Broadcaster and former Fox News anchor Carlson has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump’s policies and is an influential figure on the US right.
He held a Christmas party in Nashville, Tennessee last weekend, with a number of well-known figures in attendance.
Mr Sheridan was pictured alongside a number of celebrities, including rapper Jelly Roll and stand-up comedian Theo Von. He also took pictures with Carlson, and conservative campaigner and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens.

In a post on his TikTok account, Mr Sheridan also shared pictures he had taken with professional MMA fighter Colby Covington and viral financial advice broadcaster Dave Ramsey.
The founder and CEO of pharmaceutical company Nutriband Inc, in August Mr Sheridan announced his intention to contest the presidential election.
He secured nominations from both Kerry and Tipperary County Councils, however he fell short of the four councils required to be on the ballot.
Mr Sheridan’s campaign was suspended on September 22. The 35-year-old ran on a platform largely focused on the housing crisis, saying he would work to ensure young, working people could afford to buy a home in Ireland.
Following the unsuccessful campaign, he returned to his work as chief executive of Nutriband.
Originally from Terenure in Dublin, he was a student of business and management at Dublin Institute of Technology until his graduation in 2012.
He founded Nutriband, which is working to develop transdermal patches to deliver medication through the skin, while he was still a student in 2011.
Carlson was a long-time fixture on the right-wing Fox News but his show was cancelled after e-voting company Dominion sued Fox claiming defamation over statements it broadcast claiming its machines had been rigged to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump.
It led to Fox paying the biggest defamation settlement in history, at $787m (€676.2m), but it did not have to apologise.
Carlson resumed broadcasting on his own social media channels and podcast and has solidified his conservative, anti-immigration, pro-MAGA profile.
