How Greg Gutfeld could improve Fox News' Gutfeld!

Vulture

"Look, comedy’s a tough business," says Kathryn VanArendonk in offering some "sincere suggestions" for Gutfeld's new late-night show. So she offers 10 suggestions, including laying off the roasting of other TV personalities: "Have more fun with it!" she says. "I’m not a big Gut-head, but it’s a little off-putting to see a late-night host offer himself up for such a thorough roasting from his fellow network hosts on the first night. Roasts are fun, but I worry that your seeming delight in offering yourself up to get so thoroughly criticized by your peers suggests a deep, buried self-loathing that you haven’t really examined. That kind of thing can be great fuel for comedy, don’t get me wrong, but it’s something you have to balance carefully so you come away looking coolly self-deprecating rather than sad. Just some food for thought." ALSO: Gutfeld! premieres to 1.69 million, beating its 11 p.m. ET cable news rivals.
