Note: We are republishing this story, which originally made the news in September 2022.

So, am I responsible if someone, like a Hollywood star, has dreams about me? Probably not.” He went on to add with a smile, “Maybe it’s the glasses? Who knows?”
In a segment Carlson playfully called “Jennifer’s Nightmare,” he invited guest Trace Gallagher to discuss Lawrence’s comments, particularly referencing her family’s ties in Louisville, Kentucky. Gallagher humorously remarked, “While Jennifer might be dreaming about you, it’s likely her family members are more focused on watching your show.”
Carlson continued to laugh off the situation, saying, “She says she has ‘nightmares’ about us. Well, if that’s what they’re calling it now, we’ll take it as a compliment.”
In previous interviews, Lawrence had shared her thoughts on social divides, reflecting on how difficult it has been to understand different perspectives, especially within her own family. She has expressed the emotional struggle of navigating disagreements with loved ones.
Carlson’s segment also touched briefly on past comments Lawrence made regarding climate change, but he kept the focus of this discussion on the playful nature of her recent remarks, avoiding any serious critique.
The exchange between Carlson and Lawrence shows the lighter side of social commentary, with Carlson using humor to address a high-profile mention of his name, while Lawrence’s comments highlight how even public figures can have strong feelings about the media they encounter.
