Jordan or Florence Pugh promote their new movies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Fox News series doesn\u2019t depend on A-listers like most late-night shows. It\u2019s about offering an alternative to the landscape\u2019s hard-Left agenda and spotlighting talent you won\u2019t find on \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That approach\u00a0made \u201cGutfeld!\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/gutfeld-late-night-king\/\">king of late night<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From Fox News\u2019 PR department:<\/p>\n<p><em>Gutfeld! notched its highest-rated week in program history last week in total viewers with 2.4 million viewers, 397,000 in A25-54 and 241,000 in A18-49 continuing its cable news reign at 11 PM\/ET.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld and co. beat \u201cThe Late Show\u201d last week, making it three straight weeks to accomplish that feat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/why-jimmy-kimmel-late-night-retirement\/\"><strong>RELATED: IS THIS WHY KIMMEL IS MULLING LATE-NIGHT RETIREMENT?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld shared the inner workings of the show with <a href=\"https:\/\/adamcarolla.com\/greg-gutfeld-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">podcaster Adam Carolla this week,<\/a> from how he prepares his nightly monologues to what led him to the biggest gig of his career.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all the comedians revealed during the extensive chat.<\/p>\n<p>The duo shared the constant discrimination they face for being part of right-leaning projects. For Carolla, it\u2019s \u201cTruth Yeller,\u201d a comedy series featured exclusively at The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld\u2019s late-night juggernaut faces similar issues. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/media-late-night-diversity-not-ideological\/\">Entertainment reporters routinely ignore the show<\/a>, pretending the most popular late-night entry doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s only one obstacle facing Team Gutfeld, and Carolla has firsthand experience on that subject.<\/p>\n<p>Carolla described what he faced when trying to hire writers for \u201cTruth Yeller.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people don\u2019t wanna work for The Daily Wire, not because they\u2019re against The Daily Wire but because they don\u2019t wanna be blackballed in Hollywood,\u201d Carolla said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy problem,\u201d Gutfeld interjected.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/adam-carolla-mainstream-media-big-tech-rigged-election-for-biden\/\"><strong>RELATED: CAROLLA SAYS BIG TECH, MEDIA RIGGED ELECTION FOR BIDEN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Carolla added some artists watch his work but fear the repercussions of aligning with him in a professional capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld knows the feeling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t tell you how many examples I have of this \u2026 \u2018I love your show. Can\u2019t do it,&#8217;\u201d Gutfeld said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, there\u2019s the interference that\u2019s run up by the team,\u201d Gutfeld continued. \u201cIt\u2019s always the publicist. \u2018We\u2019re just looking out for [the talent].&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carolla said publicists are aggressively progressive, often for pragmatic reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have to navigate Hollywood in a way that\u2019s even more intricate than a host or an actor, because they have so many clients with so many crazy beliefs that would [get them fired]\u00a0in a heartbeat if they were found out,\u201d Carolla said.<\/p>\n<p>And it doesn\u2019t matter if the star in question connects directly to the American public or draws huge ratings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re dealing with people who don\u2019t actually like your customer,\u201d Gutfeld said of too many publicists.<\/p>\n<p>Carolla returned to a familiar theme, at least to right-leaning souls. The same industry targeted during the McCarthy era now actively discriminates against political views they don\u2019t embrace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, we can\u2019t get the guys who wrote on \u2018Conan\u2019 to come into the writers\u2019 room because they\u2019re scared of being blackballed.\u00a0It drives me insane that they never stop complaining about McCarthyism and they\u2019re more than happy to blackball anybody who crosses the line,\u201d Carolla said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re the new McCarthy-ites, especially in this woke culture,\u201d Gutfeld said. \u201cI\u2019m counting on this show succeeding without names and creating our own celebrities, which is actually what happens at Fox.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The problem isn\u2019t new, though.<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago comedian Michael Loftus shared how he pitched a more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/conservative-late-night-shows-loftus\/\">ideologically neutral late-night show<\/a> around Hollywood. The general pitch earned praise, but the political angle stopped it in its tracks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t put it on the air because it would look like we were friendly to the right,\u201d Loftus recalled to podcaster and author Andrew Klavan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cGutfeld!\u201d isn\u2019t the place to see Brad Pitt, Michael B.
