Gretch: As Usual, Total Support from the Guys

Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson was not amused by her co-anchors’ lack of laughter at her attempted joke. In a segment on the possibility of Oprah Winfrey being named ambassador to Great Britain by Barack Obama (if elected), a straight-faced Gretchen said, “I’ve never heard that Oprah had an interest in moving to England: you might think that Barack Obama would choose Madonna.” Silence. When Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, bewildered, began to try to respond, Gretch gamely declared, “It was a joke, guys: Talk about silence–let me try another joke on you.” Piqued, she perceptively postulated, “As usual, total support from the guys on the couch.”
