If true, it’s as misleading as when they say a right leaning “news”/entertainment station has higher ratings. That’s because the entire rest of the audience is split between several options.

I don’t put much thought in Gutfeld’s opinions….IMO….he is one of the most unfunny ”comedians” I have ever heard

I’m not a fan of political comedians with one exception and that’s only because of the research staff and entire production.
well it is questionable if he is even a comedian

I wonder if political comedy is another casualty of turning into a grumpy old man? 20 years ago I loved the Daily Show with John Stewart, now I find it unwatchable, ironically I used to loathe Bill Maher and now find him enjoyable. I think I just relate to his grumpier side now, and I like that he dishes on both sides.
Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Jillian Michael’s on YouTube, I love that she has dissenting opinions on and looks for common ground, while still passionately arguing her point of view.
I think most mainstream media has lost that 2 sided dialog in favor of catering to one side.

So what do you think will make more money? Live action Snow White or Live action Moana. Also will there be a live action Moana 2? Maybe they can sell them on duel blu-ray packs. You can watch the animated or live action version of the same movie. Maybe switch between them on demand. Split screen them?

If I could like this twice I would. Back when these shows were still funny, both sides were fair game. Now it's just mostly unwatchable.

I think Moana being a hit is as safe a bet as you can make, I also think it’s a fairly safe bet SW is going to struggle to even break even. Not even a question to me which one’s going to make more, I think Moana will double, or possibly even triple, the SW box office

Moana will be more successful.

The highest rated late night talk show in America. What Johnny Carson was to the 1970's and 80's, Gutfeld is to the 2020's.

If Gutfeld is making fun of Rachel Zegler and the upcoming Snow White movie, that's not good news for audience demographics.
To be accurate, Gutfeld has more Democrats watching him than watch left-identified shows like Disney-ABC's Kimmel.
Fox’s Gutfeld Outpacing Late Night Competition with Independents AND Democrats, Nielsen Data Shows
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld has more Democrats watching him than late night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel, according to data from Nielsen MRI Fusion.
www.mediaite.com
And to be accurate to Fox News, their very high ratings outpace all the other cable news stations combined. That was true even before the post-election collapse in ratings for CNN and MSNBC. The latest Nielsen ratings per network;
Primetime 8-11pm Weekdays Current Viewership
Fox News = 3.0 Million total viewers, 501,000 in the 25-54 age demo
MSNBC = 684,000 total viewers, 67,000 in the 25-54 age demo
CNN = 464,000 total viewers, 120,000 in the 25-54 age demo
So, even when you combine both MSNBC and CNN's viewership in weeknight primetime, it's still less than half of Fox News.
Fox News = 3.0 Million total viewers, 501,000 in the 25-54 age demo
MSNBC+CNN = 1.148 Million total viewers, 187,000 in the 25-54 age demo
Last week's ratings "in the demo" of viewers under age 55 that advertisers chase after was another example of how multiple news networks combined can't even reach half of the Fox viewership. It's just a blowout.
Which is probably why CNN is about to lay off hundreds of staffers and on-air talent, and MSNBC is being auctioned off to the highest bidder by Comcast. Both those networks have lost huge amounts of money and viewers the past few years.

I personally think that any channel that masquerades as news but is merely a political mouthpiece should be avoided, regardless of which side of the ideological spectrum it falls on. There are far higher-quality sources of information and entertainment out there.If Gutfeld is making fun of Rachel Zegler and the upcoming Snow White movie, that's not good news for audience demographics.

The discussion on Gutfeld and Fox's giant ratings were brought up because some here were being factually incorrect; stating that the ratings of CNN and MSNBC somehow equaled Fox News' ratings, when the reality is that Fox beats both of them combined by a mile.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-viewership-crushes-msnbc-cnn-october
Similarly, the ratings for Gutfeld put him as the highest rated late night talk show in the country. And he also beats everyone in the prime 25 to 54 age range, the exact demo of parents that would buy tickets to a Disney movie for their kids. So that's not a show you want to have dissing your latest mega-budget tentpole movie before it opens in theaters.
The problem here beyond that Snow White angle is that there is no Johnny Carson any more. Carson was a California liberal, I'm sure, but you never knew it. I was a huge fan of Letterman in the 80's, and he is very liberal, but back then he never did political humor. He just did funny humor that everyone could laugh along with. Larry Bud Melman at the Port Authority bus terminal with a tray of hot towels was American Comedy Gold. I long for a return to the likes of Carson and Letterman, but for now Gutfeld and his guests can be very entertaining.
Fast forward to today, and you've got Disney's own Jimmy Kimmel going on national television the day after the election and crying to the cameras. Seriously? I found that to be hysterically funny in a pathetic sort of way, but I'm sure comedy wasn't Mr. Kimmel's intention with that segment.
Jimmy Kimmel Literally Cries Over Trump Win, Suggests Trump Voters Are Stupid
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel literally cried on Wednesday over Donald Trump winning the 2024 election, claiming it was a “terrible day” for all Americans, even for those who voted for Trump. Kimmel, along with other late-night hosts, is an ardent anti-Trumper who routinely mocks the former, and...
