Gregory John Gutfeld (born September 12, 1964) is an American television host, political commentator, comedian, and author.
From 2007 to 2015, Gutfeld hosted the 3AM series Red Eye, a late-night talk show that also aired on the Fox News Channel.
You realize that there's something distinctly in common between the two groups, the left and the right; the worst part of each of them is the moralizing.After college, Gutfeld interned at The American Spectator, as an assistant to conservative writer R. Emmett Tyrrell.
In 2003, Gutfeld hired several dwarfs to attend a conference of the Magazine Publishers of America on the topic of "buzz", with instructions to be as loud and annoying as possible.
[8] The stunt generated publicity but led to Gutfeld being fired soon afterward; he then became "director of brand development" at Dennis Publishing.
[10] Beginning on February 5, 2007, Gutfeld served as host of the late-night talk show Red Eye on the Fox News Channel.
[21] By 2024, Gutfeld climbed back to 12th place on Mediaite’s rankings, reaffirming his position as one of Fox News' most-watched personalities.
"[23] The segment was posted to YouTube three days after the reported deaths of four Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, prompting widespread outrage.
"[28] Canadian Defence Minister Peter MacKay called on Fox to apologize for the comments and described the remarks as "despicable, hurtful and ignorant.
"[29] Gutfeld, while maintaining that the show is satirical and irreverent, offered the following apology: "The March 17 episode of Red Eye included a segment discussing Canada's plan for a 'synchronized break,' which was in no way an attempt to make light of troop efforts.
"[29][30] After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Gutfeld said that the media were emotionally manipulating viewers with footage from the conflict "...because that makes a profit for news companies.
"[31][32] Gutfeld was rebuked by Fox News foreign affairs correspondent Benjamin Hall who was on the ground in Kyiv: "This is not the media trying to drum up some emotional response.
[33] During the July 24, 2023, broadcast of The Five, Gutfeld and co-host Jessica Tarlov discussed an educational curriculum in Florida public schools that would teach students that "slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit".
Gutfeld then invoked Viktor Frankl's book Man's Search For Meaning, implying that those who survived the Holocaust had to be skilled or useful.
"[35] The same day, Andrew Bates, deputy White House press secretary, called Gutfeld's comments "a horrid, dangerous, extreme lie that insults the memory of the millions of Americans who suffered from the evil of enslavement".
[7][38][16] On December 10, 2024, on the Fox show The Five, it was announced that Gutfeld and his wife Elena had recently welcomed a baby girl into their family.
