Trust me. You wouldn't like Gutfeld.
He and his panel of 4 are usually hilarious. Very funny, but they make fun of Liberals

Gutfield is at best bad boomer humor and at worst literally the bottom of the barrel laughs for really 17n stupid people.
I am morally and intellectually a much better person than anyone that has ever laughed at a gutfield “joke”

Just looked him up since you posted this.
Panel comedy discussion show on cable that airs before late night shows. Seems like an odd show to compare to traditional late night style shows.
I will give it a shot and see what the fuss is about.
Ummm....excellent comprehensive skills. USAID was funding a lot of socialist democrat operations. Suddenly the DNC is broke and laying people off, left wing propaganda programs are getting cancelled, Chinese pushed out, it's all connected. There are no coincidences. Utilize those skills of comprehension
Absolutely. I slept very well. And that must have been the reason.
You've got to go back farther than that. Carson started in the early '60s and lasted 30 years. It was generally hilarious during that run, and would have risqué content (Carson's show with Arnold Palmer's wife was legendary) that nowadays wouldn't even cause an eye to bat. Might even see it on Sesame Street these days.
Having politicians on is a relatively recent thing, I think. I don't remember Carter or Regan ever showing up on a late night show. Carson seemed to always have movie or television stars, with an occasional sports star.
Yes, that was my point. Little comparison in content, and no comparison in time slot. Yet they make the comparison anyway. Best I can tell, he has a staff of 4 or 5 comedians that write the content and at least one of those is on each show. Other guests are typically Fox News employees, either reporters or anchors, with an occasional "real" guest. For some reason, he likes to get down and dirty with poop jokes.
You are a 17ing clown.
Is there any evidence that USAID was funding a network late show? And how is it that the show is going to continue until the end date, if there is no funding?
Oh, and why that show and not others that are similar?
I thought Colbert was funny until he got TDS.
Keep paying attention. Remember the Obama administration did not spy on Trumps campaign, Russian collusion is real, Corona virus came from eating a pangolin, Hunters laptop was Russian plant, the vaxx prevents transmission, the vaxx is safe, the protests are grass roots not paid actors, police were killed in J6 riot. I could go on all day but some folks need to use their amazing powers of observation.
Letterman and Leno never came on tv saying they cried about election results like both Colbert & Kimmel have done (or actually cried). Trump winning in 16 broke both of them. You’re incredible off on this take. These shoes are hyper partisan now.
Bring back Craig Ferguson and hot chicks
WAKE UP SHEEPLE! At least y'all identify yourselves.
What a dumb thing for him to say. We're not a Christian nation, I'm not even sure what that would be, and we have a bunch of programs to help the poor.
Wow. I didn’t know Colbert housed immigrants. Very impressive.
It has the same wide scale relevance as the late shows, he just has an advantage of being the only one on the right. Although the disadvantage of being cable rather than a major broadcast network, although I’m not sure that’s as big of a disadvantage as it once was.
Is that a political statement or is that a statement on the values of our society as a whole? With no other context, I’m sure Colbert thought it was political. But, I’ve got news for him…there are myriad ways besides government intervention for individuals to help the poor.
Late night has sucked for a while now. Would rather sleep or zone out in YouTube. I'm sure Colbert will land softly in a niche format better suited for his humor.
Wasn’t funny. I couldn’t turn the channel fast enough when the tv was accidentally left on that channel. I’m sure they saw the numbers. I wasn’t the only one. He was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I'm guessing he will have the opportunity to try and do something like Gutfield on one of the left networks, but I'm not sure how small the niche is for him in his current state. He either was completely reliant on his writers on the COlbert report or he has just become too eaten up with politics to be funny. I'm sure he'll slightly improve on the numbers at CNN or MSNBC for the show he replaces if he gets a show there (so something north of 500k and 1M nightly if he replaces a prime time show, respectively), but I'm not sure he can actually bring in viewers that aren't already looking for people parroting their views at them and asking for laughter. I assume Gutfeld is the same. Not sure how many people are turnign on fox news just to watch him that wouldn't watch other fox news shows. I guess Colbert would at least have the advantage of being able to pull from other left news stations that didn't have a comedy'ish show.
I would guess he goes back to a Comedy Central type deal where people that enjoy his routine can seek him out there.
It's been suggested that his production has high costs and, despite being highest rated in that time slot, was losing money. Really, I think it's just a damning commentary on the time slot in the modern world. People don't rely on the nightly news to get their info like we used to. We consume it online when it's convenient to us. There simply aren't the numbers spilling over from the news to the late night shows like there used to be. Plus...now we have podcasts and other solid on-demand entertainment options. TV just has to change - but I have no clue what you put in that time slot that's any more attractive than what's there now.
I believe he actually does give quite a bit to charity. He's a devout Catholic.
What exactly did he offer that the Daily Show didn't provide? Stewart does a great job of making fun of Republicans and Klemper goes to MAGA events and lets people reveal how bizarre and ignorant they are. He struck me as way too self-righteous and dismissive of others. Gutfield makes fun of libz and there's a host of conservative radio and podcasts that make fun of libz and tell people on the right what they're supposed to believe about some issues. How much of that do people actually need?
I liked both Craig Ferguson and Craig kilborn.
Ferguson was great and funny. He'd flirt with all the hot chicks. That was pre-#metoo and most of them went along with it. Didn't help his marriage though.
I have no problem with political humor. I don’t even think it has to be perfectly balanced (one joke at the expense of Republicans for every joke at the expense of Democrats). My only requirement for political humor: be funny.
In fact, I think most people can appreciate humor at the expense of their side of the aisle as long as it is truly funny and clever.
What isn’t funny: being a “comedian” on television crying because an election didn’t go your way. Or as a “comedian” on television saying that unvaccinated people should be denied medical care (without a joke attached to it).
As talk shows die, I think one that may survive is Bill Maher. He is the most “political” of them all, but he hasn’t sacrificed what he is first and foremost: a comedian.
And while he lampoons both sides, he doesn’t have to be perfectly balanced because he doesn’t hide his point of view. He just finds the funny wherever he can and calls out the ********, regardless of the color of their tie.
Be political, don’t be political, just make us laugh.

Conan and Letterman were the only ones since Carson worth a damn.
Craig Ferguson would like a word.
I think it just it didn’t make the leap past GenX, at least not by much. That format is dead.
I’d be interested in seeing metrics on SNL political takes. I’ve seen plenty of making fun of Biden, etc. my perception is they make fun of whoever, whenever
Jessica Tarlov said the show was losing 40 million per year. I am sure that had nothing to do with the cancellation .
Saw on Facebook
Stephen Colbert was reportedly losing CBS $40 million a year. The WNBA takes a whole league to lose that much.
