For a man who\u2019s not particularly funny, he\u2019s hard to look at, he\u2019s not very talented, he\u2019s a poor writer, he has drafted his entire career behind Adam Carolla, what the man is apparently gifted at is blackmail because I don\u2019t know what he has on the ABC and Disney execs. The fact that they brought him back after slandering a true Christian martyr, really the first martyr that we saw in this country since MLK, the fact that they brought him back, it\u2019s inexplicable beyond \u2014 he\u2019s just gotta have photos or tapes somewhere of somebody doing something.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYeah,\u201d Gutfeld responded. \u201cWell, that\u2019s why I\u2019m here at Fox. Anything happens to me, ho, ho, ho, I\u2019m mailing that DVD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gutfeld previously offered plenty of criticism of Kimmel over his Kirk comment, but also argued Kirk would likely want Kimmel back on the air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI do think Jimmy should be back on the air, at least to explain himself, even though he and all the other pieces of s**t spent years putting targets on our backs,\u201d he <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/fox-gutfeld-says-charlie-kirk-135811035.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:said;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">said<\/a>. \u201cBut maybe that\u2019s what Charlie Kirk would want.
