Johnny Carson would have so much fun with Biden…
Not since Carson retired have I looked forward to a late night show like GUTFELD. Some of his humor is a bit much, but along with his supporting guests, he has quite a following.
I think we’ve been hungry for something like this for a long time.
I know Carson was a democrat, but he poked fun at both sides, that was his appeal.
The Tonight Show's format was always celebrity happy-talk and plugging their next projects, with a few skits occasionally thrown in.
When Obama became President, none of the late-night shows would make jokes about him.
When Trump became President, none of the late-night shows made jokes about Democrats of any kind.
When Biden became President, none of the late-night shows made jokes about anyone (except Trump, conservative "supremacists," and Congressional Republicans.
And their "jokes" were really mean-spirited attacks disguised as friendly barbs, and then just outright attacks.
Gutfeld has the advantage of being on cable TV, which lets him loosen the dialog a bit. But mostly, he's not afraid to touch any "third rail" of politics, and he calls out everyone on the left who tries to play the cancel game.
Gutfeld's background is in magazines, so he focuses on the way media frames stories, while others speak to their own expertise (Dana Perino and the White House Press, Jeanine Pirro on the law, Harold Ford, Jr. on Congress, etc.). His panels usually include his sidekick(s), a news pundit, and a political/cultural/comedic guest.
What people like is that Gutfeld's assembled panels have the same kinds of conversations that everyday people would have while watching Fallon and his counterparts: a little skeptical, a little blue, a little "inappropriate." They say the things that we are thinking, but are afraid to say at work or in public.

The same goes for Jay Leno. He was a Democrat....but was perfectly willing to make fun of Democrats. They basically ran him off for daring to.....gasp!....make fun of Obama.
You see he was an actual comedian and not just a Democrat propagandist......He was the last one.
Johnny was more of an “Old School” democrat. He would have had a field day with this “woke” crowd generation.
Yup...I do not watch much TV. (A little Magnolia) But “Gutfeld” is my nightly must see...sometimes it is a bit sleazy for my taste, but laughing at the end if the day makes it worth it. I really enjoy Tyrus...
