Fox News late-night host Greg Gutfeld took to Twitter last week to defend his former colleague Tucker Carlson after the conservative pundit was ousted from his 8 p.m. spot 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' in late April.
Gutfeld's defense of Carlson comes after multiple leaked clips surfaced online via the left-wing media watchdog Media Matters. The various clips show Carlson interacting with his production crew with the host asking his makeup artist whether pillow fights break out in the women's restroom, as reported by The Daily Wire.
In response to this, the late-night king tweeted, "imagine having to tell your parents that your job is narcing on the casual comments of other people while they, happily unaware, make a living. Your parents would be so embarrassed and ashamed they'd rather tell their friends you died in a fire."
Gutfeld has repeatedly bucked his network and has defended Carlson from the various leaks which some political commentators, like Megyn Kelly, believe that Fox itself is leaking the clips to isolate Carlson's audience from him.
In response to Media Matters' tweet that read, "NEW FOXLEAKS: Media Matters obtained three more behind-the-scenes videos featuring former Fox host Tucker Carlson's creepy on-set comments," Gutfeld called the watchdog employees "hall monitor failures."
"[A]pparently everyone understands nonsense banter between segments except for hall monitor failures bitterly chronicling the lives of the far more successful," the Fox host wrote.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, this isn't the first time that Gutfeld has come to Carlson's defense. Gutfeld clashed with his co-host on 'The Five', Geraldo Rivera, when the centrist journalist tweeted: “I don’t wish ill on anybody, but there is no doubt – as I said at the time-Tucker Carlson’s perverse January 6 conspiracy theory was ‘bullsh*t,’” referring to Carlson’s groundbreaking exposé of the January 6th Capital Riot that publicly annihilated the Democrats biased narrative of the events that day.
He added, “Having lost the election President Trump incited an insurrection that sought to undermine our Constitutional process,” despite the accusations of the 45th President Donald Trump “inciting” the riot being fully and repeatedly debunked.
Gutfeld responded to the post sharply writing, “You’re a class act, Geraldo. A real man of the people.”
It's clear that not everyone at Fox News sees Carlson's firing the same way. Gutfeld's defense of the former host shows that there are some at the conservative network who are willing to seek out the truth while others turn a blind eye.
