Popular Fox News personality and nighttime host Greg Gutfeld mocked the ‘mainstream’ media for the way in which several outlets reported that former President Donald Trump said “some people” at the network wrote jokes for him ahead of the Al Smith charity dinner last week.

Trump attended the dinner on Thursday, an event where the two major party candidates roast each other and other guests every four years. Vice President Kamala Harris chose not to attend, becoming the first presidential candidate to snub the event since Walter Mondale — another Democrat — in 1984.

During the dinner, the former president poked fun at White Dudes for Harris, Sen. Chuck Schumer, former President Barack Obama, and New York Mayor Eric Adams, among others.

During an in-person appearance on “Fox & Friends” morning show on Friday, Trump was asked by co-host Steve Doocy about the jokes.

“Your material was real funny, who wrote it?” he inquired.

“Well, I’ve had a lot of people helping, a lot of people,” Trump responded. “A couple of people from Fox, actually. I shouldn’t say that, but they wrote some jokes, and for the most part, I didn’t like any of them, right?”

A number of media outlets reported Trump’s remarks, but not long afterward, Fox issued a statement of denial: “FOX News confirmed that no employee or freelancer wrote the jokes.”

Gutfeld took verbal shots at the media during Friday’s “The Five” program for reporting what Trump said without bothering to fact-check with the network first.

“The best part was the meltdown over the speech,” he said. “Trump said somebody at Fox helped him write the jokes. Wasn’t true. It was a comedian who sends me riffs on my monologue. And these left-wing housebound auditors on social media put on their reporter caps, thought they had a Watergate scandal they were breaking.”

Gutfeld added: “Their whole career is based on moments of another person’s actual career. While we have fun, they wet their couches. At some point, you should revisit the trajectory of your life if your dopamine is dependent on what you think other people have done.”
