Greg Gutfeld's Fox News 'comedy' show only on for 'half a Scaramucci'

Conservatives are too stupid to do comedy. This show was worst than the Half Hour News Hour which is saying a great deal




Greg Gutfeld's new Fox News show was expanded briefly to weeknights but according to reporter Aaron Rupar, it disappeared Tuesday night. In Anthony Scaramucci time, that's just half a "Scaramucci," he remarked.



The former White House communications director spent just 11 days on the job. Former President Donald Trump was so infamous for his hiring and firing that Scaramucci became a unit of measure by which employment under Trump was calculated.

Gutfeld was preempted by former Trumpster Larry Kudlow, who infamously screamed at Dr. Anthony Fauci for disagreeing hydroxychloroquine was a cure for COVID-19. Fauci ultimately was proved right, and Kudlow got a Fox News show.

The show from Gutfeld was an attempt to craft humor over liberal policies or progressive statements, but it has frequently fallen flat with the audience.

Again, this show was not funny and is the second time that Fox News tried to launch a comedy show. The first attempt-The Half Hour News Hour was really bad

... the show didn't just feature people making fun of the disabled.

We already know how Republican voters laughed and laughed when Trump did it.

... he has been doing his comedy shtick forever... and he's never been funny. I thought Guttfold knew that, but you never know with these people.

Fox seems intent on repeating the same mistake. Conservatives are simply too stupid to be funny
