Fox News host roasts competitors from @nytmag
The interviewer, David Marchese, asks Fox News host Greg Gutfeld for his reaction to the hypothetical cancellation of his late-night competitors, Colbert and Kimmel. Gutfeld responds sarcastically, claiming he "crushed them" and that their shows failed due to declining ratings because they became political "therapy sessions" rather than entertainment, dismissing the idea that political pressure was the cause. Marchese then questions Gutfeld about his personal animosity towards them, citing specific insults Gutfeld has used.
