Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld | comment |
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld is Fox News Channel's successful comedy offering, a panel discussion show originally hosted by former Maxim UK Editor Greg Gutfeld, along with his "repulsive sidekick" Bill Schulz (who vanished without much of an explanation in November 2013), and ombudsman (now full-time panelist) "TV's" Andy Levy. It aired at 3:00 am ET Tuesday through Saturday. In February 2015, Greg left Red Eye to host The Greg Gutfeld Show. In June 2015, the position of permanent host was handed over to comedian Tom Shillue.The show hovered between News Parody and Faux News, and it's like The View if The View had a decidedly pro-Camp Gay bias. Dissimile and absurdist tangents abound. Vulgar Humor and double entendres are sprinkled throughout, especially when introductions are given. The show features panelists and guests discussing the latest news in politics, pop culture, entertainment, business, sports, and religion.Guests on the show are primarily composed of political pundits, stand-up comedians, musicians, authors, and attractive women, with most episodes containing one of each (and almost every episode featuring an attractive female panelist sitting in the chair at the far right of the table, affectionately referred to as the "Leg Chair"). Political opinions vary amongst the guests, with the show's original trio consisting of an oddly perfect balance: Greg's a conservative-leaning libertarian, Bill's a liberal, and Andy's a libertarian who hates both conservatives and liberals. The show takes pot-shots at everyone and everything under the sun, including Fox News itself. Despite its middle-of-the-night timeslot, the show had beaten many primetime cable news shows in the ratings, and developed a loyal cult following, making it arguably the only news program that can currently claim this status.The show was cancelled on April 3, 2017; in 2021, The Greg Gutfeld Show moved to weeknights as Gutfeld!, which is positioned as a conservative-leaning competitor to the major networks' late-night talk shows (in both format and scheduling). | |

Baseball Episode | |
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_235a2706 | comment |
Baseball Episode: Red Eye was challenged to a softball match by a strip club. Greg, Bill, Andy, Courtney Friel and Professor Marc Lamont Hill of Columbia University and the strippers divided up and faced off. As one might expect with Red Eye, the game was riddled with oddness and stupidity, from Bill's pathetic headfirst slide/stumble into home plate, Andy's observation that most of the strippers are from "Russia, which I think is somewhere in Africa", and Greg's "stripper injury." | |

Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_27c09b00 | comment |
Camp Straight: Bill Schulz is "very heterosexual," and there are "women who can confirm it (I just haven’t met any)." But his rather campy personal demeanor and the even more outrageous character he played on Red Eye earned him a devoted gay following that he remains reluctant to scare off with any too-sincere professions of heterosexuality. | |

Face Doodling: In a segment about practical jokes, Bill shared an incident in college where he was passed out drunk and his roommates wrote "I LOVE DICK" on his forehead. He received strange looks the next day and only found out why when his horrified mother saw the writing. Geno Bisconte followed up by asking "Was it weird that it was in your handwriting, Bill?". | |

This Just In!: Episodes would often open with Andy performing parodies of the networks overused "Fox News Alerts" by making up bizarre stories for random clips, such as claiming stock footage of two police cars chasing a semi was live footage of the Decpticons chasing Optimus Prime. As part of the show's Running Gag of baseless, random hatred of Belgium, clips would often feature alleged technological innovations by the country, including a redneck driving a motorized recliner was the king of Belgium driving his new throne. | |

Butt-Monkey: Bill is the most obvious, but all 3 of the Red Eye trio gets a turn. Bill is a Butt Monkey to Greg, who is often a Butt Monkey to Andy, who is in turn the target of jokes from both Greg AND Bill. Frequent guest Paul Mecurio takes the cake, however. When he's on, Greg and Andy can be just plain mean to the guy. According to Greg and Andy, when Jesse Joyce isn't working at one of his dozens of jobs at the mall and fondling his underage girl/boyfriends, he's buying his clothes at Hot Topic and impersonating Herman Munster. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Early episodes of the series were quite strange and felt completely unscripted, and the panelists themselves were rather odd as well. During an anniversary episode's flashback to a very early episode, Greg noted his "fat face," Andrew Breitbart's appearance, and Andy Levy's hairstyle and how he "looked like he belonged in an Oingo Boingo tribute band" as well as Bill Hemmer referring to past-Andy as "Mrs. Andy Levy." | |

Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_4fb23aa8 | comment |
People who know of Andrew Breitbart as the ardent conservative activist that he was would probably be surprised to see his appearances on Red Eye and find out he was very much this. One of his responses to a question was to regurgitate a colored ball. When asked a follow-up question, he dumped the rest of the balls on the table. He also engaged in other bizarre acts such as snorting powered wine off a mirror, inhaling helium, and asking Dr. Drew for help with his "friend's" "sexual mania." | |

Navel-Deep Neckline | |
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_692c48c4 | comment |
One of the most notorious instances of this is when Patty Ann Browne showed up in a very, very low-cut blue dress—read: Navel-Deep Neckline. During the intros, she playfully squirmed and made a show of trying to "close" the split—which Greg defied, laughing that "You just doubled our ratings, young lady! This led to an amusing (and probably unintentional) undertone when a story led to Patti explaining to the panel the three purposes of women's breasts. (In case you're wondering, they are: "Entice a man to sleep with you", "feed the babies that come from that", and eventually "prove Newton's Law of Gravity".) | |

Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_76e4fed3 | comment |
Rant Comedy: Once per episode in the Greg-alogue where Greg rants about a topic of his choosing, usually something that annoys him. Guests hosts have variants, including the Bill-a-Buster, Andy-gram, and "Reportin' Norton"(Jim Norton). Aside from this, certain guests have a tendency to go on long, bizarre rants, including Kevin Godlington and especially Greg Proops. | |

Boomerang Bigot: A story about global warming being racist sparks "black power" rants from both Andy during the Halftime Report and Bill during the Bill-a-buster, both labeling Greg a "white cracker devil." In reference to the various conspiracy theories about Jews being responsible for everything, Andy (who is Jewish) would occasionally read a book silently as Greg introduced him before Andy concluded "it was the Jews". These books ranged from Conspiracy Theories for Dummies to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He would also peddle his conspiracy theory pamphlets, titled "THE JOOS". | |

Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_87ede6fc | comment |
That Man Is Dead: Played with in the weirdest way possible. In mid-2013, a Running Gag at the beginning of the show started, involving Greg claiming Andy had met an untimely demise (in an extremely bizarre kind of way), and thus there'll be none of his usual segments. Cue Andy sitting at the table—only Greg introduces him as an alter ego (one occasion involves him being a Swedish athlete named Bjorn). Of course...for the rest of the episode, they all just drop the pretense and refer to Andy by his real name...and the address of his real Twitter-feed appears on screen under him (presumably to let new viewers in on the joke). They eventually dropped this, with Greg saying, "AND, filling in for TV's Andy Levy...IS TV'S ANDY LEVY! Yeah, I was getting tired of that, too...." | |

Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Greg. He's obsessed with unicorns, has a bizarre and twisted sense of humor, and is responsible for the majority of strange fake backstories for everyone. He tones back his weird persona when appearing on Fox's other shows, however, and is allegedly pretty normal in real life. People who know of Andrew Breitbart as the ardent conservative activist that he was would probably be surprised to see his appearances on Red Eye and find out he was very much this. One of his responses to a question was to regurgitate a colored ball. When asked a follow-up question, he dumped the rest of the balls on the table. He also engaged in other bizarre acts such as snorting powered wine off a mirror, inhaling helium, and asking Dr. Drew for help with his "friend's" "sexual mania." | |

Accentuate the Negative: During an interview with Adam Carolla, they discussed his ability to complain about anything, ranging from a Mcdonald's quarter-pounder to lesbians because "lesbians are great until you realize they want nothing to do with your penis" and "they don't all let you watch."

Ms. Fanservice: As a rule, when a youthful and attractive woman is on the panel, she will be this. The tendency to have at least one female panelist seated at the table where her legs are clearly visible in the wide shots is Played for Laughs with that seat being openly dubbed "The Leg Chair". One of the most notorious instances of this is when Patty Ann Browne showed up in a very, very low-cut blue dress—read: Navel-Deep Neckline. During the intros, she playfully squirmed and made a show of trying to "close" the split—which Greg defied, laughing that "You just doubled our ratings, young lady! This led to an amusing (and probably unintentional) undertone when a story led to Patti explaining to the panel the three purposes of women's breasts. (In case you're wondering, they are: "Entice a man to sleep with you", "feed the babies that come from that", and eventually "prove Newton's Law of Gravity".) Joanne Nosuchinsky being promoted to regular to replace Bill can at times ramp this trope up to eleven, considering the Running Gag of her joking air of hyper-flirtatiousness. | |

The show has recently started doing segments called "Only In Obama's America," which parody the special episodes of Sean Hannity's show, with a fake studio audience (sometimes even changing the Red Eye logo to Hannity's when showing the audience), and comically twisting the story being covered to somehow blame Obama for it. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Bill mysteriously vanished from the show in late 2013...and fell prey to this until Greg began an episode with a brief explanation that he "moved on." Everyone has been tight-lipped about it ever since, although Bill has hinted strongly on Twitter that he was fired. | |

Helium Speech | |

Helium Speech: At the start of one Halftime Report, Andy notes Andrew Breitbart "looks evil tonight". Cut to Breitbart inhaling helium from a balloon and Andy taking his comment back. | |

Insane Troll Logic | |
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: Greg falls back on this sometimes. For example, the panelists were confused by a story from the UK where a man was arrested but not yet charged(in the U.S., you must be arrested on charges). Greg concluded "this is why England lost World War I". | |

Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_c897249d | comment |
Comedic Sociopath: According to Greg's jokes about himself, he is a globetrotting serial killer and molester with a cadre of captured, underage male slaves he calls "House Boys" and keeps locked in his basement, occasionally letting them upstairs for ambiguously sexual amusement or forcing them to engage in disturbing "games" for their freedom. They're also implied to be captured immigrants, none of them able to speak English. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: For every Halloween episode, a bloody zombie named Rachel, from the Halloween attraction Blood Manor, will simply loiter on set menacingly while holding a large, bloody hammer. Her presence is never acknowledged until the end of the show (where she promotes Blood Manor). One year even saw her sitting in a guest's seat, with Greg claiming she was a famous author. Whenever Greg would address her, the camera would center on her as she sat silent and unmoving, with Greg responding as if the "author" had answered his question. Another year had her hovering over Andy's shoulder during the Half-Time Report. Following this, Andy briefly popped up behind a guest, vacant-eyed, with the hammer! Like with Rachel, no one seems to notice. Andy later quipped that he was unphased by her because she was only the second scariest Rachel he'd ever met(a Take That to former panelist Rachel Marsden). | |

Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_e2023325 | comment |
Strawman Political: Stereotypical liberalism and conservatism is often lampooned by Greg and Bill, respectively, painting certain news figures (and often each other) as this. When they actually do lapse into stereotypical partisan politics, Andy will call them on it during the Halftime Report. | |

Catchphrase | |
Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_e6b5d22f | comment |
Catchphrase: Greg: "And if you disagree with me, then ''you'', sir. Are worse. Than HITLER! It's true." "If you disagree with me, then you're a racist, homophobic, (fill-in-the-blank)-ophobe." He often opened the Mail Time with "You write, I read..." followed by something involving blood or awesomeness, such as "You write, I read, then I run you over in a dune buggy made of FIRE!" Andy Levy often says, "I apologize for nothing," while Gutfeld "apologizes for everything." "Shut up, Bill" is one for both Greg and Andy. Mike Baker lampshaded this during the show Andy hosted, expressing his surprise that Andy 21 minutes before uttering that phrase. | |

Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Greg is frequently wrong not only about where a place is located but what kind of place it is, such as "the nation of Hawaii" or "the entire city of Ukraine," although sometimes this is clearly parodied by Greg doing it on purpose, such as "the continent/planet of England." | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: When Bill Schultz left in late 2013, frequent guest Joanne Nosuchinshky became the new The McCoy in the show's Freudian Trio, and even continued Bill's specialty—being the resident expert on pop culture. Downplayed in one sense, though: Her politics are more libertarian/conservative than the liberal Bill. | |
