The mood surrounding late-night conservative talk show Gutfeld! has taken a sharp turn — and at the center of the storm is longtime panelist and Fox News personality Tyrus.
Once celebrated for his colorful takes and WWE-sized personality, Tyrus is now facing growing backlash from fans, who claim his on-air behavior is increasingly domineering, loud, and disruptive — making the show “unwatchable” for a rising number of viewers.
💥 Fans Sound Off: “He Talks Over Everyone!”
Social media platforms exploded last week after a string of episodes featured Tyrus frequently interrupting co-hosts, cutting off punchlines, and dominating panel time, often with long-winded rants or inside jokes that missed the mark.
“I turn off the show as soon as Tyrus starts talking,” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“This used to be witty late-night TV. Now it’s just the Tyrus monologue hour.”
Another viral comment read:
“He talks over Kat. He talks over Greg. He talks over the guests. I didn’t come here for that.”
Even fans who once defended his role on the show are now voicing fatigue, claiming his frequent interruptions and “look-at-me” energy are overshadowing what made Gutfeld! a late-night standout in the first place: sharp wit, fast pacing, and a rotating panel of diverse voices.
📺 Inside the On-Air Tension
Multiple recent segments showed Tyrus interjecting mid-conversation, derailing planned jokes or monologues. On one occasion, his commentary left co-host Kat Timpf visibly frustrated, as she attempted to get a word in during a segment about campus politics.
“You could almost feel the eye rolls from the rest of the table,” one fan wrote.
Behind the scenes, some Fox insiders have allegedly expressed concern that the increasing on-air imbalance is affecting the show’s flow and long-term audience engagement.
📉 Is the Show at Risk?
While Gutfeld! remains a ratings leader in its time slot, recent viewer feedback is painting a cautionary picture. Reddit threads, YouTube comments, and Facebook fan pages are now flooded with complaints — many using the same phrase:
“Mute button activated.”
Some fans have even started calling for a rotation system or a limited presence for Tyrus, suggesting he appear on fewer episodes to let other voices shine through.
🤐 Gutfeld Responds?
So far, neither Greg Gutfeld nor the network has issued an official statement regarding the backlash. But eagle-eyed fans noted that in more recent episodes, Tyrus’ speaking time seemed subtly reduced — perhaps a quiet response to mounting pressure.
Still, some viewers say it may not be enough.
“We tune in for the chemistry, not the chaos,” one viewer commented.
“If this continues, Gutfeld! may lose the balance that made it a hit.”
🔄 What Happens Next?
Tyrus remains a polarizing figure — one whose bold style has helped define Gutfeld! just as much as it's now drawing heat. The question now is whether the show will evolve to meet its audience’s feedback… or double down on the very element that’s sparking controversy.
For now, fans are watching — and listening — carefully.
