The show is co hosted by [[Wrestling/BrodusClay Tyrus]] and Kat Timpf and has two guests every week. The show jokes about the news of the week and does not take itself too seriously.

8!! ''The Greg Gutfeld Show'' contains examples of:
9
10* AIIsACrapshoot: Whenever they talk about Boston Dynamics' latest innovation, they come to the conclusion that AI will take over.
11* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Greg showed a bunch of fake books claiming that UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump is a bad person, they start at claims of theft, and the last book says that Trump returned a borrowed pencil with bitemarks in first grade.
12* ButtMonkey: Kat plays this role a lot, usually jokes about her cat and her past relationships are brought up. Sometimes Greg will be the butt, though.
13* {{Catchphrase}}:
14** "Happy [insert day] everyone!"
15** "I'm Greg Gutfeld, and I love you, America."
16** At the end, when throwing the show to "Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream", Greg always says "...with Evil Shannon Bream."
17* ChristmasEpisode: During the holidays there will be Christmas themed music when cutting to and coming back from commercials.
18* ConfettiDrop: When Greg got his drivers license he had a bunch of people wearing animal costumes come out and throw confetti all around the set.
19* DeadpanSnarker: Pretty much every guest, but Kat Timpf is by far the most frequent user. When Dana Perino guest-hosted the show, she adopted the deadpan style for it, while she's normally known for straight reporting.
20-->'''Dana''': A communications problem is when Joe Biden's microphone doesn't work. A fact problem is when it does.
21* DisproportionateCelebration: When Greg got his drivers license and had his huge celebration Tyrus called it this.
22->'''Tyrus:''' You should have got your drivers license 4 or 5 decades ago, you shouldn't be celebrating this.
23* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The show didn't have a laugh track for the first 6 months, and the first few episodes were full of news parody segments, which are done less often in current episodes. The show was a more traditional talk show instead of the panel show it became later.
24* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Terry Schappert is made fun of for wearing things such as leather pants, a pirate shirt, and disco shoes every time he is on the show. He largely gets away with it by [[RealMenWearPink being a former Green Beret]].
25* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Greg does this a lot, especially after he says something witty on the spot.
26* NewsParody: This is the main theme of the show.
27* OpeningMonologue: Greg starts the show with a humorous monologue about the week's biggest story.
28* ParodyCommercial: These are done very often, mostly in the form of medical commercials that remove what Greg and co. perceive as liberal bias. Tom Shillue is the actor in these pretending to be a left-winger.
29* RunningGag: Tyrus's size, Greg's height, and Kat's love life and fictional drug habits are constantly used as punchlines.
30* SeinfeldianConversation: Whether its otters, arson, or weird commercial, this show loves to talk about small stories that are for the most part pointless.
31* SideEffectsInclude: Parodied in the medical commercials where Tom ends up looking weird because the effects are irreversible.
32* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Tyrus and Greg.
33* VitriolicBestBuds: Tyrus always makes fun of Greg for saying weird things, but they generally get along.
