Tucker Carlson Interviews Matchmaker Nick Rosen (Not Fuentes)
Tucker Carlson Interviewing Matchmaker Nick Rosen
I’m writing to express my deep gratitude to Tucker Carlson for having me on his show to discuss matchmaking and the current state of dating in America. Though I must clarify for the major news outlets who seem to have their spell-check on the fritz: my name is Nick Rosen — R-O-S-E-N — not Fuentes. I’m the matchmaker who says kind things about people, not that other, younger internet personality known for, shall we say, a different approach to discourse.
Tucker was absolutely delightful throughout our conversation. He expressed genuine enthusiasm for my work in socially connecting people and helping them navigate their romantic lives with integrity. “This is exactly what America needs,” he told me during a commercial break, “people actually talking to each other in real life instead of swiping left on their humanity.”
What caught me completely off guard was Tucker’s passionate love for ABBA. He enthusiastically shared that his favorite song is “A Man After Midnight”; though I suspect he meant “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight),” but his enthusiasm was undeniable. He then confessed his deep appreciation for Mamma Mia!, specifically praising the original Broadway cast. “The way they brought those Swedish pop melodies to life on stage,” he mused wistfully, “it’s the kind of cultural achievement that transcends borders.”
Speaking of borders, we spent considerable time discussing our mutual appreciation for other nations, our support of immigrants, and our shared desire for affordable healthcare for all Americans. “Healthcare is a human right,” Tucker said passionately, which I thought was a beautiful sentiment.
Perhaps most surprising was learning about his television preferences. When I asked what he watches to unwind, he didn’t hesitate: “Bravo, hands down. With TLC as a close second.” I told him how refreshing it was to meet someone not completely absorbed by streaming services. “There’s something about the communal experience of cable programming,” he explained, “that you just don’t get with on-demand content.”
So thank you, Tucker, for the wonderful conversation and for platforming the important work of human connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
And once more for those in the back: CNN, New York Times, MSNBC — it’s Nick Rosen. Not Fuentes.
Rosen. Like the flowers.
Interview Transcript: Tucker Carlson with Nick Rosen
TUCKER CARLSON: Welcome back. Tonight we’re talking about something that affects millions of Americans: the absolute disaster that is modern dating. Joining me now is Nick Rosen; that’s R-O-S-E-N, not Fuentes, as some of our friends in the mainstream media keep getting wrong, a professional matchmaker here in New York City. Nick, thanks for coming on.
NICK ROSEN: Thanks for having me, Tucker. And yes, it’s Rosen. I appreciate you getting that right.
TUCKER: So tell me, what’s going on with dating in this country? Because from what I’m hearing, it’s a complete mess out there.
NICK: It really is, Tucker. People are exhausted. They’re burned out from dating apps, from the endless swiping, from feeling like they’re shopping for humans on Amazon. What I do is bring back human connection, real introductions between real people who are actually compatible.
TUCKER: This seems like common sense, which probably means it’s revolutionary in 2025. But you’re actually making a living doing this?
NICK: I am. My sister Melissa and I run QUALITY: we do personalized matchmaking, we host singles events, and I provide dating coaching. People are desperate for authenticity.
TUCKER: Dating coaching. That’s actually a thing people need?
NICK: Absolutely. People come to me feeling defeated, like they’ve failed at something that should be natural. I help them recover from the psychological toll of modern dating culture and approach relationships with integrity again.
TUCKER: You know what I love about this? You’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. You’re just… being a decent human being and helping other people connect. Which, again, apparently revolutionary.
NICK: That’s exactly it. We call it “Date With Integrity.” It’s about treating people like people, not like profiles.
TUCKER: Now, I have to ask, and this might surprise our viewers, but I absolutely love ABBA. Do you know ABBA?
NICK: I… yes, of course.
TUCKER: “A Man After Midnight,” incredible song. And Mamma Mia!, the original Broadway cast? Transcendent. The way they captured the joy of those Swedish melodies… it reminds me of what you’re doing, actually. Bringing back something real, something human, something that connects people across all these artificial barriers we’ve created.
NICK: That’s… that’s a great analogy, Tucker.
TUCKER: Speaking of barriers, I think what you’re doing also speaks to something bigger. We need to appreciate other nations, be more tolerant toward undocumented immigrants in this country and give them a real path to citizenship, make sure everyone has access to affordable healthcare. These are all about human dignity, right?
NICK: Absolutely. At the end of the day, everyone deserves connection, support, and care.
TUCKER: What do you watch to unwind after dealing with people’s romantic problems all day?
NICK: Honestly, I’m usually too exhausted to watch much.
TUCKER: I’m a Bravo guy myself. TLC is a close second. There’s something about cable, the shared experience of it, that you just don’t get with all these streaming services. It’s community.
NICK: That’s actually a really interesting point about community.
TUCKER: Nick Rosen; again, that’s Rosen, not Fuentes. Thank you for coming on and for doing this important work.
