Jon Stewart Explains Ratings Success of ‘Relentless’ Greg Gutfeld Over Late Night Shows

STEWART: “The entire bullsh*t — again, this is them trying to police and create rules that they would never follow. The idea that by having what what may be a more left-leaning or progressive bend or just bringing in — that’s how FOX is popular. That’s how any of these people — you know, they all talk about Gutfeld as the most popular. Yeah, he’s not popular because he’s a both sides guy. He’s not, you know, a fair use like the fairness doctrine says. Like, he’s relentless. And, you know, after a day of watching Fox News and being bathed in their very purposeful propaganda, it’s a great way to top off the night. But it’s not the Jay Leno, like, [imitates Leno] ‘I don’t understand, why offend your audience? Why not just do a show about — you know, why do you have to talk about things you believe? Why do you have to make jokes about things you actually think? I’m just gonna go throw myself down a hill.’”
