For Those Of You Who Said Red Eye Would Move To Glenn Beck's 5PM Slot: You're Almost Right

Not Red Eye, which will continue being the dream for insomniacs (where?), but Gutfeld will join a show called "The Five," which will feature Juan Williams, Monica Crowley, Dana Perino and Bob Beckel.

Update: I think Mediaite had it wrong, and I followed them in being wrong. Although there will be five yappers every day, it won't be those five yappers, but rather a revolving crew of...

reg Gutfeld, Juan Williams, Dana Perino, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Geraldo Rivera, Andrea Tantaros, Eric Bolling, Monica Crowley, Bob Beckel and Kimberly Guilfoyle. The program will also feature added guests, including politicians, celebrities, sports figures and key newsmakers.

So Gutfeld will be on now and again, but not a permanent fixture.

Oh dear. Brit Hume sure had a field day making Juan Williams his punching bag. Gutfeld must be licking his chops.

The key to Hume's success is not piling on too much because Juan Williams is a clown and it begins to look unsporting if you rough him up too much.

I suggest a lot of work with the eyes and tongue -- just glance over directly into the camera, with an innocent blink, and tongue in cheek, when Juan says something stupid, which should be every three or four minutes.

Most of the time you don't have to use the word "dumbass" to communicate the word "dumbass."
