Gutfeld is funny, but not as funny as the Times' commenters explaining that he's not really funny.

Just because libs don’t think he’s funny, doesn’t mean we don’t.

Gutfield has been stomping Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert, Myers - the entire gaggle of left-wing late night bores and their audience of clapping seals for months now. I’m amazed the NY Times finally acknowledged it.

Greg Gutfeld is smug and annoying, in my opinion, but obviously many other folks feel differently.
To: aculeus
Bingo. Intersperse humor with truth and truth prevails
Simple words or images are retained longer than the revisionist language used by the left
Some of this started with the Clinton. Depends on what is. Is..

I think Gutfeld is very smart, but I don’t think he’s as funny as HE thinks he is.

Not to mention the poo jokes, homo-erotica and self-aggrandizing...
But aside from that cringy stuff, he is funny, and I do love his guests.

"insult conservativism"
Of course, leftist comedians NEVER insult conservatives, EVER! As for Gutfeld, a lot of his humor is self-deprecatory, and that is something you rarely see from smug leftist comedians.

Gutfeld’s potty mouth and scat humor is a little too sophomoric for me. But I’m glad he’s beating the libs.

I think Gutfeld is very smart, but I don’t think he’s as funny as HE thinks he is.Exactly!

The Tonight Show died when Johnny Carson retired.
Gutfeld is just filling the vast late night void. There ain’t any competition.

"Greg Gutfeld is smug and annoying."
To me, the annoying one is Kat Timpf, who is rarely funny and also very predictable in her one-note libertarianism.
To: SauronOfMordor
Libs don’t think the Babylon Bee is funny either...

Jimmy Fallon is not funny. Seinfeld had him on his show and had to throw softballs to him that any real comedian could knock out of the park and Fallon still could not be funny. Fallon looks wasted all the time. He needs his writers big time and they are not funny either.

Currently, Gutfeld first half hour goes up against the other shows last half hour. That’s when they have music and fodder.
On July 17th he moves up an hour and now his second half will be against their opening half where they do their crappy jokes.
Gutfeld might change his format maybe.

Nope. I’m wrong. I was mixing time zones.
Now Gutfeld won’t be on at the same time starting July 17th.

I watched him when he first debuted, but after 4-5mos, it got boring. I won’t watch FNC anymore, either.

Just wondering how many infotainment shows in a row can do the same story? It gets boring.
