That fucking guy would get his ass kicked acting like that anywhere else outside a Fox studio.
Well, that's not a news program. This is Gutfeld's late-night gabfest that runs opposite Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert. Those guys are full of political vitriol as well.

Yes but they present themselves as talk show hosts, not the news. Very different problem.

Nah, Gutfeld! has never been presented as anything but a conservative talk show. BTW, its ratings are often better than Kimmel or Fallon.

Doesn't have anything to do with how healthy it is to listen to him. I'd like to know the span of time it takes the average listener to start hearing murder instructions from their pets after watching that for consecutive hours.

Gutfeld has never once presented himself as anything other than a comic talk show host.

So Gutfield is what passes for comedy at the moment?
Call me old fashioned, but I always thought the idea of comedy was to make people laugh, not kill themselves.

Yes.
The preferred solution to CNN being shit is for an equal and opposite pile of shit on the other side.
It doesn't seem to occur to anybody that this just creates twice as much shit.

He's quite funny, in a semi-snarky, smart ass kinda way.
Similar to you.

Maybe it's no coincidence that so many of the hosts currently on American TV are British.
However, I have to say, they didn't send you their best.

Yeah! That would be as ridiculous as if a Comedy Channel did political commentary.

The hosts said many times that they're not meant to be taken seriously. They reminded the audience constantly of that which is most obvious about their programming.
And yet, here we are.
Guess they should've been more explicit!

FFS, no one was better and the "clown-nose-on/clown-nose-off" shtick than Jon Stewart.
And yeah, the horror of people calling a president illegitimate.
