If S. Colbert, J. Fallon, J. Kimmel, & T. Noah Are So Funny, Popular, & Talented, Then Why Is Greg Gutfeld The Current King Of Late Night Television?

[NYCQuestions1976]

I didn't include Bill Maher in this question because he's only on once a week. I personally find both "Gutfeld!" and "Real Time With Bill Maher" very entertaining.

I'm pretty sure that I know the answer to my question. I'm curious to see how many others agree and disagree with me, or if anyone has even noticed or cares.

I know why.

I don't know why.

[BCRanger10]

Because Gutfeld actually has a sense of humor, whereas the others you've listed are desperate, disingenuous, intolerable political hacks (and now apparently, in Colbert's case, violent insurrection instigators 😆😆😆... c'mon, gimme some 🙌). Jimmy Fallon was at least trying up to a certain point, but even he lost it.

[NYCQuestions1976]

You do bring up an interesting point. If the January 6th hearings are so important and so serious, then why is Adam Schiff and Stephen Colbert coordinating a comedy routine while the hearings are still going on? I don't recall any comedians and politicians coordinating comedy routines immediately after 9/11 at Ground Zero.

[exitseven]

Nobody on the networks is remotely funny. Colbert is just an asshole. Jimmy
fallon is probably the least offensive. No wonder Gutfeld has more viewers than the rest of them put together.
Greg Gutfeld always has a funny show. He is funnier than the rest of them put together. Lets face it, with Biden in the white House the jokes practically write themselves. Too bad none of these other so called hosts can figure that out. They are all too busy kissing Bidens ass.

[NYCQuestions1976]

I think it's even simpler than that. People don't want to be lectured while watching comedy and/or being falsely accused of being terrible people simply because they're not liberal.

[exitseven]

that is true too. The mainstream guys piss off half the audience. Jay Leno was the last of his kind. He made fun of everything.

[humanearth]

I don't bother with today's TV

I watch old reruns of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson

[exitseven]

@humanearth Johnny Carson was funny. He could have politicians and movie stars in the same room and somehow get them to interact. I never stayed up late. Mostly I would watch the monologue and then go to sleep.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[NYCQuestions1976]

You're welcome.

[humanearth]

I think Johnny Carson is a 1000 times funnier then any of them

The real Tonight Show Host

[NYCQuestions1976]

He was great.

[ChrisMaster69]

Who?
Pass who they are, can’t be that well known then.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Which of the hosts are you calling not well known?

[ChrisMaster69]

All of them

[NYCQuestions1976]

Okay. I guess you don't watch any late night shows at all. No worries.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah I watch tv until like midnight

[NYCQuestions1976]

Oh well all these shows air at 11pm or 11:30pm Eastern Time. What are you usually watching?

[ChrisMaster69]

Varies, Question Time, Man like Mobeen, 8 out of 10 Cats do Countdown etc

[SlangSlayer]

Liberals don't watch that type of Tv that's why.

Conserife like echo chambers and donate.

[SlangSlayer]

Conservatives

[SlangSlayer]

Not saying moderate can't enjoy it either

[NYCQuestions1976]

Liberals don't like and seek out echo chambers also? It's liberals that came up with the idea of "safe spaces".

[SlangSlayer]

Liberals have many different echo chambers.
You got gays, feminist POC, moderates. Etc.

Also conservative channel get liberal views because they like to trigger themselves

[NYCQuestions1976]

I agree with that. There actually is a small portion of the population that watch things they disagree with just to annoy themselves, but can't have a serious productive conversation with someone whose opinion might be different than your own. It makes no logical sense to me.

[NathanDavis]

never heard of him... so I do not know

[NYCQuestions1976]

Fair enough.

[Guy13]

I didn't even know...

[Guy13]

His mommie must be very proud...

[NYCQuestions1976]

It's "mommy", but okay.

[I_Can_Help]

Gutfeld used to be funny. Now he is simply a blithering Trump cultist.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Gutfeld is soundly beating all of the other late-night hosts and shows. That tells me either your conclusion is inaccurate, or if you are accurate, everyone watching his show doesn't care.

[I_Can_Help]

America is crammed with idiots. If that is the point of your poll, congratulations. You have revealed what we all already know.

[NYCQuestions1976]

No, the point of my poll is that when people turn to comedy and entertainment, they don't want to be lectured during the process. Colbert and Kimmel go out of their way to insult anyone who's non-liberal... and there are far more liberals in this country that deserve to be lectured and ridiculed more than anyone else. Even Bill Maher agrees with this observation.

[I_Can_Help]

By the way, Donald Trump isn't a "conservative." He is a criminal. And crooked politicians are great fodder for comedians. That's why he is always being mocked and ridiculed by sane people. Gutfeld falls in line with the FOX narative that Trump is Jesus. You don't think Bill Maher rips the shit out of Trump? If not, you have never watched him. He hates him with a passion.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Who here mentioned anything about Trump? You did, not me. Liberals in the government, in the media, and online are the ones who keep bringing him up, thus keeping him relevant.

[I_Can_Help]

Gutfeld is Trump's personal cocksucker. If you don't know that then you haven't watched him.

[NYCQuestions1976]

I watch both Bill Maher and Greg Gutfeld because I enjoy good political satire. Maher hates Trump, and Gutfeld defends him. However neither one of them endlessly talk about him. Liberals in the government, in the media, and online are keeping Trump relevant because they never change the topic of conversation.

[I_Can_Help]

You really can't grasp why Trump is still talked about? If your comment was serious, it's because Trump is the leading Republican figure and the current favorite to be their nominee in 2024. This is why smart people are doing everything in our power to lower the odds of another 4 years living with a criminal president. That is why we talk about him. Hopefully he will be charged with defrauding the United States. As more and more of his dirty-ass details emerge, it gives us hope that the cognitively challenged will have to look elsewhere to find a new hero.

[NYCQuestions1976]

If Trump is indeed the current favorite to win the Republican nomination for the 2024 election, it's because liberals and socialists with bowls of cereal in their heads refuse to let him go. Their derangement is keeping him relevant, and they're too dumb and/or too blind with rage to see that fact. I watched Gutfeld last night (and will be watching Maher tonight), and not one time was Trump brought up in any of the segments. If Maher brings him up tonight, as much as he hates Trump, I can virtually guarantee that he won't be spending his entire show on him. If liberals and socialists don't learn to let Trump go and stop harping on his existence, he's going to wind up being elected President again in 2024.

[I_Can_Help]

I am neither a liberal nor a socialist. I am anti-crook and pro-democracy. I like having my vote count. Trump wanted to toss my vote in the trash because he favors autocracy based on lies to stroke his narcissim. If you can't understand that, then you are the individual with Cap'n Crunch for brains.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Being anti-crook when it comes to the government by default means anti-politician. If we used taxpayer dollars to prosecute every politician in the government that was/is a "crook", we'd be even more broke than we are now and we'd have no politicians and no government.

[legalboxers]

never heard of him. Doing research on who he is. I see

[NYCQuestions1976]

Gutfeld is a right-leaning libertarian and hosts a daily late-night talk show that airs at the same time as Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, and Noah. Basically a mirror image of Maher. I'm pretty sure that you won't like any of his politics, but he is funny.

[legalboxers]

@NYCQuestions1976 read about him.. meh.. On a side note. We are fucking kicking ass. Lets just hope we maintain this winning streak.. because usually after the all star break - we fall apart. and the playoffs..

[NYCQuestions1976]

Comedy and entertainment are very subjective. Most people love Jerry Seinfeld. Meanwhile I just never found him funny. Go figure.

Yes I agree. So far, so good. Let's not touch the money. lol
