it is a question only you and many millions like you can answer. i would help but i'm busy with other stuff. it is time to go. it has been eight years. it was nearly a decade ago that fox news took a chance and gave me a gorgeous freak a show called "red eye." they found me through the huffington post through andrew breitbart. the show aired eight years ago. it should have been canceled seven years and nine months ago. what were they thinking hiring a right wing wino fixated on unicorns and troubled flight attendants. i was terrified and still john moody said here is a show pick your staff. he is a genius or nuts, perhaps both. roger ales trusted me. i will never forget it. everyone i picked to work here were weird, really weird like me. bill schulz. a cross between peter pan and a bed pan. he was a funny strange thing. and then andy levey a poorly dressed shut in with two cats. he stuck around like a foul but talented odor. but we kept at the show every night and it got better bit by bit. the lesson, if you keep doing something over and over and over again you can't help but improve. not at first. it took awhile. we had some problems. first there was our lack of talent and then of course our lack of talent but then more than a few inco hairpt -- inco hairpt guests drunk and the so on. what kept it going was the fans who saw something in this weird creature called "red eye." i said it before. loving "red eye" is a three-step process. revolion confusion and then obsession. the fans understood that the show upon discovery appears infantile, self-indulgent in craft and then at times certain elements strike you as smart or unconventional and then there is shear confusion and then you find it makes sense and that creates the obsession. our fans are the best, but so are our guests. my mom was a regular, one of the first. she saved -- shaved? she saved our butts on many a crappy and she shaved them later. we made my mom the senior correspondent. of course there is odorous-urangus. he was our inner planet terry correspondent and we had a death correspondent in michael boden, mike baker, allison rosen, sherrod small, tucker carlson, they have helped this show along. by the second year "red eye" became a great show. before it was odd but then it became subversive and then it was a smart vehicle for chaos. it was unpredictable and troubling, but never, ever boring. i dare you to find one boring moment excluding this one. you will find awful ones but never boring ones. i love this show as if it were my stunted half brother guner, seen here who was taken by a maid. i will still be here leaving "red eye," but working on" the five" and working on something for the weekend. i hope it is a lover boy tribute band. i am leaving and the show is definitely going on. i guarantee you that "red eye" will be different and that can only be a good thing. so joining me on my last show are joanne nosuchunsky tv's andy levey and we are lucky to have one of the earliest champions tucker carlson with long-time "red eye" favorite mike baker. >> a block. the lede. that's the first story. >> should we sweat about the net? >> whoa, whoa, whoa. you are just going to go into a story like this is a normal show? what is wrong with you? we are not doing that. we get crap because we don't celebrate anything. do something special. >> let's pretend that this was impromptu. slept acting -- excellent acting andy. >> thanks, buddy. >> let's take a look back, andy. i guess you can start from the beginning. here is how the show began at 2:00 a.m. eastern in 2007. the same day i got my braces off. have a look, look havers. ♪ >> this is "red eye" a new show about politics pop culture and macramay. it is like larry king but without the dead guy. we are here with rachel barsden, bill schulz, andrew breitbart and i am rita cosby. actually i am greg gutfeld. this is our first show and we will talk about porn. >> yes, it started with porn. our story selection has matured since then. here is a clip from a great philosophical debate we had a few months ago. >> would you look down with scorn if your daughter did porn? >> i was mistaken. porn has always been a regular part. andy, you have to say we have come a long way since that first show. >> we have come away. it is perfect that we have tucker here tonight and we are talking about porn in our first show. there is another clip from that show. can we roll it? >> my porn name is tucker carlson. >> wait wait. can you reload that? reload that please right now. i know it takes time but we have to see that and show that. prees it please. >> my porn name by the way is tucker carlton. >> i was at a radiohead tribute band. this show is about you. i don't want to make this about me. i am not comfortable with that. we have changed. i think we kept some of the stuff from the beginning, but we have definitely gotten a little more professional and i know maybe that is not always good. >> you can't be the same every day. little things -- and you try new things and you forget that you tried them. and then you keep doing them over and over and over again. until people get sick of them. and then you get rid of them and people write to you and say why did you get rid of it? the same people that hated it want it to come back. by the way we should thank -- it hasn't been andy and us and the girls -- and the girl over there. we had two people here -- everybody asks who is laughing. that is matt. leave your camera. come over here. you can do that? matt because of your skin color i can't even see you. look at that. there you r. and of course there is jack. jack mics us up. he has been doing this for eight years. go away now. so anyway -- i have something in my eye. i am not crying. you were on the eighth show? >> yes, show number eight all of those years ago. and i am being sincere and i am not often sincere on this show because i don't pay a lot of attention -- >> but you tend to ram bell on. >> it has been a wonderful experience working with you. i loved every show and every opportunity and these guys too. with greg honest to god, it has been a real pleasure. i would like to apologize because there have been times over the years when i have said words that i probably shouldn't have said. >> baker, you are getting a segment later. >> even the new girl is tired of you. >> anything before we move on? anything you want to say? >> yeah, since mike opened the sincerity dam let me keep going. i am never sincere. i am a wholly phony person. the three things i noticed are one your ability to gather talented people around you and share the credit for the show. you are an amazing talent. >> i do do that. >> you are a great talent scout. you recognize talented people and that is a rare quality. second, a lot of the show is ad libbed. the scripts are great but you make up a lot on the fly. >> you watch carefully? >> intoxicated but i watch. and therd you never patronize the viewers. you act as if they are as smart and funny as you r. >> oh. >> they are not. >> you patronize the [bleep] out of guests. >> we will get that in the b-box. we patronize a lot of guests. >> can we reshow -- we have a clip of tucker. can we roll that? >> he told me that he didn't have enough money to stabilize his family working for the teacher so he had to work in the summer painting houses. >> here is more tucker carlson than tucker carlson. >> we go to the same barber. >> did you look like that when you were younger? >> i have always had shaggy hair because the ladies like it. >> he is lucky if he gross up to look -- grows up to look like you. you have a boyish demeanor. >> i have had a ton of work done. i am 57. i am not kidding. it is expensive. >> we want to talk about guests. those who found us in the first year probably remember there were lots of hits and misses mostly misses. did weird stuff and had off beat guests including one guy named adam bomb who almost got all of us fired. thank god nobody watched the show. roll clip. >> because if you get bitch slapped, you're the bitch. >> thank you adam bomb for being here. say goodbye. >> yeah! rock and roll. >> the alarm is going off. thank you, adam. all right everybody, stick around. we have more to come. >> you know when you are doing a show you are smiling and laughing, but it is a complete lie. at that moment i am escorted out of the building and fire codes and everything is violated. that [bleep] just cot me my job and i was only at it not quite that long. i was terrified. >> i remember i came out of the newsroom after the show and your face was as white as tucker carlson's. it was unbelieve -- it was unbelievable. i think we went out that night because we were all afraid to go home. we have to stay together until we find out what will happen. >> the best thing was i go to a bar and i wait there for the producer shelly. we will figure out what are we going to do? what is going to happen? she said i don't know. i have a meeting with this guy who is in charge of the building. and then adam bomb is like, dude let's party. i'm talking to his late wife who passed away a wonderful woman. i don't ever want to see him again. she said what happened? i said he cost me my job. the best part about it is i'm assuming we are all fired. the next day not a peep. not a peep. nobody at fox watches "red eye." >> you probably just screwed up by showing it now. >> now i am going to get fired. >> you noy that weekend thing? >> yeah, adam bomb. i have to say this though, in his defense. he was probably right and we were wrong in that that was a great thing to do, but he should have told us and we would have been prepared. i would have said no, but he should have tommed -- told us. i admit people like that but you don't do it in a newsroom. it could have turned on the sprinklers and everybody would have had to leave and fox news would have had to shutdown. >> you are still upset by it. >> really upset. adam bomb almost destroyed this place. there was another guy on the other end of the spectrum. he was the lead singer of guar and he was our inner planet terry correspondent. take a look. >> do you have styling tips for other low levels like myself? >> set fire to your face and let the fire department put it out with an axe. >> you heat earth, don't you? >> i despise it and love it at the same time. the earth is the only place in the galaxy that has cracks. there is an article that says there are no good band names left. do you think that is true? >> absolutely knock liquor biscuit, chuck nugget. >> i'm wondering if you have anybody in your life because she is mesmerized by you one of the ladies onset. >> that's why they wouldn't let me come to new york. they were afraid you girls would just fall in love with me. >> too late. >> you are really hot. >> greg, you would think my face looks a little shiny tonight? >> i think it looks great. >> make up! >> well done, my friend. >> of course he passed away last year, but in my mind he will be one of the best guests "red eye" has ever had. were you ever on the show with him? >> no, never on the show with him. >> you know he only wore a thong under his -- so the best thing was he was on the first time with father jonathon. it was father jonathon's first time on "red eye." so when he sat down he has a thong and his sweaty ass is on these chairs. father jonathon walks in and there is a disgusting puddle. we had to stop and wipe it down. that rag by the way, had to be burned. guy scaws me father -- >> excuse me, father, let us just wipe up the ass sweat. >> o de rous was the right name. >> we had some great drinking experiences with him after the show. stuff i can't really mention because -- no. i will say this, if you went out with him and got drunk with him chances are whatever you talked about would end up in a press release. he wrote his own press releases. he used to burn things in effigy. not burn them, but destroy them. we would get letters from people that said did you see what president obama? did you see what he did to sara pay lynn sph it was -- sarah palin. they did lots of things. i remember taking him to a bar. we got wasted on 9th avenue. i said because of what you did for one of your shows i am getting a lot of letters. can i not have you on for a month or six weeks and people will forget. then we are drinking and then two days later he -- no, it why did he do that?

i did my homework and i looked you up. >> did you really? >> i d -- i did. >> did you see the picture of this guy? >> i am going to kill myself now. >> chris, you asked isn't the whole point of social media -- i don't even need to say anything. >> chris has endured deck i had cays of homophobia but this was more insulting. >> i think it was great nick foley decided to do research and checkup on the guests. by the way i don't know what show it was we had a guest on that had the same name roger simon, and there were two roger simon. who ever wrote the intro wrote it based on a different roger simon. there is a writer and there is another guy -- >> politico. >> we had the roger -- i don't remember who we had. >> also nick foley, one of the nicest guys in the world and he felt really, really bad. we felt bad for him because he was so upset. >> speaking of upset, brooke goldstein as what we call the brassiest human rights activist. she is preaching except when she is violently assaulting me. >> if i want to be a sailor can't i just be a sailor?

many things. first time we had her on the show she -- well put it this way. she is the type of girl that can start a fight in the bar and win the fight. >> she is pretty ferocious. >> she usually brings a machete. >> at that moment brooke was everyone in the room's hero. >> while evil vindictive guests like brooke threatened my life others posed a danger to themselves. isn't that right, gavin?
