Kevin Spacey is back with another Christmas message.
But this time he's taking on the role of fellow ruthless politician Frank Underwood from the Netflix series “House of Cards” and has hired disgraced Fox News host Tucker Carlson to join him.
Since being accused of multiple sexual misconduct allegations in 2017, the Oscar winner hasn't appeared much, except for the strange vacation videos he keeps posting.
In the 7-minute clip, released Sunday, Carlson interviews Spacey, who voices his “HOC” character's signature Southern accent, about Underwood's entry into the 2024 presidential race.
Spacey, in character, insists that the country is “in so much contradiction and confusion.”
The pair continue this until about halfway through the interview, when Tucker blurs the lines between fiction and reality by insisting that the two have “something in common.”
“Oh yeah, we were both locked up by our network,” Spacey/Underwood say, referring to his termination from Netflix and Tucker’s banishment from Fox News for several alleged reasons that allegedly included sending racist and misogynistic messages behind the scenes .

Tucker previously claimed he was fired from the network because they “agreed” to take him off the air as a “condition of the deal with the Dominion,” The Guardian reports.
Earlier this year, Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to avoid litigation in the voting machine maker's lawsuit that would have exposed how the network spread lies about the 2020 presidential election.
Spacey goes on in the video to condemn Netflix for kicking him out, while also claiming that “House of Cards,” the streamer's first original scripted series, brought the streamer huge success.
“It’s bizarre that they have publicly cut off contact with me based on allegations that have since been proven false,” the actor says. “Netflix exists because of me. I put them on the map and they tried to put me in the ground.”
