Here's the Only Late-Night Show That Hasn't Been Affected by the Writers' Striker
As Leah covered on Tuesday, many of the late-night shows have been affected by the writers' strike. Except Fox News "Gutfeld!," that is, since the show was able to air on all new episode. While the bulk of host Greg Gutfeld's monologue was about Hunter Biden being the dead beat dad that he is, Gutfeld did address the bind his fellow late-night hosts are presently in.
Before discussing Hunter Biden, Gutfeld welcomed the audience with a "Happy Tuesday everyone, especially my fellow late-night hosts, or what's left of them. James Corden is on his way back to England, but the rest of them are all shut down because their writers are on strike. That's one sure way to make those shows funnier," he quipped.
"Who knew they had writers? That's like finding out Brian Stelter had a personal trainer," Gutfeld also joked, finding a way to include a favorite target of his, leading guest Tyrus to mention it's "never over."
"But on 'Gutfeld!,' my writers don't strike," Gutfeld continued. "I strike the writers," as he showed a clip from "Spartacus" and warned "and that's for writing a good joke."

Nation Surprised To Find Out Late-Night TV Actually Had WritersU.S. — Americans are in shock after late-night talk shows were forced to shut down amid a writer's strike, revealing the fact that late-night shows actually had writers.
"Wait, wait, wait... someone's actually writing this stuff? Like, on purpose?" said one local man upon hearing the news. "I always assumed these monologues and bits were being written by a pack of brain-damaged weasels, or a herd of angry liberal geese, or maybe Jen Psaki. What a surprise!"
Sources say The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show, and The Late Late Show will all take a hiatus until the industry comes to an agreement with the Writers Guild of America. Until then, late-night writers will be forced to pour all their political hatred and malice into tweets, blog posts, and calls to their Trump-supporting parents in exchange for no money.
"I hope they come back soon," said universally beloved entertainer and comedian Jimmy Kimmel. "I need them to help me find new and creative ways to say things like: 'I hate Ron DeSantis and I hope he dies.' The show can't go on without them!"
At publishing time, the shows had been put back on the air after hosts realized they could easily just open their show by reading from Karine Jean-Pierre's press conference notebook.
And the obligatory YouTube clip of the opening segment:
