You can tell that the progs who have monopolized late night comedy are scared out of their wits by the triumph of Gutfeld!, the Fox News competitor that has grabbed ratings leadership, despite a visibly smaller production budget and distribution lacking free broadcast TV stations. When it was announced that a promo video for the show would air during the Super Bowl, heads figuratively exploded. They know that exposing the show to the gigantic Super Bowl audience, many of whom had never heard of it, would inevitably drive sampling, and that some of the new viewers would stay with the show, further driving down their ratings.

I didn't see the ad because I didn't watch the Super Bowl., but from what I understand, Gutfeld's ad was about 15 seconds in length. I don't know how many people will remember a 15 second ad amongst all the Super Bowl commercials, but I guess it was worth a shot by Fox to try.

Greg is witty, astute, not afraid of being Politically Incorrect, and has on his show a diversity of intelligent people. It's fun to watch.

Yet again this is what comes of catering to the woke, or yourself. Everyone else watches something else.

Why do leftists ALWAYS think adding vulgarities make their point stronger? She says Greg makes fun of things she cares abt. Libs/dems have no sense of humor and cannot laugh at themselves. Why are THEY allowed to define "hate speech". I think "hate speech" includes the F word and the S word. Why do conservatives never get THEIR way?
The commercial was great.

Shillue should get an Emmy for his portrayal of Biden, but that’ll never happen

The King got what he wanted. His competitors are po'd and jealous of His Majesty. He should issue the command to take them to the Tower, rack 'em, draw hang and quarter them, and finally dispatch their heads and body parts to the four corners of America. Well done sire, well done.

As we say in the south, "Bless their hearts."
Nice funny spot. Did what an ad is supposed to do. Get you interested in buying (watching) the product. There are way too many folks that produce Super Bowl ads that forget that.

They really hate it when someone mocks their smug pronouncements. I love it! Go Gutfeld!

The NYT online runs a daily column featuring "highlights" of the late-night shows. They never include Gutfeld. I keep writing to ask, hey, what about the top-rated show, what happened on Gutfeld?
I never get a response.

Liz Winstead: He makes jokes about s h ! t that I care about, which is gross.
But it's ok when YOU make fun of what *I* care about, right?
Hypocrite.

The ad was too confusing.
I would have used one shot.
Begin with the clapper -- pull it out of the way.
There's Gutfeld on his throne, sign above him, with Tyrus on one side and Kat on the other, dog below him.
Tyrus: Oh, King of Late Night TV, your enemies bark. [Dog barks.]
Kat: Tell us your dumbest wish.
Gutfeld: I would like...
Director: Cut! These ads are expensive.

It was a short, clever, well-produced ad. In the past many have made a point of watching Super Bowl ads because they were usually new and amusing. I would guess that most of us are not the target demographic. I’d say it will work...

I mentioned to my husband that Gutfeld’s sort of goofy looking face helps a lot. With the crown and robe and all the trappings, that face outmadded King Geodrge. And Tyrus in chain mail? Too funny. My choice for favorite guest is Dagen MacDowell, super-smart and wickedly witty.

Didn't watch the Stupor Bowl. Relax: I won't get started.
But I have watched the Gutfeld spot twice and laughed each time.
Which is what you'd want a spot advertising for a comedy show to do, right?

Every time that Winstead tries to be funny, she just comes off as bitter.

I fully expect Greg to show up today on The Five in his Robes and wearing the Crown. Maybe have Tyrus at his side. You have to watch him for years to get his Humor. Sometimes It goes right over my Head or sometimes I laugh out loud that he had the nerve to say something that could get him fired! I think The Powers That Be at FOX give him a lot of Latitude when it comes to offending people! And sometimes Jesse or Dana will warn him he's about to cross the Line so he doesn't find himself out of a Job!

Ad was a hit. 1. Short to the point. 2. Get nut jobs talking about him and exposing him to their audience. Free advertising.

Gutfeld is so quick. Shoots his arrows and then moves on so quickly that some would say “did he say THAT?”
Fox won’t be firing him any time $oon...

I tune into Gutfeld occasionally (and NEVER to his competition in that time slot.) I usually have to wait a while to hear a good laugh, though. If he's tops in the ratings, good.
