Glenn Beck-James Cameron Feud Gets The Red Eye (And Robot) Treatment

After Avatar director James Cameron went off on Fox News host Glenn Beck for something he said three years ago, Beck responded on his show.

Last night the Red Eye team weighed in on the debate (and brought back the robots).

Host Greg Gutfeld joked that Cameron “took the ultimate risk – [calling] Glenn Beck an effing a-hole.”

“You know you’re doing something right if you’re pissing off an incredibly successful director,” he said. “This guy’s been thinking about this for three years or so.”

Musician Andrew W.K. was firmly on Team Beck. “I think James Cameron is jealous of Glenn Beck,” he said, noting that although Cameron is a hugely successful director, Beck may be the bigger star personally.

Then it was time to imagine a conversation between James Cameron and his producer – as told by robots. An example:

Cameron: People who deny global warming are bad people and should probably die.
Producer: It’s like denying the awesomeness of James Cameron.
Cameron: Also, people who haven’t seen Avatar should die.

A showdown between Beck and Cameron was discussed, but the likelihood is pretty low – although once tickle fights become a topic on Beck’s Fox News show I guess anythign is possible.

Here’s the clip from last night (robots around the 5-minute mark):

Excellent! Mediaite needs more Red Eye. And Red Eye needs more Steve Krakauer. Steve, the first time you were on you had some good lines, but you seemed scared sitting next to Bill Schultz (which is understandable).

Red Eye is the best! Beck vs Cameron; let the games begin!

Greg lampoons the left better than anyone on TV. It’s only because his show is on so late that he hasn’t yet made a blip on the far left’s hate radar.

You are correct. Red Eye is the best kept secret on television. If it ever breaks out the way it deserves to, they will paint Greg as being crazier and more hate-filled than Beck and Limbaugh combined.

I have seen Red Eye a couple of times. It has its moments, but it is a bit wooden and tedious most of the time.

In any event, moderate, progressive and liberal Americans are too tired from working hard, doing their National Guard duty, taking the kids to Pop Warner and piano lessons, attending parish functions and living normal, decent lives to have much energy at this late hour.

You just graced us with some unintended wisdom, Finch. Gutfield is comedy, satire. We understand the difference. We don’t convert him into serious commentary, and we don’t convert Beck and Limbaugh, two of the least comedic figures in Amerika into comedians or journalists. No moderate, liberal or progressive American would be offended by Gutfield.

Real Royal King:

For your edification, here are some hi lights from the “I Hate Greg Gutfeld” group on Facebook. So much for the claim that “[n]o moderate, liberal or progressive American would be offended by Gutfeld.”

Please excuse the vulgarity–it’s not mine:

MISUNDERSTOOD? BULLSHIT!!! Their was no misunderstanding, Greg Gutfeld directly disrespected Canada and our Military. If it was a misundertsanding the Red Eyes news segments wouldn’t be a 4:24 discussion which was basically making fun of most things Canadian.

Greg Gutfeld so happenes to have a Facebook, if you do happen to see this Group, you should be ashamed of yourself. You stupid AMERICAN PRICKS!!

P.S. When someone makes fun of Canada and our Military this is what comes up. Rants… good job Red Eye, You got some haters.

“No moderate, liberal or progressive American…”

Shouldn’t American also be spelled with a ‘k’?

I wish someone would move Gutfeld to prime time. If Fox doesn’t do it, some smart competitor should snatch him up and give him a platform at a more reasonable hour. Of course, that would never happen, because he would fail the CNN-MSNBC litmus test that they give as part of physical exam before signing new talent. They want to hire robots, not lampoon them.

lol, Real Royal King,
you said liberal Americans are too tired from working… I almost fell on the ground laughing.
I think you meant to say, liberal Americans are to tired of sitting around collecting welfare and draining the tax system from the real working people. Remember you guys are the ones who want more nanny state government policies…
Also your folks are out in the street yelling OBAMA! ObamA! free money from his stash….No more car or house payments.
Did you guys forget who your base is?

PureFreedom, be fair to TRRK. It’s hard work spending other people’s money.

What are you, some politician? It’s call a DVR, ya dumbass. Red Eye is the most DVR’d show on television.
