I simply can't find Gutfeld funny. I understand why what he's saying ought to be funny, and his delivery isn't bad, but I just couldn't find him funny.
(My working hypothesis is that Conservatism, by its very nature, can't be funny.)
Those rare times I've seen Gutfeld in "serious mode," he seemed remarkably well spoken, so it's not like I had anything against the man or his values.
His "The Five" show is... disappointing. Perhaps he's just not my "cup of tea."
I do wish him all the best, and would be elated to see him effecting a change.

Rush Limbaugh explored “making conservatism funny,” which mostly involves pointing out the absurdity and stupidity of the other side.
Also his collections of left-wing-media Talking Points, so obviously sent out from Liberal Intellectual Headquarters, were somewhat funny and extremely interesting, educational, and ironic.
“ My working hypothesis is that Conservatism, by its very nature, can’t be funny.”
That’s not true at all. You’d have do do more than just say it to prove it
Actually leftism and liberalism is devoid of humor.
State ru/state approved humor is funny. That’s all Kimmel and stern are doing here and they are not funny. Never were. This from a NYer who had stern o drive time back in the early 80s. He was never funny to me
Why would you judge conservatives’ humor by Gutfeld? He’s not even culturally conservative. Greg Gutfeld is not funny. He guffaws and screams
He uses scatalogical humor but in a bad way. Not funny.
What Gutfeld is 100% right about is laughing about leftist ideology and outcomes. It’s what Mel Brooks did/does unwittingly.
Gutfeld had a late night show red eye. Fox played it way too late and Gutfeld put in too much of his disgusting not funny humor. It was a great show. He had on up and coming media and political personalities of the day and led the talk. He had a side kick to keep it light.
It was a dark studio with a high top round table. It was the hosts and guests of the fox day gathering at happy hour to bounce ideas left and right
It was a gem. That’s where Gutfeld is funny. Appreciating their humor and ideas.
Complete insanity that Gutfeld did not see what he had there and fox is stupid for not working that.
I do love the fact that he’s beating out the Big Three network late-night shows, however.
The same for socialism or communism. None of the -isms are defined by humor.
That being said, the are some very funny conservatives.
