Greg Gutfeld (possibly sarcastically?) rants that he’s glad Chauvin found guilty even if he wasn’t actually guilty because he’s tired of rioting. The other Fox News guests including Judge Jeanine almost melted down pic.twitter.com/JXjhdx5w57 — Media Right News (@MediaRightNews1) April 20, 2021. 18 hours ago Greg Gutfeld, 56, is the Libertarian voice of Fox News Channel. He started on the network as the host of Red Eye, a late-night talk show once deemed “the weirdest show in TV” by Entrepreneur.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld joined other prominent conservative voices on Saturday by abandoning his Twitter account after the social media platform permanently banned President Donald Trump.
“To be true to the resolution to myself: this is my last tweet. [O]ther than to read news, [I won’t] be on [T]witter,” Gutfeld first tweeted on Jan. 2. Offering the link to his own website, Gutfeld continued, “[Y]ou’re all invited there; just leave the bullshit behind. Tata.”

On Saturday, after Twitter had banned the president and seemingly began purging the followers of conservative accounts, Gutfeld returned for a final sign-off. “[O]kay, this IS my last tweet: CNN tries to get FNC banned. Apple targets Parler. Publishers dump writers. [M]usic labels drop artists. [T]witter bans/removes thousands. [T]ech companies join hands. [T]his redefines who the true rebels are.”
“[I]f you like the purge, you’re the servant,” Gutfeld added.
okay, this IS my last tweet:
CNN tries to get FNC banned.
Apple targets Parler.
Publishers dump writers.
music labels drop artists.
twitter bans/removes thousands.
tech companies join hands.
this redefines who the true rebels are.
if you like the purge, you're the servant.

After many conservative accounts apparently hemorrhaged followers after the president’s ban, Fox News reported:
“Fox & Friends” co-host Pete Hegseth on Saturday described it as “something of a purge” that might have taken place, as thousands of users disappeared from the platform. Hegseth also suggested that the move might have come after the Georgia Senate runoff results earlier this week, not just after Trump’s account was permanenty suspended.
The exact reason for the shift in users is not known, but it could be that users have voluntarily left the platform along with the president. Fox News reached out to Twitter for comment on the drop in users and was referred to their support page. A follow-up request was not yet returned.
Gutfeld follows in the footsteps of fellow Fox hosts Lou Dobbs and Mark Levin, both of whom left Twitter following the company’s muzzling of the president.
“I don’t believe any American should ever tolerate those who deny us freedom of speech or who would ever be so arrogant as to censor our President,” Dobbs tweeted Friday. “I’m withdrawing from Twitter as of right now.” He urged his followers to join him on Parler.
I don't believe any American should ever tolerate those who deny us freedom of speech or who would ever be so arrogant as to censor our President. I'm withdrawing from Twitter as of right now. Please join me on Parler @LouDobbsTonight. God bless you and America.

Hours earlier, radio host Mark Levin suspended himself from the platform. “I have suspended my own Twitter account in protest against Twitter’s fascism,” Levin said. “I ask all my followers to join me now on Parler and Rumble.”

Radio host Rush Limbaugh also apparently deactivated his Twitter account after Trump was banned. As The Daily Wire reported:
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh reportedly deleted his Twitter account shortly after President Donald Trump was banned from the platform on Friday night.
The link to Limbaugh’s account, which had amassed more than half a million followers before being deleted, now leads to a page that reads: “This account doesn’t exist[.] Try searching for another.” Rumors swirled that Twitter had suspended the account, but a spokesperson for Twitter told both CNN reporter Oliver Darcy and Fox News reporter Joseph Wulfsohn that whoever controls the account deactivated it.
“A Twitter spokesperson tells me the company did not suspend Rush Limbaugh’s account. In other words, it appears Limbaugh (or someone acting on his behalf) deactivated it,” Darcy tweeted.
Wulfsohn tweeted, “Twitter SPOX: ‘I would like to correct that He is not suspended. The user deactivated their account.’”

Gutfeld! is an American late-night talk show on Fox News Channel. It airs at 11:00 P.M. ET on weeknights and is hosted by Greg Gutfeld, the co-host of the weekday round table show The Five. The show features a combination of political satire, comedy, and discussion regarding current events.
The show was formerly known as The Greg Gutfeld Show and aired on Saturday nights at 10:00 P.M. ET. In February 2021, Gutfeld announced that the show would move to weeknights at 11:00 P.M. ET.[2] In March 2021, Gutfeld revealed that the weekday edition of the show would premiere on Monday, April 5, under its new title. The final Saturday episode of the show aired on March 13, 2021.[3]
When breaking news interrupts, Gutfeld! is replaced with an additional hour of Fox News @ Night.
Format[edit]
The show is modeled after traditional late-night talk shows, with Gutfeld (sitting behind his desk) interviewing two guests, who are typically comedians, political commentators and Fox News personalities, along with show regulars Katherine 'Kat' Timpf (a conservative/libertarian writer and blogger) and Tyrus (a former professional wrestler and bodyguard for celebrities).[4][5][6]
When asked how he was discovered for the show, Tyrus said, 'I was just messing around on Twitter one day and I said to Greg about one of the jokes on his show, 'I got it. It took me a minute but I got it.' He said, 'You know I've watched you. You’re a pretty funny guy. Have you ever thought about coming on and doing the show?' I was like, 'Are you serious?!' He was like, 'Yeah, I'll give you a shot.''[7]
The show commonly begins with Gutfeld performing a monologue, usually satirical or simply poking fun at current events. He then introduces his guests. They discuss the evening's topics in a lighthearted way, focusing more on humor rather than rigorous political debate.
