Gutfeld !, which debuted on April 5, is driven by longtime television personality and Fox News host, who previously threw some scathing criticism at his comic competitors.
“If you can’t distinguish the other nightly shows, join the club,” Gutfeld said when he announced the launch of his program on weekdays.
They are as soft as soft cheese and not as appetizing. They are the same jokes, the same assumptions, probably the same writers, who read all the same columns of the same hacks in the New York Times.
In Tuesday night’s monologue, Gutfeld fired jokes about the Taliban’s promise to take a softer approach to Afghans.
“They are not an enlightened group,” he said of the Taliban. ‘Not only are they not just trapped in the dark times. They prefer everyone else to join them.
Her idea of women’s rights is to let her issue her burka once a year. However, the press has told us that he is a “kinder and kinder Taliban.” What does it mean? Are you only partially beheaded? Do they just throw gays out of an eight-story window, not a 12-story one?
Among her guests were former Navy SEAL Rob SEN, Townhall.com political editor Guy Benson, Fox News contributor Kat Timpf, and the Washington Times opinion editor. Charlie Hurd, who Gutfeld said “has been a guest more often than Hunter Biden in a crack pipe.”

Colbert’s Tuesday night episode featured actress Amanda Peet, podcaster Roger Bennett and CNN journalist Clarissa Ward.
The veteran comedian began his sketch by saying that U.S. troops have restored order inside Kabul airport, which has allowed evacuation flights to resume.
“When they end up there, we might get them to restore order at our airports,” Colbert said, “because there’s a guy here, wrapped in the seat on the bus, screaming about how the masks contaminate his sperm.”
