Red Eye (talk show)
Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld was a late-night comedic talk show that aired on the Fox News Channel from 2007 to 2017. Hosted by Greg Gutfeld, the show featured a panel of commentators offering satirical and often irreverent commentary on current events and pop culture. Unlike traditional news programs, ''Red Eye'' embraced a comedic approach, often employing irony, sarcasm, and humor to discuss serious topics.
The show's format typically included a rotating panel of contributors, known for their distinct personalities and often contrarian viewpoints. These panelists engaged in lively debates and humorous banter with Gutfeld, who served as the show's moderator and primary comedic voice. Recurring segments and features added to the show's unique character, providing consistent elements amidst the ever-changing news cycle.
The show's target audience was generally younger and more inclined towards alternative media sources than traditional news programming. Its late-night timeslot further cemented its position as a program appealing to viewers who sought a different perspective on daily news and current affairs. While often politically charged, the show's primary focus remained on comedic entertainment, avoiding strict adherence to factual reporting. The show's success was attributed to its unique blend of comedy, political commentary, and late-night talk show format. Following its cancellation, its legacy continues as a notable example of a politically-tinged, comedic late-night program.
