They don’t have writers; just staff who relay talking points from the Democrat Party.

Bingo!

No mention of Gutfeld. Maybe because he was kicking all their @sses in the ratings.

Not that anyone should watch Fox News, but the Gutfeld Show is the highest rated Late Night show by far.

You don’t have to give a dime to Fox, just watch it on Youtube the next morning. Usually commercials are edited out, so that’s a plus.

The old Jackie Gleason Show, ‘The Honeymooners’, with Art Carney, Audrey Meadows, and Joyce Randolph, had a similar situation one time.

It was a ‘live’ show, broadcast from NYC, and was the most popular show at the time.

There was no video tape and reruns were not yet a ‘thing’.

One week they had no script and no rehearsals. They ad-libbed the whole show! and no one knew......................

Remember a previous writers’ strike that lasted quite a while and gave rise to the spate of reality shows.

If you subscribe to cable or a streaming service, Fox already got their money.

“Reality shows” were scripted, too.

Two of my neighbors in the LA area took part in a couple of reality shows. They said they had a fair bit of scope when it came to their lines.

I’m a Gutfeld fan, too. Only thing on Fox I’ll watch anymore.

I have never watched any of these shows or any of these clowns on them, but then again I knew real stars, and yes I knew Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon and Merv Griffin, both of them were very nice and real people, these clowns are just talking marxist fools without an original thought in their empty heads.

That is a risky game. The musicians’ strike of 1942 was an unwise move.

I don’t know if it makes a difference, but Gutfeld is filmed in NYC/Manhattan. Not in CA like all the others.

Johnny Carson, 10PM eastern every weekday night on Antenna TV. It’s a nightly time machine! 1972-1992

It’s ironic that the cool funny guys on those shows can’t think of what to say on their own.

Even though Carson had the best writers in the business, he could still do his own jokes.................
