TV: Greg Gutfeld's "Red Eye" Cleaning Up

Ever heard of Red Eye? For those that haven't, it's a comedy show on Fox News, and has been on the air for over two years now. It's my favorite show on the air, despite the fact that Fox News used to air it at 2am, and then crazily moved it to 3am shortly after the show was launched. I don't understand why they ever did this, except that there's some element of raunchy humor where Greg always jokes about his house boy slaves locked in his basement. Maybe that doesn't sound funny, but the fact is this: people are watching. Lots of 'em.

Get this: in the month of September, "Red Eye" had more 25-54 year old viewers than CNN's primetime 8pm show (whoever Campbell Brown is). And the show is beginning to snowball - viewship is up 50% since July. Keep in mind Red Eye is on at 3am!

The way I'd describe it is: the show is kind of a right-wing version of politically incorrect except for 2 things: 1. it is actually politically incorrect, (while the Bill Maher version is the opposite), and 2. it's funny (whereas Maher is a dullard).

Tivo it. Great show. Glad it's doing so well.
