During “The Five” on FOX News on Friday, Greg Gutfeld delivered a surprisingly long and forceful tirade defending late night host and competitor Jimmy Fallon, who has come under fire for staffers who made environmental accusations on Fallon’s show.
Apparently the two met and Gutfeld thought Fallon was a funny and friendly guy.
Greg’s rant contained a lot of advice for Fallon, especially that he should stop apologizing to the mob. Greg said:
“Well, this is going to take a while, so forgive me Jimmy if you’re watching or if you have a friend watching. I hope your friend records this and sends this segment to you because no one will say this to you. Not your agent who depends on your salary. Not your fake publicist who depends on your salary, and not your psychiatrist who depends on your salary. But I will, because I don’t care.
They try to bully you and they are sad cowards and assholes because they don’t like people like you. He’s actually a really nice guy, I don’t know if you’ve ever met him. I’m jealous of the man, the man is so incredibly talented. The guy can sing, he can dance, he’s funny, he’s sweet, I’ve met him in bars, he’s a gentle, sweet person. He’s good at everything except hiding his own stuff, and that’s the problem here.
If the drinking story is true, that’s sad. If the drinking story isn’t true, that’s bad because he’s being targeted with false and possibly real reasons to get him fired. Once again he’s getting shitty, but the important thing is, dude, you gotta stop apologizing. You apologize constantly and you apologize to the people who will never forgive you. None of those people like you. You apologize to your family, you apologize to your friends, you apologize to the people you wronged, but you don’t apologize because that damn PR person told you to.
You don’t apologize because your publicist thinks it will save your job; they want to take your job away! How dare you apologize to anonymous people? Anonymous people going to Rolling Stone, a sham of a dirty magazine. Two words. Duke lacrosse. They have no respect. That was a fake article. Faceless snakes are coming after you and you have to apologize to these damn losers. That is not good.”

Greg Gutfeld showed a lot of class. It’s a shame that more people in the media don’t show the same courage.
