- October 11, 2015
The Greg Gutfeld Show is a weekly political talk show that airs on Fox News Channel on Saturday nights. The show is hosted by Greg Gutfeld, a conservative commentator known for his quick wit and irreverent sense of humor. Each episode features a panel of guests from different political perspectives who provide commentary and debate on the biggest news stories of the week.
In Season 1, Episode 14, Greg Gutfeld is joined by a panel of guests including Fox News contributors Emily Compagno and Tyrus, comedian Joe DeVito, and conservative radio host Rob Taub. The episode opens with a segment called "Greg's True Crime Report," in which Gutfeld discusses some recent news stories about bizarre crimes and criminal behavior. He then leads a discussion on the topic of cancel culture, specifically the recent controversy surrounding the Dr. Seuss books being pulled from publication due to racist imagery.
The panel debates the question of whether cancel culture is a real phenomenon or simply a right-wing talking point. Compagno argues that the rise of cancel culture represents a danger to free speech and a healthy public discourse, while Taub suggests that the real problem is not cancel culture itself, but the lack of thoughtfulness and nuance in public debate. DeVito brings a comedic perspective to the conversation, jokingly suggesting that the solution to cancel culture is to simply cancel everything.
The second segment of the show is called "The World is a Terrible Place: Fact or Fiction?" In this segment, Gutfeld presents a series of news stories that highlight some of the worst aspects of human behavior, from a man who used his mother's headstone to build a floor for his backyard shed to a woman who allegedly killed her husband over disputes over a rooster. The panel responds with their own reactions and commentary on what these stories say about the state of humanity.
Later in the show, Gutfeld discusses the phenomenon of "fake news" and the role of the media in shaping public opinion. The panelists debate the question of whether the media has a responsibility to be neutral and objective in their reporting, or whether it's acceptable for journalists to express their own opinions and biases. Tyrus takes a controversial position, arguing that reporters shouldn't pretend to be neutral when they clearly have biases, while Taub suggests that a healthy media ecosystem requires a range of viewpoints and perspectives.
Throughout the episode, Gutfeld injects his signature humor and wit into the conversation, often making quips and puns that elicit laughter from the panelists and studio audience. The show also includes segments like "Farts of the Country," in which Gutfeld shares humorous news stories from around the United States, and "The One More Thing" segment, in which each panelist gets a chance to share one final thought on the week's news. Overall, Season 1, Episode 14 of The Greg Gutfeld Show is a lively and entertaining discussion of some of the most pressing political and social issues facing the United States today.
