Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, what
- 0:02Speaker 1: do you think about Greg Guttfeld going on Jimmy Fallon tomorrow?
- 0:05Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And Jordius now our American mama Terry Neederville. So Greg Guttfeld,
- 0:24Speaker 1: the king of conservative late night, is going on to
- 0:28Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon's show, the Tonight Show over on NBC, the
- 0:31Speaker 1: historic legendary Tonight Show, dating all the way back to
- 0:35Speaker 1: actually Jack Parr back in the day, Steve Allen as well.
- 0:40Speaker 1: So in recent years Late Night has become very leftist.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Even Jimmy Fallon's show has been a leftist show. You
- 0:47Speaker 1: got Greg Guttfeld starting to beat them in the ratings,
- 0:51Speaker 1: and now just after Stephen Colbert has taken off the
- 0:54Speaker 1: air exactly, Greg Guttfeld's going on Jimmy Fallon.
- 0:57Speaker 4: What do you think about all this?
- 0:59Speaker 3: Well, first and foremost, I think this is NBC's attempt
- 1:02Speaker 3: to broaden their audience after the firing of Cobert. I
- 1:05Speaker 3: mean that seems pretty obvious to me. But this, this crossover,
- 1:09Speaker 3: h this is happening Thursday Night with these two late
- 1:13Speaker 3: Night titans from complete opposite sides of the political isle
- 1:17Speaker 3: is remarkable in today's comments.
- 1:19Speaker 1: You know, one of the last politicians of any stripe
- 1:22Speaker 1: that Jimmy Fallon had on his show was Donald Trump,
- 1:24Speaker 1: yes back in twenty sixteen, and he ruffled Donald Trump's
- 1:28Speaker 1: hair and people then wanted to set Jimmy Fallon's hair
- 1:31Speaker 1: on fire.
- 1:33Speaker 3: See that's what happened. Jimmy Fallon, I will say, out
- 1:37Speaker 3: of all the late night comedian hosts, he was the
- 1:40Speaker 3: one that I would actually tune into because he wasn't political.
- 1:43Speaker 3: He wouldn't go there. He would do kind of like
- 1:45Speaker 3: the Johnny Carson thing at first, not as good as
- 1:48Speaker 3: Johnny Carson, but you knew he lean left, but he
- 1:50Speaker 3: kind of was fair about it. He was the only
- 1:52Speaker 3: one that had Trump on and he did the tussling
- 1:55Speaker 3: of the hair, you know, because make it fun. And
- 1:57Speaker 3: if we know one thing Trump can make fun of himself.
- 2:02Speaker 3: He really is great about that. But the left said,
- 2:05Speaker 3: I mean, how dare you humanize him? Yeah?
- 2:08Speaker 4: Exactly, Donald Trump is a human, that's right.
- 2:11Speaker 3: So they were furious because it made Trump look good.
- 2:15Speaker 3: So what happened after that was Jimmy Fallon fell in
- 2:18Speaker 3: line with Cobert and Jimmy Kimmel and began bashing Trump,
- 2:23Speaker 3: bashing those of us who voted for him, So then
- 2:26Speaker 3: you lose that. And the thing that I loved about
- 2:28Speaker 3: Fallin he just seems like a genuinely kind soul.
- 2:32Speaker 4: And a fanboy.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Yeah, like he's That's one of things I like about
- 2:35Speaker 1: him is that basically everybody that comes on his show
- 2:37Speaker 1: he's a So it's like you're a fan by proxy,
- 2:40Speaker 1: Like if you could interview, you know, Jerry Seinfeld, if
- 2:45Speaker 1: you could interview Lady Gaga, how would you do it?
- 2:48Speaker 4: And it's kind of like Jimmy Fallon. He gets to
- 2:51Speaker 4: play games at genuine and I do think his writers.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Are are leftists, more leftist than he is. Is that
- 2:56Speaker 1: a fair or am I just? No?
- 2:58Speaker 3: I think you're right. But also we all know that
- 3:00Speaker 3: he is left leaning. Yeah, and he probably vote only
- 3:04Speaker 3: votes Democrat for presidents and everything, and I'm fine with that.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I don't care who you vote for. That's fine. But
- 3:10Speaker 3: when you only have kind of like the view in
- 3:12Speaker 3: the last from January to July, they only had they
- 3:15Speaker 3: had one hundred and three left leaning guests in zero conservative,
- 3:18Speaker 3: and when you.
- 3:19Speaker 4: Yeah, and no elected concern right, right?
- 3:22Speaker 3: Well, and if you go back further. I remember when
- 3:25Speaker 3: Denise and I would talk about how the left leaning
- 3:29Speaker 3: shows like The View and the Tonight shows they would
- 3:32Speaker 3: have they would have leaders on there. But their questioning
- 3:36Speaker 3: style was very different with the Obamas than it was
- 3:39Speaker 3: with Mike. I mean with McCain or Sarah Palin and
- 3:42Speaker 3: all of them. It was like very aggressive with the concern.
- 3:46Speaker 3: So you kind of knew that they were trying to
- 3:48Speaker 3: formulate this narrative.
- 3:50Speaker 4: Right. They'd ask, you know, Barack Obama, how good.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Are you would?
- 3:53Speaker 3: How was date night? How what do y'all do for
- 3:54Speaker 3: date night? And then they wanted to know that they
- 3:57Speaker 3: wanted to ask McCain about abortion, right, you know that kind
- 4:00Speaker 3: of thing exactly.
- 4:00Speaker 4: But here's the other thing.
- 4:02Speaker 3: So roland Stone and I think this is why there's
- 4:04Speaker 3: like a like a little brotherhood between Greg and Jimmy.
- 4:10Speaker 3: About a year ago, I don't know if y'all remember this,
- 4:12Speaker 3: but roland Stone wrote a scathing interview saying that Jimmy
- 4:16Speaker 3: found anonymous sources told them, you know how I feel
- 4:19Speaker 3: about anonymous sources. Can stand that because you can make
- 4:22Speaker 3: up anything and say anonymously anyway. They said he had
- 4:26Speaker 3: a toxic work environment. Well, that came out. People were
- 4:30Speaker 3: trying to cancel him, and they were trying to what
- 4:32Speaker 3: Greg said, Ellen degenerous him. And so Jimmy came out
- 4:36Speaker 3: and he apologized publicly. I want to apologize to my
- 4:39Speaker 3: staff if you felt unsafe or if I did anything. Well,
- 4:44Speaker 3: of all people, Greg Guttfield was the Gutfeld was the
- 4:47Speaker 3: only one out of all the late night show hosts
- 4:51Speaker 3: that god on his show and defended him. He could
- 4:54Speaker 3: he could have kicked the horse when the horse, sure,
- 4:57Speaker 3: I mean he could have. This could have been his moment.
- 5:00Speaker 3: But instead he said, do not apologize, do not give
- 5:04Speaker 3: into do not apologize to these anonymous sources. You're better
- 5:08Speaker 3: than that. He went on to say what a genuine
- 5:10Speaker 3: hearted person he was and he actually knows humor. And
- 5:14Speaker 3: I think we all kind of gather that from Jimmy Fallon.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Yeah don't. I don't see Jimmy as a toxic person.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I doubt, yeah, in any kind of there's some comedians
- 5:22Speaker 1: they're funny and you're like, you know, I could see
- 5:24Speaker 1: behind the scenes, maybe they are toxic. Jimmy Fallon is
- 5:27Speaker 1: not one of those people.
- 5:28Speaker 3: And also I think that he should have gone in
- 5:31Speaker 3: the early early days. He did not want to go political.
- 5:35Speaker 3: He didn't his staff, did they management. Now I wonder
- 5:40Speaker 3: if he's saying, told y'all, yeah, told you.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Well, he just signed a new contract through twenty twenty eight.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Well, I think having Greg on on Thursday night is
- 5:50Speaker 3: really going to do something special. I think, I hope.
