You knew it was coming.
“The Tonight Present” is attempting one thing new – extending an olive department to the half of the nation it wrote off in 2017.
Cue the wailing and gnashing of enamel.
Jimmy Fallon’s low-rated showcase, as liberal as any late-night present within the Trump period however much less merciless, will host Fox Information’ Greg Gutfeld on Thursday. In a sane world, that’s hardly noteworthy.
Fox’s Greg Gutfeld praises “nice man” Jimmy Fallon, trashes different late evening hosts forward of Tonight Present look.

Gutfeld is humorous and quick-witted, and his attraction extends to an viewers that way back fled Fallon’s “Tonight Present.”
Conservatives.
Why not invite the “Gutfeld!” host on for a humorous chat? And, whereas they’re at it, they could deliver just a few viewers again into the fold. Or, on the very least, ship the message that Fallon really needs Pink State America to tune in.
It’s so loopy it simply may work … for an evening. And, whenever you constantly path within the scores behind “The Late Present,” “Jimmy Kimmel Dwell!” and “Gutfeld!” as Fallon does, the whole lot is on the desk.
Yesterday, Fox Information’ Lara Trump interviewed progressive star Charlamagne tha God on her present. Guess what occurred subsequent? Zero outrage from the Proper.
And that’s the way it ought to be. Let everybody have a voice, and the very best concepts will win.
But Gutfeld hinted there might be blowback for Fallon by chatting with a right-leaning persona. And he was proper.
The Mary Sue raged in opposition to the choice, courtesy of an op-ed entitled, “So Jimmy Fallon has realized nothing then?”
In the course of the 2016 election, one of many greatest “promotional” points with Donald Trump’s marketing campaign got here right down to Jimmy Fallon treating Donald Trump like a human on his present as an alternative of holding him accountable. Now, he’s planning on doing the identical with Greg Gutfeld.
One particular person is the chief of the free world. The opposite is a wise-cracking comedian who leans to the Proper. They’re each monsters, alas, to Mary Sue scribes.
You may virtually see the splittle flying off the pc display screen with this paragraph:
Like, can somebody at NBC clarify this to me like I’m 4? As a result of there is no such thing as a cause why this could occur until Fallon needs a number of the MAGA viewers that Gutfeld has. If that’s the case, say it. Open your mouth and say you need the right-wing viewership of Gutfeld! so then we will all cease pretending such as you’re some left-leaning host.
Cracked.com, a humor website online that helps the Left’s censorial mindset, piled on subsequent.
Effectively, Jimmy Fallon’s shtick on standing as much as Trump lasted precisely 4 seconds. It appears the host is taking perpetual playing addict Jay Leno’s neutrality recommendation, which was “Why shoot for simply half an viewers on a regular basis?”
It will get extra emotional.
Fallon could be attempting to make use of Gutfeld for a scores enhance, however Gutfeld is utilizing him extra. We’re all the more serious for it.
We’re all the more serious for a late-night present having a chat with a conservative? Bravo, Cracked … you may simply save the nation.
After which there’s Pajiba. The positioning opens its story on the topic like a Each day Kos-rejected essay. See for your self.
Greg Gutfeld has no respect for the late-night scene. He’s a partisan hack who fancies himself a mischievous little boy as a result of he likes to spout slurs and say imply issues whereas he struggles to discover a chair sufficiently small for him. The tiny little man lately reveled in delight as he claimed white individuals ought to begin flippantly calling one another members of a infamous fascist ideology (advert gross sales, y’all) the identical approach, in his little thoughts, that African Individuals use the N-word. He sucks! He’s a foul dude! And Jimmy Fallon is about to present him a highlight!
You already know it’s critical as a result of the writer is utilizing exclamation factors and private assaults. Extra outrage might observe as Thursday’s “Tonight Present” episode attracts close to.
We’ll see.

After which there’s Invoice Maher. The “Actual Time with Invoice Maher” host has spent years selling progressive causes, very like Fallon, Stephen Colbert and firm. Maher additionally sits down with right-leaning souls like David Mamet, Child Rock and Dave Rubin. They comply with disagree, discover some widespread floor and stroll away smiling.
That’s regular and wholesome.
At this time’s excessive Left is neither. It needs to cancel individuals who don’t share their views and hold members of the family at arm’s size in the event that they vote the “unsuitable” approach.
It might not matter what satisfied Fallon to interview Gutfeld, It’s the suitable transfer. And people presently melting down ought to take a protracted, onerous take a look at themselves within the mirror for arguing.
