The New York Observer profiles Greg Gutfeld

I can’t decide which part I like best: the “Craig will eat him” anecdote, the description of Bill Schulz as “Muppet-like,” or the suggestion that GG is essentially a high-functioning alcoholic. Come for the gossipy personal details, stay for Gut’s observations about Jon Stewart, liberalism, and what not to say to Berkeley chicks to get them in the sack. It’s a minefield of F-bombs, though, so skip it if that’s not your thing.

Total mentions of Andrew Levy: 0.

And levy is the best part of the show :( Even though I’ve only seen it twice; and the clips that get posted here. :P

I agree. Andrew’s snark is the best kung fu.

Good article tho.

Fascinating. I wonder, can he be that funny while sober? Or are we in for a Janine Garafalo-type personality melt-down when he starts going to AA so that Ailes won’t fire him and take away the show.

What this man needs is a son. Someone he can play pranks on and teach to drive a car at ten years old. He needs a son to help him discern the difference between himself and a child. And to appreciate the similarities. I think he’d love having a little Greg Jr. once he got used to it.

Soon he’d be going home to his two-bedroom co-op and his wife, Elena Moussa, a 25-year-old Russian beauty he met in London.

He flew to Los Angeles to visit his friend Andrew Breitbart, a regular contributor at the Drudge Report. Over dinner, a guy from Fox News told Mr. Gutfeld about a new show. “I was drunk enough to say, ‘I’ll be the host!’” said Mr. Gutfeld.

He idolized Hollywood Squares fixture Paul Lynde.

That’s so effin’ awesome. Levy is my homie, but Gutfeld is my hero.

They need to have more Breitbart on The Eye. What? Don’t tell me you wussed out on video recording Breitbart’s vasectomy!

That did not disappoint! Particularly enjoyed the line about “…the most self-absorbed, vanity-driven enterprise.”

I thought this part was the most interesting:

And it’s because it’s a country that has already lost, and they don’t care. Being in England is like being dead.

lorien1973 on May 23, 2007 at 7:37 PM

And who -doesn’t- google ‘naked,’ ‘deviant’ and ’strippers.’ every day?

lorien1973 on May 23, 2007 at 7:42 PM

“Functioning”?

Jim Treacher on May 23, 2007 at 8:11 PM

This guy hung out with retards on the playground, quipped that he’d kick his high school teacher’s ass, convinced college girls that his frat brother was a cannibal, met R. Emmett Tyrell, Ronald Reagan, Roger Alies, Andrew Breitbart, and Julia Allison, and has a hot Russian wife…

Greg Gutfeld: The 21st Century Forrest Gump!

ScottMcC on May 23, 2007 at 8:14 PM

I would still watch the show, even without Levy.

But, with Levy, it is the best show on Fox. Sorry, Sean, you lose!

JayHaw Phrenzie on May 23, 2007 at 8:19 PM

What’s wrong with being a high-functioning alcoholic? People say that like it’s a bad thing.

The Unabrewer on May 23, 2007 at 11:35 PM

I’m told by the writer that my part was cut in editing.

Please note that I am specifically NOT saying that the editor is obviously anti-Semitic.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that my part will be restored in the unrated DVD version of the article, which I believe ~~is due out~~ drops sometime in the fall.

Oh, and to The Apologist: I can assure you that Gutfeld is not an alcoholic.

I can also assure you that he doesn’t drink at all before or during the show. I cannot, however, give you the same assurance with regards to me.

It’s nothing of a sexual nature, I assure you.

Levy on May 24, 2007 at 1:04 AM

I have a lot in common with Greg.

-Met Reagan when I was 10.

-Married to a deautiful Russian who is 23, I am 40.

-Used humor, and alcohol, to excess in college and beyond.

I hope he appreciates what he has in his wife. Russian women are excellent spouses who treat their husbands like gold. They also put up with a whole hell of a lot more than American women.

Bill C on May 24, 2007 at 1:06 AM

Levy, I don’t believe for a second that anything of a sexual nature you’re involved in doesn’t require alcohol. If only for the help in mustering your courage.

And I still think Greg would be a great dad and that he’d enjoy being one a great deal. My own father is still alive, but I’m positive he could be persuaded to give me up for adoption for less than $10 and an 8×10 glossy of Mr. Gutfield’s wife.

I’m kidding of course. Mr Gutfield could keep his $10. It would make a nice first week’s allowance anyway for his newly adopted son, Apologist Gutfield Jr.

“THAT’S OUR HITLER!!!”

GG sounds like the perfect upstart. I’m game.

I see the show as a piece of crap. All there is; is a bunch of yuppies sitting around a desk attempting to say the seven things you can’t say on television. Occasionally it appears that the show is editted. SOOOoooo, I suppose those yuppies are pushing the envelope. Bottom line, I could care less. Its a dumb and pointless show.
