Greg Gutfeld doesn’t miss his former Fox News colleague Chris Wallace, nor is he shedding tears over the collapse of CNN+, where Wallace went to work after nearly two decades at Fox.
The NY Daily News reports Gutfeld, who had a late-night talk show on the channel and also appears on popular afternoon show “The Five,” took several shots at Wallace on the latter program Thursday. One of his wisecracks compared Wallace to alternative energy resources, which he called unreliable.
“Look at CNN+, how much money they invested in wind power by hiring Chris Wallace,” Gutfeld joked.
Wallace said in late March that he made the move from Fox News to CNN+ after 18 years of service at the right-wing cable channel because working there became “unsustainable” after the 2020 election.
“I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox,” Wallace said.
Wallace conceded that he moved to CNN+ early this year under circumstances that were “not ideal,” but he seemed to have high hopes for his streaming series “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” His future with CNN is unclear.
Gutfeld did more talking about Wallace Thursday. After joking he hadn’t talked about celebrity sightings in a while, Gutfeld joked he just saw Wallace wandering outside of a Midtown tavern Thursday afternoon.
“I’m going to do this every segment, so get used to it!” Gutfeld warned his “The Five” colleagues.
Fox News boasted Tuesday that “The Five” was its most-watched show last week when the network once more dominated cable news ratings.
CNN is believed to have invested $100 million in CNN+, NBC News reports. It will be put to rest April 30.
