Who knew Greg Gutfeld was still collecting a paycheck? Perhaps he's not, and Fox News just has an hour to kill during the wee hours. But it's warming to know Bill O'Reilly isn't the only one on the network filling programming hours with attacks on their MSNBC competitors. But while Keith Olbermann remains Bill's favorite target, Gutfeld prefers himself another silver fox.

America at its best

Last week, the dial's least-watched show host, Greg Gutfeld, spent a robust seven minutes exercising every derogatory term for transgendered people in a story about "pregnant man" Thomas Beatie. A couple days later, responding to viewer outrage he "apologized."

In typical I'm A Card Carrying Member Of American Scumbags fashion.

Greg Gutfeld & Co. exhaust every offensive transgendered slur: Creature, Ewok

Fox News Red Eye enters Joe Scarborough's territory, calling female-to-male transgendered Thomas Beatie, who is pregnant, a "sideshow." Says host Greg Gutfeld: "Twenty years ago, this person would be traveling in a carnival. I'm sorry! People would be paying a dollar."

Plus He's Never Met A Cheeto (Or Right-Wing Nutjob) He Didn't Like

Well, the verdicts are in, and Fox's Red Eye is still….on the air! But how is host Greg Gutfeld dealing with all his "success?"

“I’ve got tits. I’ve got fucking tits….I’ve completely stopped exercising.

“I feel like I’m a lion tamer holding chain saws,” Mr. Gutfeld said. “Because I want to say something funny, but I’m too busy going, O.K., what do I do next?” The surreal feeling of the show blends into the type of commercials running at that insomniac hour—Vermont Teddy Bears, adjustable beds, giant tomatoes.

“It’s somewhat similar to somebody who’s lost his mind,” Mr. Gutfeld said. “Because I’m a complete maniac. You may disagree with me, but you can’t stop watching …. I don’t even think you have to like the show to get sucked in.”

Well, he's right about one thing: you don't have to like the show in order to watch. You just have to be awake, intoxicated and either high on drugs or utterly incapable of finding the remote.

On second thought, he's right about three things. They have "mansieres" for that, bro.

It's going to be a reunion of sorts on tonight's Red Eye, a show where Canadian conservative crazy Rachel Marsden gets to defend Don Imus for merely calling Rutgers' basketball team a "dirty diaper." Greg Gutfeld, we hear, is welcoming Us Weekly's online editor Noelle Hancock, as well as the tabloid's former public face Katrina Szish, who's likely appearing on behalf ABC News. Yes, the same ABC News where she conducted an interview with a Life & Style editor (knowing full well, ahead of time, that the competing tabloid's staffer was the guest) and proceeded to get fired from Us.

Sure, the show's website might be listing In Touch Weekly's Tia Williams as a guest, but we hear Tia is on the midnight train to Georgia. Or D.C. (Disclosure: Tia is the sister of Stereohyped editor Lauren Williams, and appeared, awesomely, in that Marsden segment.)

Which leaves Noelle and Katrina to yammer on as Greg cheerleads the sniping between two of Janice Min's veteran beauties. It's almost enough to consider tuning in for.

Update: Turns out, Tia was on last night's show. So much for having an insider at your own blog company who knows where her sister is.

The battle between Fox News and Tribune Co. rages on in the trademark dispute over the name "Red Eye." FNC's Greg Gutfeld-hosted middle-of-the-night show Red Eye carries a monicker too familiar for RedEye, the freebie daily that the Chicago Tribune publishes in its hometown. The two parties have finally hauled their asses into court, and the debating has begun. So what's the final deal shaping up to be?

What we like most about red eyes: The Bliss Spa pack that JetBlue offers on those late night flights. What we like least: Every media property that adopts the name stinks worse than Dov Charney's drawls. So it's only natural that two of those media properties – the Chicago Tribune's daily freebie RedEye and Greg Gutfeld's late-night Red Eye show on Fox News – are clashing over the name.

Tribune is claiming copyright infringement and has scored a Feb. 26 court date. They're seeking a name change to Gutfeld's show, plus damages, given that FNC's Red Eye supposedly mimics the content in the giveaway newspaper. You know, since both happen to talk about very niche topics … like Anna Nicole Smith and the Oscars.

"Viewers are likely to assume Fox and the RedEye products owned by Tribune are collaborating, thereby causing confusion," the publishing company's suit, filed Wednesday, claimed.

And they might have a point. If Tribune Co. would have us testify, we're pretty damn sure we could convince a judge that it's easy to confuse a print product with a late night TV show when they're both steaming piles of crap.

It's time to meet Red Eye, the new Wasteland-esque show on Fox News that premieres tonight. At 2am. Hosted by Greg Gutfeld, you know you've got all sorts of great things to look forward to. Namely, seeing the show get canceled.

Greg Gutfeld

Former Maxim UK editor and sometime HuffPo blogger Greg Gutfield is, it appears, still employable. Leave it to Fox News to offer the man who traffics in unkosher humor to host a new show, titled Red Eye. And what's with the name that doesn't come with a complimentary Bliss Spa pack?

According to a tipster, the program will air at 3am ET, midnight PT.

Otherwise known as primetime viewing hours for … Colbert Report repeats.

For this sketch, and this sketch alone, can we forgive Greg Gutfeld for launching The Daily Gut. But it was the ex-Maxim UK editor's caption contribution that's forcing well-wishing thoughts from our amygdala: "Does Toyota make a hybrid yacht?" Please let this be a recurring feature.

The Daily Gut

The long-awaited (perhaps just by us) blogs from former Maxim UK editor and Arianna Huffington muse Greg Gutfeld that we told you about exclusively back in April are, without much hype, here. Greg's teamup with ex-Dennis Publishing editorial director Andy Clerkson has yieled The Daily Gut and The Big God Blog, both of which we're having a little difficult pinning down their relevance.

On The Daily Gut, so far we've got terrorism, Paul McCartney porn, and Barry Manilow. Ew. And on The God Blog: Ian Schrager, Jesus, and Coldplay. Yawning yet?

The good news: Unlike some time sucks, it looks like all of Gutfeld's magazine experience will keep him from ever resorting to fucking lame ass stupid publishing jokes.

Greg Gutfeld

With Hufftington Post resident comedic relief Greg Gutfeld having recently cut ties with British Maxim, what's a media outcast to do? Says a tipster that just dropped a load in our inbox, Greg will be – you guessed it – starting a blog. He'll be naming it The Daily Gut and, we're hoping, will take on Mark Remy & Co. at OfficePirates.com in the contest for the most work-safe lukewarm vulgarity. Connect this to a previous Page Six reports that ex-Dennis Pubilshing editorial director Andy Clerkson recently took off to join Gutfeld in Britain on a "new project," and you'll see the culmination of laddie expats joining forces in mediocrity. No word yet on whether Gutfeld will be continuing at HuffPo given his newfound daily blogging responibilities but, honestly, the only thing we read over there was Mario Batali's recipe poems.
