In the world of political and social commentary, clashes and feuds are no strangers. Our screens are often filled with intense debates and heated arguments.
But sometimes, a bit of humor and a well-timed quip can change the dynamic entirely. This was exactly what happened when Joy Behar of The View took on Greg Gutfeld, the self-proclaimed “King of Late Night.”
Let’s rewind to a lively episode of The View, where the discussion turned to Geraldo Rivera’s departure from Fox News’ The Five. As Behar humorously reflected on her own experience of being let go from The View, she couldn’t help but question Rivera’s claim of leaving the show voluntarily. “No one’s giving up these lucrative jobs so easily,” she quipped, eliciting laughter and agreement from the audience.
As the conversation shifted to Greg Gutfeld and his constant critiques of Behar and The View, co-host Sunny Hostin mentioned Gutfeld’s frequent mentions of Behar in his shows.
Feigning ignorance, Behar playfully asked, “Who is he?…I guess he’s just obsessed with me!” Her dismissive tone and genuine puzzlement struck a chord with the audience, who erupted in laughter and applause.
Gutfeld, known for his provocative style and satirical attacks on public figures, including Behar, has made a career out of his relentless critiques. In his segments, he has compared Behar to Hitler’s wife and made derogatory comments about her age and appearance.
But despite his provocations, Behar’s recent comments showcased her seasoned media personality and her ability to handle criticism with humor and grace.
The longstanding feud between Gutfeld and Behar is no secret. Gutfeld has often used Behar as his punching bag, framing her as a target for his audience’s disdain towards more liberal viewpoints.
However, Behar’s unbothered stance and lighthearted dismissal have turned the tables on the Fox News host. With her sharp wit and quick comebacks, Behar has effectively disarmed Gutfeld’s attacks, leaving him seemingly obsessed with an unflappable media personality.
While the Gutfeld-Behar feud continues, this moment on The View serves as a reminder of the power of humor in defusing tension and changing the narrative. In a world filled with fierce debates and relentless criticism, a well-timed quip can take the wind out of anyone’s sails.
