damn_registrars's Journal: Whos is Gutfeld (trying to be)?

One of the only ads that ran multiple times during last night's Super Bowl (my wife, brother-in-law, and his wife wanted to watch it; hence in spite of the NFL's best efforts I watched it anyway) was for a Fox News talk show "Gutfeld". I already know the general premise that he's trying to host a late night talk show to compete with Colbert, Meyers, and Kimmel. I already know that he's getting high numbers because conservatives overwhelmingly hate all three of them and so they flock to the only conservative on late night while the liberals are split between three choices.

I'll add that I don't have cable. I'm not terribly interested in watching his youtube videos either.

I do suspect that he's trying to do one of a few things in general though as he seems to be openly going for the "entertainment" side of things:

• He's trying to be the new Dennis Miller (openly hostile conservative host) portraying the old Dennis Miller (equal opportunity basher with an intellectual flair)
• He's trying to be the new Dennis Miller (openly hostile conservative host), portraying the new Dennis Miller (openly hostile conservative host)
• He's trying to be the new Bill O'Reilly (conservative host with journalism background)
• He's trying to be Tucker Carlson (conservative lunatic pretending to be a legitimate muck raker) portraying Johnny Carson (talk show host with comedy credentials who largely leaves his politics at the door)

Or am I missing an option for him there? Can someone who has watched his show offer up a take?

"I'm not terribly interested..."

Yet, here you are, writing a great big long diatribe... on... who? I mean, if you're not interested, why do you ask? You know, the people you are baiting aren't going to bite

Your samba would be ever so much more danceable, were it to consist of more than one note.

Re:

Yeah, well, it's just a response to the same old shit.. But I will grant, your(collective) one note samba definitely tops the charts

You assume too much. While the numbers continue to dwindle, slashdot still has a decent sized audience. JEs never drew a lot of eyeballs but I did post this in the interest in seeing if anyone wanted to chime in.

mean, if you're not interested, why do you ask?

I said I'm not interested in watching his youtube videos. I'm interested in hearing what people who have watched him have to say about him.

Greg Gutfeld is a scumbag

[JustAnotherOldGuy]

Title says it all: Greg Gutfeld is a scumbag.

I won't waste my breath explaining why or any of that shit, I don't have the time to spend debunking anyone's pet bullshit stories or claims, suffice it to be said that Greg Gutfeld is a scumbag.
