”The king of late night is off … you get the Rodney King of late night,“ the ”Fox Across America“ comedian said
Apparently there’s too far even for a “Gutfeld!” live studio audience – a joke that guest host Jimmy Failla told Thursday night at the expense of Dylan Mulvaney drew a cold, hard silence from the live studio audience after the “Fox Across America” comedian referred to the transgender influencer as “him.”
Failla, a former NYC cab driver with a relentlessly crass sense of humor, got a modest laugh with his first dig at Mulvaney early in his monologue. The comedian said he was overweight as a kid, and “growing up I felt bad for being a guy who grew up with a set of C-cup boobies. But looking back I actually wish I had ‘em, I’d get a Bud Light endorsement.”
With a picture of Mulvaney on the screen, the live audience at Fox News studios in New York guffawed and clapped. Then Failla forced this awkward transition: “I’d rather watch 10 hours of him pretending to be a woman than sit through another second of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle pretending to be a victim.”
Crickets.
“Thank you!” Failla blurted and quickly moved on to his jokes about the former royals’ supposed high-speed car chase.
It’s not uncommon for the “Gutfeld!” audience to stonewall even Greg Gutfeld’s bad or potentially offensive jokes, something that Failla, a regular guest on the show, found out early Thursday. They clammed up at the first joke out of his mouth: “The king of late night (Greg Gutfeld) is off … instead you get the Rodney King of late night.”
Audience members and guests barely responded as Failla looked around awkwardly.
“Good start,” a voice was heard saying off-camera.
“Too soon?! It was 1992! Come on you guys!” Failla said.
Watch the exchanges at the beginning of the video above.
That audience is PATHETIC! PHONY. Jimmy Failla is FABULOUS!
“In a time of deception, the truth becomes a revolutionary act” —Orwell.
It’s a guy, HIM, HE. And, yes, he is a mentally ill man pretending to be a women. Rather than facilitating and affirming his mental illness we should be helping him get treatment, institutionalization.
Humorless woketards? Tough crowd.
NOTHING OFFENSIVE in what JIMMY SAID! TRUTH!
Gutfeld’s always been more of a libertarian on social issues.
Did they not laugh because the “him” really is a him? So where is the joke? He just said a fact.
Sounds like manipulation.
A real audience would not be silent after this kind of joke.
The guy wouldn’t have made this social faux pas had he followed my lead. When in doubt, go with “it”.
I watch almost every night and they all refer to Dylan as a he or male. The Wrap is reaching on this one. Since the strike, every day is a slow news day for them.
Gutfield seems a little *elegant* to me.
“I’d rather watch 10 hours of him pretending to be a woman than sit through another second of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle pretending to be a victim.”
I agree. If I’d been there, thought fast enough and was courageous enough, I would stand up and clap. Would I have laughed, I’m not sure.
Thanks for the info.
So libertarians believe people should be forced to use pronouns?
Did you see this episode?
“And, yes, he is a mentally ill man pretending to be a women.”
It’s much worse than that. He’s pretending to be a young girl!
Mulvaney is a male. Considering him to be a woman is insanity.
The audience is PC - Gutfield wasn’t even there.
