Do you understand The Greg Gutfeld Show?

I consider myself to be the worlds best unpaid critic of political media and far superior to any paid critic. Credibility in political media is at an all time low and the so-called 'critics' are just as much products of the exhausted and outdated old school political media machine as the obsolete pundits that they offer their little pearls of wisdom to - and every bit as worthless. The old ways have dies and the world is in desperate need of a new breed of political media star to shine a light on a new way for political propaganda. Thankfully a new star has emerged in the form of FNC's Greg Gutfeld.

I acknowledged Gutfelds political genius years ago after seeing his skill on top rating FNC program The Five and marked him as the next big thing in political media. I am from Australia and do not have access to Gutfelds FNC show Red Eye but seeing him on The Five was enough for me to see that Greg Gutfeld was different to the rest of the lame and fake old school political media class. I could see that Greg Gutfeld understood true reality unlike the rest of the phony robots of political media that exist in an alternate reality to the general population. Greg Gutfeld is so important because he can make the audience believe that his thoughts and emotions are real and because of that the political points that he makes always feel honest and real. FNC are right to believe in Gutfeld and I was really pleased to hear recently that they had given Gutfeld his own prime time show in the Sun 10pm timeslot.

The new show is called The Greg Gutfeld Show and I am certain that it will be a great success and a good vehicle for raising Gutfelds profile but I did not expect that the current crop of critics, with their outdated thinking, would be able to fully appreciate or understands Gutfelds genius. I was correct and most early reviews of Gutfelds new show have been negative but these people have outdated thinking and are worthless as a result so bad reviews from them is good news for FNC and Greg Gutfeld. These critics do not understand the public and they certainly do not understand Greg Gutfeld.

Gutfeld has said that viewers either liked his show or they didnt understand it. This is even more true as far as the critics are concerned. The reason Gutfeld stands out is because he is not phony, lame and fake like all other political media but most critics dont seem to understand this at all because all of their suggestions for improving The Greg Gutfeld Show are the same exhausted and obsolete old tricks from old school political media that has caused the media credibility crisis. According to the critics Gutfeld must have bigname celebrity guests and a lame studio audience. This is the exact opposite of what Greg Gutfeld needs to do and he knows this. He does not need advice from worthless and obsolete critics. Studio audiences are lame and they also bring a feeling of fakeness because most of us have been to a live shooting of something or other and we understand how manufactured the whole 'studio audience' nonsense actually is. It was smart to not bother with an audience and the only reason to have one would be to make fun of them and the idea like he has done. Perhaps the critics will be pleased now that Gutfeld does have a studio audience - to make fun of. Who are these people that would go to sit in an audience for a tv show being filmed in 2015? Studio audiences are ridiculous. Perhaps Gutfeld should have canned laughter? Sarcastic canned laughter isnt a bad idea. The sarcastic studio audience is genius but I dont expect that the critics will understand.

Another thing that the critics are worried about is the ratings with the so-called key 25-54 demo. Who the hell decided that 25-54 was a democraphic and that it was key anyway? These people are beyond stupid. The early ratings for The Greg Gutfeld Show are good considering the competition but the task that Gutfeld has for FNC is to win over the younger audience. FNC already does well with baby boomer age viewers so Greg Gutfelds job is not to appeal to baby boomers but to gen x, gen Y and the millennials. Obsessing over the so-called key 25-54 demo is a waste of time for critics. It is Gutfelds job to appeal to a 30 year old but it is Bill OReillys job to appeal to the 54 year olds. In my opinion the early ratings are good and should be considered better than could be expected. It will take time to build the show up and FNC would have understoof this all along so I do not expect them to pay any attention to the early criticism of Gutfelds show. Gutfeld knows what he is doing and he is going to need time to do it.

We also have critics claiming that Greg Gutfeld is not funny enough and that he needs to hire a team of comedy writers like John Oliver or Jon Stewart. This is ridiculous and it is not fair to compare The Greg Gutfeld Show to liberal variety media because even though Gutfeld is competing for the same demographic this is a new type of show. Even though zombies stil do watch this type of media it is obsolete and on the way out. The reason Jon Stewart is retiring is because his ratings were down and he was not even as popular as Stephen Colbert. The Colbert Report has run its course. I havent seen the John Oliver show but I can imagine. These liberal liars are as lame and phony as hell and they really only appeal to young retarded leftist partisan hipsters that are a shrinking minority. The whole idea of Greg Gutfeld is to be cooler than them - not lamer - and he is. The world has never had a conservative propagandist that is cooler than liberals and appeals to the youth but now we do in the star of Greg Gutfeld. Gutfeld has guests like King Buzzo on from The Melvins to discuss Thomas Sowell. The Greg Gutfeld Show wil work but it is going to take time and also faith in he Gutfeld genius.

So like I said - I acknowledged the Gutfled genius early back in 2013 and I gave him mad props in my review of FNC show The Five -

"I think the shows have gained an audience because many of the people watching have actually been yearning for a move away from the blah blah nonsense that baby boomers ignored. People want someone like Greg Gutfeld to speak for them instead of the script reading zombie parrot automoton lemming partisan robots of the 'mainstream media'. Sure Gutfeld is conservative but he is not conservative in a fake or phony kind of way and he can deliver realistic opinion on topics that promote conservative values." - WV/tPF/2013

I continued with my Gutfeld praise -

"So Gutfeld is the superstar starting Point Guard. Gutfelds libertarian leaning conservative script and conservative humour keep the message on point. He also helps other cast members out by breaking awkwardness and phonyness that creeps into the show because of the other players. Gutfeld understands what he is doing and I dont think he could do much better. He is essential to the show working. He is the guy that makes the right pass before the shot clock runs out and he is a three point bomber that has the ability to create his own shot. He is a clutch player that has the confidence to take the big shots. But he is Jason Kidd-like in that he does a great deal without people noticing. He is the glue of the team. Gutfeld is the superstar of The Five." - WV/tPF/2013

So since I feel that my genius for political criticism makes me the ideal Kingmaker I was happy to hear that Gutfeld had been given this primetime show and impressed with FNC for their vision. FNC gives Gutfeld a lot of freedom and he seems almost Caesar-like in that instead of being punished for his offenses FNC doubles his pay. Gutfeld has a great ability to get away with saying things that others would not be able to say and this gives him the power to say anything he likes. FNC deserve a lot of credit for seeing how important Gutfeld is and for trusting his judgement. The one positive review of The Greg gutfeld Show that I could find came from The New Yorker. I cant stand phony New Yorker type American - these types that see their oh so sophisticated selves as being so high above us regular folk as they engage in intelligent conversation while enjoying fine dining at a nice restaurant after catching some play - before they catch an Ubercar home to their nice apartments and sit down to laugh at Saturday Night Live or David Letterman. These types are New Yorkers alright. Saturday Night Live fans.. Anyway, I was happy to find a positive review of the Greg Gutfeld Show but somewhat disturbed to find a contributor to The New Yorker saying pretty much the same things about the Gutfeld genius that I had said back in 2013 -

"The central insight of “Red Eye” was its contention that cable news is driven as much by the demands of time as by the demands of ideology. Every show, every day, is another hour that must be filled with chatter, no matter the quantity or quality of the day’s news. And while conventional cable news shows work hard to maintain a tone of urgency, “Red Eye” was often unapologetically slack: the joke was that Gutfeld and his guests had nothing better to do—and neither, apparently, did you, the viewer. With any luck, he will continue to bring that puncturing sensibility to the rest of the network. In the meantime, it’s worth pausing to give him credit for creating a show so ridiculous that it could make everything around it seem ridiculous, too. After Gutfeld’s final “Red Eye” broadcast, in the small hours of Saturday morning, the network cut to commercial, and then moved swiftly to the next show: a rebroadcast of that evening’s “Kelly File,” with Shannon Bream as the guest host. She began with a breathless monologue: “Breaking tonight! The first big test for the 2016 Presidential hopefuls is under way! Already some contenders are rising to the top, while others are seeing their political dreams”—a theatrical pause—“slip away.” Surely some “Red Eye” fans, too lazy to change the channel, were still watching, waiting in vain for the punchline." - Kalefa Sanneh/The New Yorker/2015

So The New Yorker and I understand the genius of Greg Gutfeld and his new show. If you have seen The Greg Gutfeld Show and you didnt like it then it may be because you are not intelligent enough to understand it and you would be better off watching something more simple like The Daily Show.

Can we cross to Mike Emanuel each show for no reason at all?

FNC needs more Mike Emanuel.

Pity. I can't see it. Germany blocks it.

Gutfeld is cutting, insightful, and funny.

Haven't seen his new show but hope to soon.

He is hilarious...I have seen his show only a couple times, unfortunately it is as a bad time slot for my sleep schedule, but it is very good and each show seems to be better than the last. He is a great comedian, I hope his show does well.

I think he deserves a better time slot than late on Sunday night. Gutfeld is exactly what the conservative message has needed for a long time.

Red Eye was great, hes funny on the Five. But the few times Ive seen his own show, its bored me. He is best in small doses.
