Stephen Colbert's CBS "Late Show" Will End in May

[BarkCampbell]

This Gutfield fellow over to Fox has been presented as the more 'legitimate' sort of late-nite TV host, because he's 'funnier', his audience is larger and, presumably, he makes money -while Colbert is presented as a money loser, unfunny and a propaganda merchant - the last presumably a 'unique' defect.

Here's what I found out about Gutfield, because I don't tend to watch him, feel free to challenge the following :

After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Gutfeld said that the media were emotionally manipulating viewers with footage from the conflict "...because that makes a profit for news companies."[36][37] Gutfeld was rebuked by Fox News foreign affairs correspondent Benjamin Hall who was on the ground in Kyiv: "This is not the media trying to drum up some emotional response. This is absolutely what's happening."[36][37] A few days later, Hall was seriously injured, while Pierre Zakrzewski (who also worked for Fox) and a Ukrainian journalist were killed, in a surprise attack on the journalists by Russian forces.[38]

On July 15, 2025, Gutfield attracted controversy after claiming conservatives should reclaim the word "Nazi" for themselves following comparisons of ICE agents and Trump to Nazism. Gutfield stated that "This is why the criticism doesn't matter to us when you call us Nazis. Nazi this and Nazi that. You know, I'm beginning to think they don't like us. You know what? I've said this before. We need to learn from the Blacks. The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it. So, from now on, it's, 'What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what's hanging, my Nazi?'"

During the July 24, 2023, broadcast of The Five, Gutfeld and co-host Jessica Tarlov discussed an educational curriculum in Florida public schools that would teach students that "slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit".[39] Tarlov, who said she is Jewish, disagreed with the curriculum and asked if this could be argued for those who perished in the Holocaust. Gutfeld then invoked Viktor Frankl's book Man's Search For Meaning, implying that those who survived the Holocaust had to be skilled or useful.[39] [it never occurred to him to mention, most relevantly, astonishingly lucky]

If THIS guy is your shining example of a person to sum up the news of the day, crack some jokes, lend some insight, all I can say is...... this is exactly where we are.

Still funnier than Colbert, Kimmel, Stewart (Leibowitz), and Oliver.

Wow, are you telling us that Jon Stewart is J-Jewish. ???? That changes EVERYTHING. Tell us the most side-splittingly hilarious joke Herr Gutfeld has cracked in his life, since you keep telling us how funny he is, how much funnier he is. Maybe I sold him short. Knock our socks off

I'd say youtube him yourself. It's not my job to do your work. But, based off your benign examples of why we shouldn't enjoy him, I doubt your youtube algorithm will provide anything but video essays condemning Gutfeld meant to further your progressive outrage. They'll be listed right next to the several "Chapelle is a punching down transphobe" clips.

I like Gutfield, used to watch him on Red Eye back in the day.

To Miko, yes I already said this, but bares repeating. The difference is that Gutfeld’s shows are news/commentary with some comedy. I fully admit he sometimes isn’t that funny, some of his jokes are hackneyed as hell. But the network late night shows are supposed to be comedy first. They’re supposed to appeal to everyone.

You go to Fox News, you should have an idea of what you’re going to get. Broadcast networks shouldn’t be that way. I get it, they have changed, but look at the results. Speaks for itself.

And Gutfeld’s format is different too. He has two semi-regular guests, then changes people out who are either comedians, reporters, politicians, etc. That keeps it fresh. Sure, late night has difference guests, but they’re usually there to promote themselves. Sometimes that happens on Gutfeld, but more often than not they’re just on set to be guests on the show and opine on current topics.

Well, guys, you are both of course ENTIRELY entitled to your takes, and you don't me to give you permission anyhoo, but I can at least say this - I can, apparently unlike yourselves, readily dredge up something from Liebenstein or Horoworitz or Goldberg (or whatever name Jon Stewart is masquerading from as a semi-true Scotsman to avoid being tagged as, you know....) from the youtubes that I dare say you will allow as funny - moreover, Stewart was going against the grain among some 'on the left' who were (for whatever strange reason that never made sense to me) down-playing the 'lab origin theory' of covid :

[And let me add - Chappelle does have a weird woody about 'raggen on' gender non-conformists. He's turned into a nasty old fart in his early-onset-dotage. ]
