I can't stand either of them. Watters, mostly because he's an untalented hack who looks like he would weep and throw a tantrum if the doorman of his apartment building didn't display proper deference to his arrival and departure, and Gutfeld comes off as a smug asshole begging to get a swirlie. I'm sure the Right feels the same about Colbert & Co., but whatever...those two guys are jerkoffs.
Is Nick Di Paolo still around? He was hella conservative but actually funny (i. e., a professional comedian with talent). And Colin Quinn? Same, plus he hosted Tough Crowd on Comedy Central way back when, which threw all kinds of stuff against the wall (ah, for the days of George W. Bush’s first term).
Colin's maybe a right-leaning independent, definitely not MAGA. Nick DiPaolo has a podcast, I haven't heard it but, yeah, he was a really good standup back in the day.
You know, it's really not hard. You put Joe Rogan up on late night. Voila, instant audience. He can interview people without giving them the questions ahead of time, like they used to do on late night. Put Danny DeVito on, other folks with the ability to improv "at least the answers to questions."
> Many of those people would be fine with comedy that reflects their views.
I won't deny that I used to enjoy the daily show political comedy back when I was right on the same page with Jon Stewart. But I learned how toxic and dangerous that is! It's fun in the moment but it is unhealthy, so now I regard it like my old cookie drawer habit.
Watters whole diatribe about Biden using a straw or eating ice cream is just more "Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain" especially when HE does it on a daily basis. Just once when he ambushed people for Bull O'Really I wish one of his victims would have just turned around with a baseball bat and started beating the tar out of him.
They aren’t. Most of us don’t watch any of that stuff. Pretty typical viewpoint this day from a sub stack writer which means Missing the whole point. Most people at the end of the day were looking for variety and had no problem with a few barbs being thrown there way. They were not looking for a lecture though.
making fun of gutfeld (not a viewer) does not make the other guys look any better it just shows that one is incapable of escaping the binary that has been imposed by our culture

You might very well think that but I couldn't possibly comment.
It's this kind of unfailing journalistic integrity that keeps me coming back.
Gutfeld is a Dennis Miller wannabe and about as funny as the post 9/11 Miller (in other words, amoebic dysentery).
The only logical choice for the next king of late night is Chris Wallace.
The funniest thing about Gutfeld is his name. Which is also an intestinal disorder.
Trump's still mad that Colbert's rightwing character on The Colbert Report was just a character.
Are you kidding? The pitch for Trump was Colbert 2.0.

I wouldn't call Colin Quinn "conservative," but rather an ornery contrarian (but talented!) who loves fucking with people of all stripes.

God: PRETEND to have read the article.
I tried man I tried. But I did fail.
Hey, give this a shot, it’s totally independent and funny as hell: https://nuisanceonlinedistributor.substack.com/p/a-republic-of-idiots-s1-e5
