'Gutfeld!' Returns For Second Straight Night
FOX News' Gutfeld! era continued on Tuesday night with the second episode of Greg Gutfeld's conservative late night-comedy alternative. Gutfeld started the show by going after Major League Baseball and wokeness. Here are some highlights, starting with the monologue.

If you made it this far, thank you. Every eyeball counts and Gutfeld's debut episode had plenty of them, winning the 11 p.m. cable news hour with 1.69 million viewers. Anyone returning for a second helping on Tuesday night was met with repeats of jokes from night one, plus a star-studded guest panelists that included Kat Timpf, Tyrus, Walter Kirn and Eric Trump.

Of course, Gutfeld does have his detractors. Not everyone finds the new late night show funny and some of the "blue checks" have gone so far as to describe the show as bad or unfunny or one of the worst things they have ever seen.
Greg Gutfeld’s new Fox News late night comedy show is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen and I was in Gigli.

I am now officially obsessed with the howling void of non-comedy that is GUTFELD! https://t.co/d85wkGeLnx

A thing I'll say in defense of Gutfeld! is that they're writing jokes for angry, lonely people who long ago replaced actual human laughter with the cry-laughing emoji. Obviously it could be funnier, but the people watching it do so to infuriate people they don't talk to anymore.

Reminder that it was a job requirement for me to watch Fox News, in order to write for The Opposition on Comedy Central. I'm malignantly familiar with Greg Gutfeld's attempts at comedy, and watching ppl discover this new iteration of his comedic legacy has been stupendous https://t.co/tQ2ytmVzBq

It seems that not everyone appreciates the humor being crafted by Greg Gutfeld and the late night comedy writers at FOX News. But perhaps that's just a reflection of our fractured society. Night three of this high-flying extravaganza is just hours away and the excitement is palpable from sea to shining sea.
