    Obama Is Greg Gutfeld's Perfect Woman

    Greg Gutfeld, host of Red Eye, the 3 a.m. Fox News show you have never seen, wore out his faux-meathead wingnut schtick around the same time he stopped regularly doing crunches. He purposely poses as a wiseass ignorant bastard (which is fine!), so we're not upset that his latest column explores how Obama is like "a really hot chick." We just chalk it up to homoeroticism. But we have to object to his opening line, "So yesterday, during an ideas meeting..."; Greg, you know don't have "ideas" meetings. More »

    'Red Eye': Just the Gay Jokes

    This is what we meant the other day when we said we just didn't find Greg Gutfeld funny. Gawker video superfriends Richard Blakeley and Morgan Miller combed through a week's worth of episodes of Gutfeld's 3 a.m. laff riot Red Eye and edited it down to only the gay jokes. There are many. Many, many jokes about how funny it would be if Greg, who enjoys sleeping with women, were a homosexual. See? You are laughing already. Boys talking about kissing boys! Comedy gold! Sigh.

    Greg Gutfeld: Why?

    Not long ago, a media reporter asked your day editor if he seriously doesn't like Greg Gutfeld. Because surely it's an act, all this mocking him! We send attention his way, he responds with an amusing attack on our commenters, we trash him again, everyone goes home to cash their tax refund checks and buy some $10 cigarettes. But the truth is, no, I don't really like Greg Gutfeld. He's not funny. And his two-dimensional controversialist routine is tired. Regardless of how much either of them mean what they say, Colbert does a wittier Bill O'Reilly. Gutfeld is a mediocre Morning Zoo Shock Jock. He seemingly used to be funny—some of his HuffPo posts were truly inspired. But his show is terrible and his "noxious gay-baiting even though he's friends with plenty of homos" routine is, once again, done better by Ann Coulter. So when Greg says, as he did to MediaBistro recently, that Gawker only trashes him because he refused to write for us, well... More »

    Greg Gutfeld: Ready To Take Your 3 a.m. Calls

    Fox News's 3 a.m. time-slot filler Greg Gutfeld has an interview with TVNewser coming up that is sure to be chock-full of quotable lines. Like Gutfeld calling his show Red Eye "the most subversive, surreal piece of programming ever to be on TV." You, sir, have apparently never caught Unbeatable Banzuke. Greg will also take on HuffPo, Gawker, the magazine industry, and "politically correct media." We're sure he has very SHOCKING and CONTROVERSIAL opinions on all of those things. Cutest part of the interview excerpt posted so far is when Greg says Fox pushed him from the semi-reasonable 2 a.m. slot to the desolate 3 a.m. slot because the network needed "more political coverage." We're all big fans of Fox News's award-winning 2 a.m. election updates! [TVNewser]

    The Night Greg Gutfeld Lost His Date

    I'd hoped to leave Greg Gutfeld out of this story about partner-swapping by men's magazine veterans. But then the belligerent gay-baiting (and often funny) host of Fox News' late-night Red Eye, a Bill O'Reilly in training, decided to pick a fight with Gawker's commenters. Controversialist Gutfeld, fired from Stuff and Maxim's UK edition before he became host of the faltering Red Eye, wants an attention-grabbing mudfight. This website exists for no more noble purpose. So, here's the story of Gutfeld's disastrous double date with a fellow editor. (The video clip, of Gutfeld defending sex with hookers, is merely for illustration.) More »

    Gawker Commenters Made Greg Gutfeld, Hercules Cry

    So we wrote about former White House press secretary Tony Snow's poor health the other day. And some commenters said some dickish things. That upset staunch defender of morality, public decency, and polite discourse Greg Gutfeld, who hosts a show on Fox News at 3 a.m.. So instead of his usual "aren't gay people so gay" commentary, he used his "Greg-alogue" to attack "Gawker's faceless commenters who take ghoulish glee in Snow's health." Greg Gutfeld, you see, would really like us to write about him, again, and he'd like you guys to comment on it, so that he can talk about it again so we run another clip and so forth until the plague comes. (It's the only way for him to create a false sense of power and achievement that's missing in his marginal life.) Then they ask Kevin Sorbo if he ever goes online to see what people write about him. Has anyone ever written anything about Kevin Sorbo on the internet? Until now? Maybe there was a particularly cruel Prodigy bulletin board post about him in 1996 or something, but he sure seems angry.

    Gay-Baiting, Porn Stars Will Save 'Red Eye'

    Greg Gutfeld hosts this crazy show on Fox News at 3 a.m. every night called Red Eye. Gutfeld, who we are pretty sure used to be funny, albeit in a winky fratty way, usually just tries to rile up and offend liberals while putting his friends on the air, but it's 3 a.m. so no one is watching to even get offended. The show's been on for more than a year now, which is alarming. In the attached clip, Gutfeld tries to start some sort of war of semantics with GLAAD over his coverage of the pregnant man story. He even says he NAILED THE MEDIA or something, it's all kind of sad. Not as sad as the press release we received from VIVID VIDEO, the porn company, announcing that one of their VIVID GIRLS is going to report on politics for Red Eye starting tomorrow night. Barrels across the nation shuddered in anticipation of a particularly nasty scraping. Press release after the jump. More »

    Julia Allison Banned From "Red Eye"

    Because the show is so loose, and because we have such a media-watchdog culture—they could get burned like that. Two words: Don. Imus. You don't know what's going to piss people off. And, my God, the shit that we get into—the sex, the bestiality—holy crap! I can't believe that shit is on Fox News!
    That, you may recall, was the quote Gawker celebrity Julia Allison gave George Gurley regarding "Red Eye" for his profile of Greg Gutfeld in today's Observer. Sadly, it seems the Gut isn't the kind of freewheeling, truth-handling party guy he's made himself out to be: We hear Julia's been banned from appearing on the show for the foreseeable future. Since Julia's still doing other Fox News programs, this one doesn't appear to have the fat fingers of Roger Ailes on the strings. (Reached for comment, Julia simply said, "I fucked up.") Sorry, Jules. But we're sure some other late night shit show with a "show up and you're miked up" guest policy will be on the air soon enough. CNBC's probably working on one right now!

    There's A Little Greg Gutfeld In All Of Us

    Will "Red Eye," the Fox News' over-the-counter late-night sleep aid, be a success?
    "Absolutely. But because the show is so loose, and because we have such a media-watchdog culture—they could get burned like that. Two words: Don. Imus. You don't know what's going to piss people off. And, my God, the shit that we get into—the sex, the bestiality—holy crap! I can't believe that shit is on Fox News!"
    That assessment comes from Time Out New York sex columnist and frequent "Red Eye" panelist Julia Allison in today's Observer profile about Greg Gutfeld, who hosts the deranged yakfest. It's a revealing piece (perhaps because it's written by George Gurley; it takes an asshole to understand an asshole!) that actually makes us a somewhat fond of the man. In fact, Greg seems oddly familiar. More »

    Keith Olbermann Can See Forever

    Never let it be said that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is myopic. The anchor of Countdown just sprung for a 4.2 million dollar condo at 200 E. 69th St, a hulking Trump tower, says the Observer. Whilst padding about in his Missioni housecoat through his five 40th-floor rooms, Olbermann will enjoy 360 degree views. The same can't be said for Fox News's late-night host Greg Gutfeld, who recently bought a coop in a tiny 5-story building on W. 49th Street for an infinitesimal fraction of the price of Olbermann's condo. But what his apartment lacks in size is made up for with convenience—News Corp is located just around the corner on 48th and 6th, close enough to stumble home from after another soul-crushing night of broadcasting to stoners. Take that, Olbermann! —Josh More »

    Dilation And NEGstraction: Partial Jokes

    We're a little bit on edge about today's Supreme Court decision upholding the ban on dilation and extraction—or, as it has become commonly known, partial-birth abortion—but we know that laughter is the only way to heal the hurt. Or at least, partial laughter. To that end, we looked to the Fox News Red Eye host and humanitarian Greg Gutfeld, whose look at the lighter side of abortion has given us so many chuckles over the years. Some of Greg's jokes needed a few tweaks for relevance, but we think you'll find yourself having a few yuks either way! Or not—it's your choice. For now. More »

    Fox's 'Red Eye' Can Keep Its Name, For Now

    Good news for folks who want to relax while they're coming down from the meth rush and have exhausted all other opportunities. A judge has denied Tribune's request for a preliminary injunction against "Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld," the 2 a.m. Fox News chat show where anyone can be a guest. (Seriously, just e-mail Gutfeld, he's totally up for it.) Tribune claims that the show's title is too close to the free tabloid the company distributes in Chicago, but a U.S. District judge dismissed the claim, noting that while the newspaper is written for mouth-breathers, the television program is aimed at imbeciles, and the groups are unlikely to confuse the two. However, the issue will still go to trial in August. Memo to Greg: Don't go tossing those "Let's Get Stalky With Rachel Marsden" title cards just yet. Also, my super wants me to tell you that he can't tape on Thursday, but any other night next week is fine. —balk More »

    Eulogy for Greg Gutfeld

    The NYT takes a look at Greg Gutfeld's tenure as editor of Stuff, and his abrupt departure earlier this week. Gutfeld contends that his bosses just didn't get his sense of humor. Gutfeld, who got kicked out of grade school for lighting firecrackers in class, continued with the pranks through most of his editorial career. Stuff featured public mockings of other magazines such as having then GQ editor Art Cooper's handwriting analyzed, responded to letters sent to Entertainment Weekly (an oldie but a goodie—SPY used to answer letters to the New Yorker), and running a "correction" that said, "In last month's issue of Esquire, we thought we read something pretty interesting; turns out, we were just staring at a wall." Gutfeld's off-the-page stunts were even better. He sent a group of dwarf actors to disrupt a magazine panel and wore a bearskin rug to a fashion show. I know Gutfeld's a pain in the ass, but I think Stuff is going to be incredibly boring now. Then again, if he's looking for things to do, we could always use another unpaid intern. More »

(Greg Gutfeld, if you remember, is the guy who hired midgets to disrupt a media panel a while back and had then-GQ editor Art Cooper's handwriting analyzed. He also made fun of other Dennis Publishing publications—Maxim in particular—which probably didn't go over too well with the boss.) From the pre-emptive press release that I can't find online: "[Gutfield will] be spending a great deal of time lounging in executive suites, swanky bars, swimming pools and yachts, fiddling with scripts and consulting his 'little black book.'"
