OPINION: greggutfeld: This is why 'woke comedy' cannot be funny
Greg Gutfeld and his guests slam the report that CNN is looking to add a comedian into its primetime rotation on 'Gutfeld!'Happy Tuesday everyone. Turns out thanks to the smashing success of this show, which happened because of our awesome fans and my razor wit and my washboard abs. Other networks now want a hit comedy show of their own, according to the news site Semafor, CNN is reportedly considering hiring a comedian to host one of its primetime shows. Makes sense.
But isn't that the point, really? CNN was already funny and they went ahead and they ruined it. I'm talking, of course, about the golden age of comedy. Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, Brian Stelter. Or as they're known in the business, the Three Stooges. Those were the days, right? The only thing that could have made that funnier is him bursting into flames after he said it. I'll never get tired of that. And who can forget this?Looking ahead to 2020, one reason why I'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news.
Take the late, great Norm MacDonald. After O.J. Simpson's acquittal in '95, he said,"Well, it's official, it's finally official. Murder is legal in the state of California." The audience roared because they knew it was true, but they also laughed because Norm was saying something you got the feeling he wasn't supposed to say. Rumors swirled that some execs at ABC didn't want him doing O.J. jokes. He was willing to break the rules to tell the truth.
