Per Nielsen's ratings (in Oct 2023), Gutfeld! in particular nabbed the most viewers last week at 2,062,000, leaving CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert trailing behind with 1,984,000 viewers. Next was ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! at 1,625,000 viewers and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon at 1,329,000. The Fox News program hosted by the titular Greg Gutfeld was also the No. 1 show within cable news when it came to the 25-54 demographic, boasting 302,000 viewers within that age group.

Gutfeld! notably does not have Writer's Guild of America members on its team, so it continued airing through the union's strike, which lasted some 144 days. All the other programs in the top four were affected because they hired WGA writers.

Sarcasm and humiliation are among of our finer weapons.

One of those two comedians was actually funny - that’s a good start.

Are his jokes still 50% homosexual and poop? That’s the reason I stopped watching his show.

Kimmel and Colbert have lousy writers and their delivery and ad-lib lines just don’t come close to entertainment. Kimmel is a pornographer, for sure.
One look and you are gone. Only the faithful kool aid folks stay tuned....

Colbert was modestly funny for a while. Then in 2016 every joke was about Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders. It got old very quickly.

You’re right. Nick Marx and Matt Sienkiewic don’t get it.

Joyful laughter is being destroyed. It is replaced with snark.

saying “true” liberal comedy is more likely to “punch up,”...

Nothing could be more different than today, where all liberals do is punch down, in media and in comedy.

Hallelujah! I started watching ‘Red Eye,’ then it was cancelled. One day, I saw a commercial for a show with Gutfeld - ‘The Five.’ Been watching ever since. At least once, it was #1 ranked, & it is highly watched. Check my user id, cuz I posted an initial Gutfeld! segment on my user id, about how highly rated the show is. I posted another show segment, but I messed up HTML, and it didn’t post.

The best comedians left you wondering what they voted for. Johnny Carson for example.

They do seem to get a lot of what’s going on.

They just don’t like it.

Creativity, imagination and intelligence=good comedy.

Creativity, imagination and intelligence/=conform or else totalitarianism.

Modern leftists destroyed comedy are not funny in the slightest and can’t meme worth a hoot..

I saw someone (I can’t remember who) recently commenting that the left only does material that makes people in political agreement with them clap but not really laugh. IMO, that ‘s not comedic.

....As writer stats.....”While the creators of this content don't always agree on specific issues, they are united in their motivations to hilariously own the libs.”....

It was not until Gutfield I cared for any late night programs. So never watched them. But Gutfield and his co-hosts are all so funny, with varied personalities, it's just great “entertainment” and enjoyable presentation.

I don't really care for Gutfeld’s show. I've never even watched Colbert's show.

Colbert is the nastiest # I’ve every seen on TV.

Ah so liberal leaning comedy “punches up” in their words. Do tell me about SNL and all those late night comedians jokes about Obama. I mean, he was president for 8 years. You don’t get more “up” than that. What did they make fun of him for?

*crickets*

BTW, who is “up”? Isn’t it most billionaires? Who do they vote for? Isn’t it CEO’s of major corporations? Who do they support? How about Wall Street? Who do they give the most money to? Big Tech? Oh I know! How about Hollywood and Academia?

Who’s really punching “up”? Here’s a hint - it ain’t liberals/leftists.

Hows Colbert doing these days with his “appendicitis?”

Oxymoron; Liberal humor. It just isn’t funny.
