In an extremely funny broadcast of his hit Fox News Channel show, “Gutfeld!,” on the evening of Friday, November 22, FNC’s Greg Gutfeld reveled in the woes of rival station MSNBC. Particularly, he joked about what the network ought to be known for now that Comcast is offloading it, and roasted Rachel Maddow over her steep pay cut.
Beginning with a joke about what the network name really stands for with Comcast offloading it, a network name that is really a combination of Microsoft (MS) and NBCUniversal (NBC), Gutfled said. “These days, MSNBC has come to stand for ‘must sell network before Christmas.’”
Continuing, he commented on the steep ratings decline seen at MSNBC since the election, a ratings decline that has particularly walloped shows like “Morning Joe.” He said, cracking jokes while noting the steep decline, “Their post-election ratings are down 54 percent, that’s 50% more than my body fat, Walter. Hell, Brit Hume’s laxative reviews on YouTube have more viewers.” He added, further mocking the network, “And so they have slashed their budgets so low, Joy Reid had to replace her toupe to pay with a cocktail napkin.”
Then, noting a horrific headline used by the channel’s website, Gutfeld said, “But don’t feel bad! Check out this headline that their website dropped today. Quote, ‘Laken Riley’s killer never stood a chance.’ Now that can’t be an accident. If you ask me, it’s suicide by headline. What better way to kill off the rest of the network than to drop one of the most repulsive headlines of all time. MSNBC did finally change it, but the damage was already done.”
Roasting the embattled Morning Joe program specifically, Gutfeld went on to joke, “Mika and Joe were circling the drain with Morning Joe’s already low ratings of dropping another 15%. They’re losing people as fast as The View loses toes. The public wants Scarborough’s opinions about as much as his music.”
Gutfeld also commented on the hysteria that the woke media has whipped its viewers into with constant wild rhetoric about Trump, saying, “Everybody is scared! They’re so scared! They’re so scared! She made sure everyone knew that. Yes people were frightened, but who made them so scared? You, you diptshit. You convinced your audience that Trump wanted to destroy democracy and kill women.”
Noting the obvious hypocrisy of such people who pushed that message, namely the Morning Joe hosts that met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Gutfeld added, “If you really believe the stuff you actually said, you’d be fleeing the country, not groveling on Mar-a-Lago. The fact is your viewers revile you because your motivations were exposed. The fear-mongering was strictly business.”
Then, noting that the Morning Joe co-hosts had said Trump was the height of evil before going to meet with him, Gutfeld said, “And now that your job is in jeopardy, the fear-mongering has gone away. You went telling them Trump is evil to that Tump is not so bad. Is like your spouse telling you how much she hates her boss before running off with him to Jamaica.”
Ending by commenting on Rachel Maddow’s pay cut, Gutfeld said, “Meanwhile, a salary has been slashed by $5 million a year. It sounds like a lot except she was making $30 million a year for one show a week. So if she does 50 shows a year, her pay went from $600,000 an episode to $500,000. That is like five dollars per viewer. But one MSNBC executive justifies it, calling Maddow, ‘ratings Viagra.’ I’m sorry, she couldn’t even give Chris Matthews a semi. And he’s a horny little devil! So what’s next for MSNBC? They will try to redefine themselves as a start up. But that is impossible because the product is nothing new and it is hopelessly contaminated. It is radioactive.”
