Has anyone watched Greg Gutfeld's nighttime show on FOX?

never heard of it outside dl

Fox NEWS. Not on FOX 5

If u can’t stand him, wtf would you even care????

Liar.

I'm with R3. The expected weekend swarm of right wing trolls.

R3 / R4 My apologies. I thought my question was innocent enough: Has anyone watched this show?

I'm not a liar or a 'troll.' I'm sorry you're so triggered by a simple question.

I've seen it. It is pretty much the same as the weekend show he used to have or The Five.

It’s the same exact thing as the Saturday night show he had.

WTF would make you think anyone around here would WANT to watch a FOX show?

Fuck off Trumper Troll!

I understand what OP is asking. Sometimes when I'm alone and CNN and MSNBC are doing boring segments, I switch to FOX for a few minutes just to see what happens. It's always worse than I thought and I end up feeling dirty. I have never see this particular show.

The show has been a ratings bonanza for FOX. To say his guests are "eclectic" would be an understatement, but the unusual ensemble works. He is brutal to all liberals, but seems to save his biggest attacks for CNN stooges like Brian Stelter, Chris Cuomo and (too easy) Jeffrey Toobin. I always wondered why Trump didn't pick him to host the Washington Press dinner, he would have been hysterical.

He is too smug of an asswipe for my taste. I hated him on the other FOX shoes too. There is something so wrong with these guys that have the in-your-face snotty, snappy cute smugness. They are just sooo overly amused with themselves.

He and that Watters guy seem to be cut from the same cloth, R11.

None of these guys even knows what they’re speaking about. And Watters just goes with it because he’s getting paid big numbers on FOX NEWS (stop saying “FOX” only) and has their highest rated show. Watters was raised in an extremely liberal home and his mother is still a starch liberal. I don’t believe he believes what he’s saying.

Is his show like other fox news shows where they bring in phony liberals who don't actually defend democrats and let right wingers talk over them? Like those dumbasses Charles Lane and Kristin Powers or that useless pile of crap inebriate Bob Beckel?

Juan very much defended Dems.

R15 Juan Williams is the exception not the rule. The people I listed would say a perfunctory five words in defense of democrats then the rest of their time babbling on how about liberals are somehow to blame for whatever was going on.

R14, Bob Beckel hasn't been on FOX in years. On The Five, Juan Williams just left (although he's still with the station). The token liberals include Geraldo Rivera, Marie Harf, Jessica Tarlov and some others. Greg and Jesse are hysterically vicious attacking Dems, but my favorite is Dagen McDowell, who can eviscerate with just one look.

Dagen has no place in NYC. Jesse Watters is a born and bred liberal playing Conservative

[quote]Watters was raised in an extremely liberal home and his mother is still a starch liberal.

R13 I know you meant "staunch" not starch.

[quote]Jesse Watters is a born and bred liberal playing Conservative

R18 If true, he should be ashamed of himself. Why would the douche play conservative and not claim his truth?

I did not know this:

[quote] Fox News’ ‘Gutfeld!’ Finally Overtook Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ in Viewers Tuesday. Greg Gutfeld set out to beat other late-night hosts in the ratings and on Tuesday he finally won

[quote] Fox News’ 11 p.m. ET “Gutfeld!” finally beat every other late-night show — including Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” on CBS — Tuesday in total viewership and the advertiser-coveted age demographic of 25 to 54. When the right-leaning program debuted in April, host Greg Gutfeld and his promotional team made no secret of their ambition to overtake late-night rivals, but Colbert blocked him from the top spot.

[quote] On Tuesday night, “Gutfeld!” took in a total average of 2.120 million viewers, with 434,000 in the key demo, on average. The “Late Show,” which has an 11:35 p.m. ET start time on CBS, grabbed an average of 1.896 million total viewers of whom 423,000 were in the demo. Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” — an NBC program which also airs at 11:35 — came next with 1.216 million total viewers, on average, and 354,000 in the demo.

[quote] (It’s worth noting that “Gutfeld!” airs at 8 p.m. PT on the West Coast, and does not repeat at 11 p.m. when the broadcast networks’ late-night shows are on.)

Wow. No, I don't watch his show although I do watch Fox News (Bret Baier to be exact, sometimes Media Buzz). I don't care for him much, and I certainly do not watch his counterparts - Kimmel, Colbert, Trevor, or what's his face, the goofy one always laughing at his own jokes

I'm really not sure about what this means since during the Olympics (2 full weeks) Colbert and Kimmel did NOT do new shows, and Fallon didn't even broadcast at all (NBC Olympics).

September and October, not off-season, will be a better indicator of which show is doing the best.

A lot of people have watched it judging by the ratings. He's had quite a few gay guests on, like Chadwick Moore, a former OUT Magazine journalist.

Chadwick is hot.

Chadwick is indeed hot. I've seen him at a UES gay bar a few times.

Jesse’s mom doesn’t like how Jesse is on Fox News lmao

Aaron Rupar on Twitter was making fun of it for the first few weeks after it premiered, but got bored with it or realized he was giving him too much free promotion.

Conversatives can't do comedy.

....

....

If I can bear it, I’ll watch part of Special Report, hosted by Bret Baier, just so I can see what the Republicans game plan is. Obama never spoke truer words than when he said that Fox News wasn’t a journalistic enterprise, but a political organization. And to those on the right who think that MSNBC is the equivalent of Fox in its partisanship, I offer up the former’s coverage of the current goings-on in Afghanistan as rebuttal evidence. Try to imagine Fox, which flipped on a dime to carry Trump’s water, subjecting Trump to the kind of harsh coverage MSNBC has given Biden of late.

MSNBC is run by Republicans, too. And they have a Republican show, Morning Joe. It's not equivalent to Fox at all.

Facts do, indeed, have a liberal bias.

MSNBC is honest.

CNN and Fox News are both extremists at times

Is this a news show? I thought fox was a news station. Is it like Colbert, Kimmel, Trevor supposed to be funny?

It's "supposed" to be funny, and for mean-spirited conversatives it may be funny. But to everyone else it's usually stupid and cruel humor that just perpetuates propaganda from the RNC.

Conservatives have problems with humor because their jokes come from a place of deep malice. They don't seem to grasp the line at which teasing becomes cruel , ugly and uncomfortable for the people watching. Some sketch comedian from snl ( can't remember who) said years ago that the key to a funny impersonation is having some empathy for the character.

r35 that's exactly it - conservative humor makes people uncomfortable because it's malicious, not humor. It's only funny to the weird bully in school who tortured small animals for fun.

Whenever I switch over to Fox news they're showing a catheter commercial.

^ because most of their audience is geriatric.

R38 actually no. A lot of young white people watch Faux News.

r39 actually yes. The median age of Fox viewers is 68.

Dagen has a head shaped like a Jordan almond.

I hate Dagen.

Odd factoid: Greg Gutfeld went to Berkeley and was a Mens' Magazine editor in the US and UK for 15 years before he went to Fox.

"I became a conservative by being around liberals (at UC – Berkeley), and I became a libertarian by being around conservatives. You realize that there's something distinctly in common between the two groups, the left and the right; the worst part of each of them is the moralizing."

Gutfeld is an ugly name.

It needs to be changed.

Chadwick is a lame name but he's a white English guy. When I saw that thread about Chadwick Boseman this morning my mind thought " what black mama names her black son CHADWICK?".

He seems manic on screen and I wonder how much of what he says it just publicity-seeking clickbait.

Names don’t belong to a race. Get over yourself

[quote] Names don’t belong to a race

Nobody better be stealing my name

Hilarious, R47

I hate to admit it but I find his "sidekicks" interesting. Kat is funny sometimes and has unusual points of view. Tyrus also can be quite interesting. I think they are both liberterians (at least she is) so they don't hold the usual Fox views. Greg is too but he falls more in line with standard Fox stuff although I've heard Trump mention that it took Gutfeld too long to come to his side. He says he only did it for the anarchy of the situation.

The world is shifting and maybe the old stereotype that conservatives can’t do humor, and that this gay kid has found an ideological home on far right is food for thought. Maybe I should give Fox a look and give the GOP consideration at election time. Who knows, right wing might be right for me.

R50, you sound dumber than a box of rocks.

R51 you sound like someone unused to polite conversation.

R35, that’s why I stopped watching SNL. When the cast demanded to be given a week off instead of having to communicate with a conservative when Elon Musk hosted, I washed my hands of it. You can’t pretend to do satire if you literally refuse to have any communication with the other side.

[quote]conservatives have problems with humor because their jokes come from a place of deep malice.

I think that is true of most comedians think David Letterman, Joan Rivers, deeply angry people.

I don't do polite with right-wing fascist wannabes, R52.

I see the conservatives / libertarian trolls have shown up in the thread. You should actually watch Gutfeld! before you defend it.

And FYI, Elon Musk is a pretentious gasbag defended by weird nerds. He's a shyster, a huckster, a flimflam artist. He's the libertarian sociopath version of Trump. His promotion on SNL was compared to Trump's appearance on SNL because it was amplifying cruel and horrible people.

So of course THAT would be what caused you to daintily "wash your hands" of SNL, a show you probably didn't even watch.

Who has actually watched a full SNL wo. surfing for something better @ the same time? It's been Boring & unfunny for years. Even most of the music sucks.

[quote] Conservatives have problems with humor because their jokes come from a place of deep malice.

That's hysterically funny coming from a bunch of bitchy old queens. Yes dear, left-wing comedians are always gentle, fair, and kind.

[quote] I see the conservatives / libertarian trolls have shown up in the thread.

As opposed to the liberal / progressive trolls who are CONSTANTLY on here?

Conservatives aren't funny because they always punch down.

Liberals and progressive aren't trolls. They're the voice of reason against the Nazi GOP and Qanon lunatics.

I am constitutionally incapable of watching anything on Fox News.

R59 facts have a liberal bias.

R69 It's not them "punching down" it's that they aren't funny, are delivered by sociopaths and the spiritual twin of the nasty kid who never bathed and was caught masturbating in the janitor's closet at school

R59 we aren't trolls, we are, in fact, the primary population of this site. Conservatives love to invade places that aren't wanted and then whine about being made fun of and excluded because it feeds into their constant victimization narrative, without which they would turn to dust

[quote] Liberals and progressive aren't trolls. They're the voice of reason against the Nazi GOP and Qanon lunatics.

Oh dear. A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

[quote] I am constitutionally incapable of watching anything on Fox News.

Thank you for the press release, but nobody cares.

[quote] Conservatives love to invade places that aren't wanted

Whoops. Freudian slip, dear? Now tell me who doesn't seem themselves as a perennial victim?

R65 Oh, have you polled everyone to determine that, you fetid cunt?

I've never seen the Gutfield show. When I had cable, every so often I would venture over to FOX News to step outside of the so-called liberal bubble the media says liberals are stuck in.

I tried to be open-minded and hear what the other side has to stay. Let me tell you, I could only stomach that shit in very small doses.

Between the lies, the omissions, the manipulation of facts to suit their agenda. It's all just so gross and like R9, I always felt dirty and had to change the channel.

I n the last 20 months alone, that channel is responsible for so much death and misinformation. I sincerely wonder if half the people who work there even believe the shit they spew.

Of course they don't, r68. For example, *every* last one is vaccinated.

R67 - It's common sense. Just like the phrase, "Nobody would ever fuck you, R65/R67, with getting paid first." Oh, and dear, stop liking your own posts. It's tacky.

R64, that's true. I suggest checking the rubbish bins for the rotting remains of whatever you had for a mind.

I remember a Fox News talkshow hosted by Gutfeld years ago in the wee hours of the morning, 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. I'd catch it once in awhile and it wasn't bad. Wasn't great but it wasn't bad. He had a panel of three that never changed - can't remember any of them - and then a political guest. I was wondering if his current show was cut from the same cloth.

That was Red Eye, R72, and yes, it's basically the same show, except they sit in chairs instead of behind a table.

Haven't seen it or him or much Fox for that matter. Is he funny? Is the show funny? Ironic? Gather it isn't news.

Red Eye was exhaustingly awful. If smugness and arrogance were worth pennies a pound they would have all been rich.

[quote] that's true. I suggest checking the rubbish bins for the rotting remains of whatever you had for a mind.

So clever, you! Are there any other bon mots you wish to steal by way of repurposing?

R66 No, just a typo, but I can tell you're "special" so you probably really did think it meant something else.

Greg is much better on The Five. His repartee with Jesse Watters is hilarious. Occasional panelist Dagen McDowell can be Lady MacBeth , but pity the poor liberal who tangles with her.

R78 you’re on the wrong site

And you're on the wrong side, R79

I used to occasionally hate watch him but it got to the point where after I felt like I needed to wash myself down with a firehose.

[quote] bon mots

R76 The people in this thread wouldn't understand fancy words like that.

[quote]Greg is much better on The Five. His repartee with Jesse Watters is hilarious.

I think I would need an example of this before I could believe it. I can imagine Gutfeld saying something funny accidentally once in a long while, but not Jesse Watters.

Jesse is a moron.

I watched Gutfeld once to check it out. Awful and unfunny garbage for reasons mentioned here over and over. The humor is mean and vile and ugly, and I cannot listen to it let alone laugh at it.

[quote] … mean and vile and ugly

Mary!

There is something very self righteous about him that makes him even more unbearable than most republicans to me.

Thought he is a Liberterian

Oh, come on, lighten up. Liberals have to learn to take a punch, as well as giving them out.

They aren't punches, it's just cringeworthy humor. We're recoiling from the secondhand embarrassment.

Anyone who can't laugh, especially at themselves is a sorry sod, indeed.

R88 A liberterian is just a republican too embarrassed to admit they are a republican.

Wow imagine being able to read the hearts & minds of EVERY Libertarian! Kreskin's got nothing on you... Can you tell what the lottery numbers are going to be for Tuesday?

Don't be so doctrinaire, R92! Are you incapable of appreciating nuance?

Neither a Libertarian nor a Republican, any right-winger really, would know nuance if it bit them on the ass, repeatedly.

Sorry R76, but that cleverness came right out of my own little brain. It is rather telling that you think something made up on the spot had to be stolen from somewhere.

What are the 3 things that totalitarianism removes from a society, music, HUMOR..

Also ever notice how thin skinned people are really not much fun to be around.. Just saying

Good thing Gutfeld! is morbidly obese then

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R97, what funny is that you think Greg Gutfeld is in any way connected to humor. Also, if conservatives were any more thin-skinned they'd be translucent.

no r98 he lost an incredible amount of weight during the pandemic. Odd since most people were gaining.

R101 that's cocaine for ya

[quote] A liberterian is just a republican too embarrassed to admit they are a republican.

Says a simple-minded idiot who doesn't understand politics and is too lazy to do proper research. Fine, anyone can play that game: A progressive is a communist trying to rebrand.

[quote] They aren't punches, it's just cringeworthy humor. We're recoiling from the secondhand embarrassment.

It's not the humor that makes you cringe and recoil, but the grain of truth in the joke. It also goes both ways for right wingers who can't take a joke at their expense. Self-awareness is a beautiful thing.

Exactly, R104.

R 100. Sorry, missed where I said I thought Gutfeld was funny. Never seen him, don't know him or his shows..However, you seem, ' versed in the arts' One of your guilty pleasures? Secretly watching while munching nachos. Never attributed being thin skinned to any political persuasion. I'll leave those sweeping, gross generalizations to you. Easier to paint others w. a broad brush than to be openminded & explore.

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation." Not me Herbert Spencer. But feel free, have at it, brand a whole group of people you haven't even met.

I'd love an example of his humour

Years ago, Greg Gutfeld was the editor of Men's Health magazine, which I always thought was a fairly gay job. But then he went on to Maxim, and then he ended up at Fox. It wouldn't surprise me if he were very closeted.

R103 seems triggered. Libertarians are clearly special geniuses and not just sociopathic crypto tech lords who don't care about all the religious and social issues associated with Republicans but want the freedom to do whatever they want and have as much money as they want, no matter who it harms in the process.

R104 sure, keep telling yourself that. Whatever makes you sleep best at night.

Gutfeld? Gutfeld? I wouldn’t invite him to the Mortimer Club.

r110 - I sleep fine at night. And unlike you, I don't need to pop Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, and Zoloft like they were Skittles.

r112 that's great for you! I'm really happy for your success in sleeping!

There is no such thing as conservative humor

Maybe if the show is so popular, they will hire actual, talented comedy writers. It's uniformly bad. Take this example where they make fun of Jen Psaki. You actually should be able to do a funny take on "Jen after hours" and all her "Let me circle back" talk. But instead, they put some actress in a bad red wig, and then they think they're done, no funny writing required. Just look for other Gutfeld! shows on Youtube and try to find a funny opening monologue by Gutfeld. Not currently possible.

[quote] Maybe if the show is so popular, they will hire actual, talented comedy writers.

Uhm, if they're popular and beating bigger budgeted shows in the ratings then why would they fix what's clearly not broken?

R115 The video is right about her distracting hair.

[quote] why would they fix what's clearly not broken?

Because video at R115. That's so broken.

You just don't get the humor, R115. The "actress in a bad red wig" was Kat Timpf, one of his cohosts, which is part of the joke, along with the low-budget video production.

R115 you can't convince the brainwashed, they will make all the excuses in the world to keep their worldview intact.

Thanks R 115 for that link & clip. Never watched Gutfeld, but that clip you posted made me laugh. So, I will check him out tonite. I'm a shameless, greedy slut when it comes to humor. It you can make me laugh, I'll go there. Don't care about people's looks, history or politics, like I said I'm a slut when it comes to humor.

Just a little side bar.. Taliban just killed a musician. Why? Music is banned. They are now hunting other the satan spawn infidels who dare to make music. Sport will be next. And then humor, so not to worry R 115, you'll fit right in

[quote] They are now hunting other the satan spawn infidels who dare to make music. Sport will be next. And then humor, so not to worry R 115, you'll fit right in

I don't think you understand my point. If the Taliban goes around killing everyone for the crime of being humorous and having a humorous show, then they won't harm a hair on Greg Gutfeld's head. Your boy is completely safe.

If you need to explain your jokes, then you should be safe too.

Will watch him & get back to you on that one. The vid you posted on the link was hilarious

R121 you sound like you needed a lot of convincing to watch a right wing Daily Show spoof on a propaganda network. Well, at least until your last few sentences when you revealed yourself to be a right wing tool.

OOhh smell you, such a critic. When is the last time you laughed? Watch out might crack your face.

Tonight was really funny. I actually laughed.

OMG, how sad that you bumped this thread, R127.

I bet you like that Applebee's commercial.

How sad you comment on a subject that you have no interest in.. Go back to the trans-topics, you troll.

Oh, yes. DL is a place where people only ever comment on topics where they have an interest. You have shit taste in comedy. Clearly.

Bloody hell

TL;DR. This is why I’ve always contended that LIBS/DEMS/DUMS (whatever) do not have the same approach to work as the CONS do. It’s just a hunch, but CONS work HARDER! CNN and MSNBC do no offer live content/live commentary because everyone wants to take the weekends off, co these channels show specials and Dateline as filler. However, the weekend is when viewers can sit back and actually ingest so-called “news tv”.

BUT, Rachel Maddow, Anderson, Lemon, Cuomo, etc. have weekends off and this is where Guttfields’ whimsy ass starts feeding the Cons lies!

I'm watching it now. Greg is hilarious and the panel is great. I'll take this any day over the late night hosts on the other channels.

He's not funny. Ever. Greg Gutfield makes the Babylon Bee look like the sex scene from The Bronze. A dog with bone cancer is funnier than Greg Gutfield.
