It was supposed to be just another episode of daytime TV. Instead, viewers witnessed a viral moment as Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld and Tyrus delivered a relentless, comedic takedown of Whoopi Goldberg’s latest remarks—leaving the TV landscape buzzing and social media ablaze.
The Spark: Whoopi’s Controversial Comparison
The drama began when Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of “The View,” made a controversial comparison between the experiences of Black Americans and women in Iran. As the panel discussed human rights abuses abroad, Whoopi argued that “where the Iranian regime is today is nothing compared to… hanging black [people]” in America, drawing a sharp line between the two societies.
Her comments immediately drew pushback—not just from her co-hosts, but from the broader commentariat. Enter Greg Gutfeld and Tyrus, who wasted no time dissecting the statement on their own program, turning the moment into a comedic spectacle.
Gutfeld & Tyrus: No Holds Barred
What happened next wasn’t just criticism—it was, as fans put it, “a demolition.” Gutfeld and Tyrus didn’t come to play nice. They came swinging, with Gutfeld’s signature sarcasm and Tyrus’s deadpan wit, roasting Whoopi’s remarks with the energy of a late-night cage match.
“Whoopi’s last ounce of credibility vaporized,” Gutfeld quipped, likening her argument to “a toddler opening birthday presents”—all chaos, no logic. Tyrus followed up with his own brand of humor, walking viewers through Whoopi’s logic “like a tour guide in a museum of broken ideas.”
Satire Meets Substance
The duo zeroed in on Whoopi’s tone, delivery, and the substance—or lack thereof—of her argument. Gutfeld mimicked her slow, serious delivery, joking that it sounded “like she was reading an IKEA manual for how to feel sad.” Tyrus, meanwhile, compared her shifting emotions to “an auction gone wrong”—ramping up the drama without ever landing a point.
Their critique wasn’t just about style. Gutfeld and Tyrus highlighted the real-world differences between the experiences of marginalized groups in America and the well-documented human rights abuses in Iran, using satire to underscore the seriousness of the topic.
“When you compare life in the US to Iran, well, please—cover your face,” Gutfeld quipped, referencing the stark difference in freedoms and rights.
The Art of the Roast
What set this takedown apart was its comedic timing and willingness to go beyond surface-level jabs. Gutfeld and Tyrus poked fun at Whoopi’s “camera-concerned” delivery, her “moral gymnastics,” and what they described as “a performance for the already convinced.”
“Whoopi’s arguments weren’t just opinions—they were like boomerangs bouncing off social media walls and coming back louder and messier,” Gutfeld said, earning laughs from his live audience.
Tyrus added, “It’s like rewearing the same sock—still stinks, still shocking someone’s waving it around.”
The Echo Chamber Effect
The pair didn’t stop at Whoopi’s comments. They expanded their critique to the broader culture of televised punditry, where, as Gutfeld put it, “the gods of daytime TV beam enlightenment into them during commercial breaks.”
They mocked the idea that simply having a platform makes someone right, and lampooned what they saw as “echo chamber gymnastics”—where opinions are repeated, amplified, and rarely challenged.
Keeping It Real—And Responsible
Despite the harsh humor, Gutfeld and Tyrus made sure to keep the conversation rooted in facts, not personal attacks. They never questioned Whoopi’s right to speak, but rather the substance and logic of her argument.
“Only in America,” Tyrus noted, “can a black person sit on a TV show getting paid millions of dollars to have the floor and say what they want. If life here was really like Iran, speaking out in public would have led to a stoning, not a standing ovation.”
Gutfeld closed with a pointed observation: “The beauty about this country is there’s always an opportunity for you to better yourself—so shame on you, Whoopi, play the black card somewhere else, because it doesn’t work here.”
The Aftermath: Viral and Unforgettable
As the segment wrapped, viewers flocked to social media to share clips and commentary. Some praised Gutfeld and Tyrus for saying what others wouldn’t; others defended Whoopi’s right to raise difficult issues. But almost everyone agreed—the takedown was sharp, memorable, and impossible to ignore.
What made this moment so viral? It wasn’t just the jokes or the drama—it was the combination of satire, substance, and the willingness to call out what the hosts saw as flawed logic in real time.
