The Greg Gutfeld Show


The Greg Gutfeld Show is an American weekly politics show with comedy and satire on the Fox News Channel, airing on Saturdays at 10:00 p.m. ET, hosted by Greg Gutfeld, a self-described libertarian, a Fox News personality and co-host of the weekday round table show The Five.

Format

The show is modeled after traditional late night talk shows, with Gutfeld interviewing his guests, who are typically comedians, political commentators and Fox News personalities, along with show regulars Katherine "Kat" Timpf and Tyrus.
When asked how he was discovered for the show, Tyrus said, "I was just messing around on Twitter one day and I said to Greg about one of the jokes on his show, 'I got it. It took me a minute but I got it.' He said, 'You know I’ve watched you. You’re a pretty funny guy. Have you ever thought about coming on and doing the show?' I was like, 'Are you serious?!' He was like, 'Yeah, I’ll give you a shot.'"
The show commonly begins with Gutfeld performing a monologue, usually satirical or simply poking fun at current events. He then introduces the guests. They discuss the week's topics in a lighthearted way, focusing more on humor rather than rigorous political debate.

Reception

In 2015, Kelefa Sanneh, in The New Yorker, praised the show, saying that it was funnier than Red Eye, which "was often nauseating."
