Fox News’ much-mocked new ‘comedy show’ Gutfeld! replaced by news

Less than two weeks in, Fox News’ only comedy show got booted off by the news.

Conservative comedian Greg Gutfeld’s late-night show, Gutfeld!, premiered just last Tuesday, but exactly a week later it was unceremoniously pushed off by coverage of the continuing Daunte Wright protests.

“This isFox News @ Night’s breaking coverage of the third night of unrest in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota,” news anchor Shannon Bream suddenly announced at 11pm, when Gutfeld’s show was supposed to start. “Gutfeld! will be back tomorrow.”

Observers on Twitter quickly mocked the change of programming.

“Only half a Scaramucci after its debut, Gutfeld! is abruptly preempted,” tweeted Vox reporter Aaron Rupar. He was referring to Anthony Scaramucci, the Trump communications director who famously lasted less than two weeks on the job.
