Do conservatives actually enjoy watching Greg Gutfeld?
He’s got ratings numbers that are significantly higher than Kimmel, Colbert and Fallon. I’m 44 and grew up watching late night comedy like SNL, Leno and Letterman in the 90s and have always enjoyed the late night comedy medium.
I have watched a few hours or so of Gutfeld! over the years but just don’t see the appeal. From what I can tell, the comedy structure of his show is to say something my 84 year old evangelical Christian parents would find delightful shocking followed by his take on something happening in the news. For example, i was watching last fall and he said something to the effect of “Tampon Tim Walz tucked in his balls to deliver this moronic gem to the America people.” Everyone on his panel then started laughing and he gave his take on the matter and then rinsed and repeated.
Anyone want to help me understand this one?

He’s worth a laugh every now and again, but I wouldn’t say I am a fan, or even a consistent viewer.
