Greg Guffeld goes to the Gangbusters and proves that the conservatives have made great strides in the culture war.
The Fox News star and late-night comedian are hosting the eponymous show “Gutfeld!” It was featured in a Splish Variety Cover Story Wednesday. That was the only victory for conservatives, the story was fair and far from a hit. But Gutfeld’s indisputable, great reviews further demonstrate that rights dominate in culture wars, and that more and more Americans are craving comedy and commentary from fresh, independent voices .

According to the latest Nielsen dataGutfeld’s show is the only late-night program that greets an average of over 3 million viewers. His broadcast and cable rivals, including Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show” on NBC and Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” on CBS, usually don’t break two million viewers. Furthermore, Gutfeld attracts more Democrats and independents than the competition, and sits number one in two incredible demographics from Fox News.

“The reason Cordgreg is struggling most vividly is because people get tired of taking themselves seriously. They’re tired of being preached. They’re always like we’re Teasing things again as if they were,” he frequently told guest Variety, “Gutfeld!” “A lot of what’s happening late at night is like Johnny Carson’s style. It’s old. It’s tired. And they have an army of writers, but he doesn’t. Some of them have a few. There is, but it’s mostly him.”
That’s true. Things like Fallon and Colbert don’t even get close to the edgy, free, wise humor that’s caught up in the entire Gutsfeld show. Their monologies and interviews feel overly scripted and are shiny with fake integrity and corporate kindness. They are in lukewarm water and at room temperature. They lack a bite.
Gutfeld claims that mainstream corporate broadcasting hosts such as Jimmy Fallon have a deep desire to remain within the circle of liberal elites, even at the expense of comedy, and for variety. It was completely summarised in. Fallon and others are more than actually interesting to be accepted by their fellow travelers.

“I think Fallon was a victim of status preservation. When I saw them all agreed, rather than making a joke about sacred subjects, again, from status preservation. [it’s because] They know if they do that, they’ll be thrown aside,” Gutfeld told the outlet. “I’m already throwing it aside. I’m free.”
He went on to say: truth. They had an incompetent president for four years and didn’t say shit. Instead, they unravel the post by Trump, and it’s like you can do both. ” (Related: Trump’s victory is not a symptom of, and not a cause of, upside down American culture)

For conservatives, the importance of Gutfeld’s show and his success cannot be overstated. The idea of conservative and right-wingers has long thriving on a small but prosperous corner beyond the internet, in order to have a conservative personality and with its own independent platform and podcasts that beat funny people But the mainstream grass is sweet, a sweet victory. It’s almost incredible. Ten years ago, at the beginning of the first Trump era and high in nostalgia, who thought that a scathing conservative like Gutsfeld would climb the ranks of late night television and separate the anointed few. Is that so? It’s not me.
A lot has changed since then, but hopefully, if the changes continue, it will last for a long time in President Donald Trump’s second term and beyond. But in the end, it’s not really about Trump. Trump was just a ball of destruction to break through the primary line of defense of liberalism against culture that was against the awakened Pitees. After all, he is still just a politician. Now it’s time for others to shape culture and to mark a new era characterized by freedom, humor and romanticism.
