Episode Structure
The show features a round table of panelists, as well as guests linked by satellite. Greg Gutfeld, with advisory from sidekick Bill Schulz and ombudsman Andy Levy, writes the daily content. The show begins with Gutfeld's introduction of his guests, which include flattering, exaggerated comparisons about each of them. These guest introductions are sometimes submitted by fans on Twitter. In contrast to his complimentary comments towards his quests, Bill Schulz is usually introduced with an insult directed at him by Gutfeld, usually "My repulsive sidekick, Bill Schulz." Other non-traditional characteristics of the show include the use of offbeat imagery, often obscure viral videos featuring animals, especially cats, during certain segments. Andy Levy, referred to as "TV's Andy Levy" or "TV's Very Own Andy Levy", acts as the show's ombudsman, appearing in the "Pregame Report", "Halftime Report w/ Andy Levy" and "Postgame Wrap-Up'" segments. Immediately after the 'Postgame Wrap-Up', Greg Gutfeld thanks his guests, offering each a short compliment; for example, "A pleasure," or "Always a delight." The exception is Bill Schulz, to whom he usually says, "Disgusting," "You disgust me," or "You suck."

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or structure:
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
