Want For Christmas" in "Road to the North Pole" that he wants a golden mustache comb.

He is an alcoholic, as revealed in "Friends of Peter G", partaking in Alcoholics Anonymous meeting Peter and Brian attend.

In "Tiegs for Two", he attends Quagmire's class on how to pick up women.

During the Quahog Thanksgiving Day Parade featured in "Thanksgiving", Tom and Joyce Kinney have to contend with the rain while rival stations 2 and 6 have awnings to protect their newscasters. When about to present the float featuring Rocky The Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle, Tom also has to deal with the car alarm blaring from the Quahog 5 News van.

Tom acted under the name of George P. Wilbur in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers but eventually gave up on Hollywood after landing bit parts in shows like The Cosby Show. In "Tom Tucker: The Man and His Dream", Peter talks him into returning to Hollywood with Peter as his agent landing a role on NCIS, but dumps him as a client when he becomes an agent for the resurrected James Woods. When James dumps Peter, Tom and Peter return to Quahog where Tom gets his news anchor job back.

In "Family Guy Viewer Mail No. 2" Tom appeared as an English version of himself named Clive Trowley. He started off telling a story about a man with a gun taking over the city of Manchester. He then moved forward to the main story. Queen Elizabeth II coming to Billingsbury. Proceeding into sport, Clive went on to see which twelve football teams tied that night.

In "Ratings Guy", Tom worked previously as a news anchor at channel 12 in St. Louis but had difficulty due to a swastika-shaped birthmark on his upper lip which is now covered by his mustache. After Tom does shave his mustache, he reports that its ashes were scattered off the coast of Acapulco, Mexico where the mustache was born.

In "Farmer Guy", in a report about Quahog crime rate rising, he states that he drives a 2006 Infiniti.

In the courtroom scene in "The Simpsons Guy", he is seated next to fellow news reporter Kent Brockman.

Tom finds himself being edged out of the spotlight in favor of new, younger reporter Dallas Portland in "The New Adventures of Old Tom". Taking advice from Peter to act younger results in his being fired. He contemplates suicide by leaping off the roof of his apartment building, but Peter arrives just moments ahead of Dallas who intends to cover the story.
