Greg Gutfeld’s Appearance on the Tonight Show Draws Predictable Reaction From the Left
“the interview harkened back to what late night TV used to be; entertaining and fun”
In case you haven’t heard, Greg Gutfeld of FOX News appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week. Given all the news about the highly politicized and now canceled Late Show with Stephen Colbert recently, this was kind of a big deal.
Gutfeld’s appearance with Fallon was not political. They spent almost the entire segment talking about a time they met while out drinking in New York City years ago. There was hardly any talk of FOX News, and Trump came up only once towards the end, and even then, the mention was made in harmless fun.
In other words, the interview harkened back to what late-night TV used to be: entertaining and fun.
FOX News has details:
Greg Gutfeld shares hilarious story on how he first met Jimmy Fallon during ‘Tonight Show’ appearance
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld revealed how he first met fellow late-night host Jimmy Fallon during his Thursday appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show.”
After giving Fallon a warm embrace, Gutfeld quipped that it “brought back memories.”
“This is hilarious – we’ve met before,” Fallon began.
“Yes, you have no memory of it,” Gutfeld responded. “Which is understandable, because we were wasted.”
The “Gutfeld!” host said their encounter took place at an “illegal speakeasy” in Hell’s Kitchen roughly 15 years ago owned by their mutual friend Tracy, saying the inside looked “like a place where special ops forces waterboard terrorists.”
“You’re not making this up. I totally know what you’re talking about,” Fallon interjected as his memory was coming back to him. “I think I remember bringing beer into the bar, and then him charging me for my own beer.”
“That’s Tracy. He’s very cheap, but if you want somebody dead, he’ll do it,” Gutfeld joked.
Gutfeld then said he and Fallon saw each other, and the latter’s eyes lit up.
“And you run towards me, and you tackle me, like you’re a giant golden retriever,” Gutfeld recalled. “You’re like on top of me. And so we’re wrestling. We’re wrestling. And then you change, and you start wrestling my buddy Andy, and you’re wrestling him. And you guys get on the ground. You guys are now on the ground wrestling.”

As you can probably imagine, members of the perpetually angry ‘resistance’ media were outraged by all of this. How dare Jimmy Fallon talk to someone who works for FOX News and doesn’t hate Trump.

As Andrew Breitbart famously said, politics is downstream from culture, and this is what the left is angry about here. They think they own American culture, and they do not want to share it with the rest of us.
Perhaps if they were more willing to share, Colbert wouldn’t have been canceled.

Last year Colbert had one exactly ONE ‘conservative’ guest, and it was LIZ CHENEY, only there to bash Trump with him.
Another one guilty of 18 USC 241 conspiracy against rights.
Liz Cheney is a wh*re and not conservative. She will lick whatever boot will give her power. I wish her father would take her hunting and shoot her in the face.
Somebody sent me this this morning:
The FBI sent an official referral to the Justice Department seeking a grand jury to indict Adam Kinzinger
“He has no explanation for the $108 million he acquired when he joined the January 6th Committee.”
Cheney turned in her “conservative” card “because Trump” (which is why you used “scare quotes” in citing her as such).
Cheney’s an old school “surrender to the left slowly ‘conservative’.”
No thanks.
Let them stew. People that see Hitler behind every corner have no sense of humor anyway.
But at least they are likely to have highly-exploitable blood-pressure disorders.
OMG the comedian is having fun!
The sh*tlibs complaining are like this unhinged AWFL who believes any white people who “triple Trumped” should be banned from ethnic restaurants:

Wow, that woman is foulmouthed. Not to mention clinically insane. Am I safe to assume no husband, no kids, and some cats desperate for a new home?
FUN to a lefty is a child being aborted
Who cares. Most of the umbrage is the professional Democrat Party Minders. The Political Party Police.
As I don’t have a TV I’ve only watched pieces of Outfield on YouTube. I didn’t find him particularly funny although he had some nice digs at people. I was more impressed at how intelligent Tyrus is. He is a pretty shrewd person
Gutfield
I think Tyrus will have a show of his own eventually.
As for Gutfeld, I generally find his humor obvious and juvenile. I notice that oftentimes his audience does not give him the laughs he thinks he should be getting. Finally, he depends on gutter language to carry his act.
