It's shocking that Maddow has any viewers at ALL.
Those are just Gutfeld's writers gathering material for tomorrow's show. Being the Diva that he is, Gutfeld employs a large staff, yet Tyrus still has to carry his own bags.
It’s. Lucky that you, I mean Tyrus, has. big arms for those bags.
Now show Joe Rogan's numbers?
