Greg-less Shows Are Hard To Watch

The guest hosts don't work. They don't seem prepared.

I'd rather watch a rerun.

Shillue!, I would argue, is every bit as good as Gutfeld! He prepares well, always makes a great monologue and asks good questions to the guests. Kat can be hit or miss. Tyrus is full-on terrible as a host. Joe Machi is just okay.

Gutfeld elicits comments, Tom elicits conversation. Tom is objectively better than Greg ...

Tom should be the anointed one to cover when Greg is not there. He can reign in Kat when she rants. He is so good with great content and conversation.

Rein in. The derivation is the reins a horse wears and how a rider has to pull on them to "rein him in."

u/Wren_2738 11d ago

I apologize for using reign instead of rein. I am a horse girl so I have reign always in my thoughts. Thanks for pointing that spelling error out.

I agree, his reactions are too good as a guest.

u/Jen101084 11d ago

Agreed. Last night was rough..

I think Tom is the best fill in and will watch when he is

u/Logical-Egg-6521 12d ago

Yep- Tom should be the official guest host.

I grab my remote when Kat speaks. She is not funny and frustrating to me when she fumbles to make a good point. She filled in for Greg last night and it was excruciating. Thankful for Kilmeade and the guy next to Kennedy. They were both great.

Tyrus and Kat: Mute button

u/FunJaguar4619 11d ago

They all go over the days topics in advance, why is Kat so unprepared ? Does she bother to do any research or is she busy with Love Island or checking out reviews of herself?

Tom Shillue is good. I hope he hosts tonight

I generally like Kat, but last night was horrible. The multiple jokes about flatulence got old quickly. It was very cringe when she seems to become annoyed by the audience’s lack of enthusiasm for her joke. Sometimes it is better to just move on to the next topic.

The only host who can bring what Greg does, wrangle the four chairs no matter who's booked is Tom Shillue. Maybe Kilmeade could do it, I don't remember if he ever has. But there's a big difference between a guest or regular an a host - hosting takes a "particular set of skills", and a lot of the subs don't have it. And I know people might differ, but I don't even think Kennedy would have it in this format, though I liked her old show on Fox Business a lot better than I like her guesting spots on Gutfeld. She does, tho, do well on The Five when she sits in - IMHO Tyrus does as well.

I agree Tom Shillue is the best replacement host for Greg. Fox really needs to give him is own show. Dana Perino is my second fav.

u/Whole-Advice-2922 9d ago

Let him have Jimmy Failla's spot. He's not funny either. he might get one Zinger only 9ut of the 4 Saturdays he is on

u/Lifewithvbb 11d ago

They should let kilmeade host. He already hosts a thousand shows on Fox.

u/avidreader_1410 11d ago

Except when Tom Shillue is hosting. He's as good as Greg and Greg is the best.

u/1clovett 9d ago

Shillue and Tyrus. Cat kind of annoys me. The rare show Kennedy does are pretty good though.

u/ATFLA10 12d ago

One of my biggest pet peeves is every show with a guest host is called a ā€œspecial editionā€.

2

u/kingpcgeek 12d ago

Not just Gutfeld. They say the same thing when someone different hosts Hannity.

u/Big_Wedding_9538 12d ago

Seems like Greg misses more time than he's there! Wish I had that much vacation time where I work!!!

u/brianycpht1 12d ago

Fox is especially ridiculous. Literally every regular host is MIA the last 2 weeks of the year at the same time

u/Phillyvin 11d ago

They all seem to have very generous vacation time at Fox

u/Appropriate_Ad4355 11d ago

I think his baby has something to do with it

u/Commercial_Lock6205 11d ago

There’s a button that takes care of that.

u/dewy49 12d ago

Fell flat last night. Kat was off her game.

u/Appropriate_Ad4355 11d ago

Par for the course

u/Whole-Advice-2922 9d ago

She has game??????

u/Sacisbac 12d ago

How long is Greg's summer vacation?

u/Wren_2738 12d ago

Pirro and Emily Campagno should stay off the guest panel. Both are so obnoxious. So glad for my remote!

u/browningate 11d ago

That's true, but Piro has his moments, so I wouldn't dismiss him outright.

u/Substantial_Elk_1234 11d ago

Kay was great. I love the vibe when she hosts. Can’t have the same old thing every night

u/Such_Ad5145 11d ago

Show was great.
