The Controversial Coffee Request

In a shocking turn of events, comedian Tyler Fischer, known for his appearances on Fox News' "Gutfeld!", alleges that the network has abruptly banned him due to what he calls a "woke crime"—simply asking a female employee out for coffee. Fischer claims that this innocent gesture was met with serious repercussions when the employee reportedly felt uncomfortable enough to summon security.

Tyler Fischer Speaks Out

On April 16, Fischer took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration: "After almost 2 years, I will no longer be on @Gutfeldfox. Sadly, they have gone full woke and kicked me off for a completely unbelievable reason," he wrote. He stands firm in his belief that asking someone out isn't against Fox News protocols, stating, "In the woke mind virus world, any advance by a man is labeled as some kind of toxic masculinity.”

Allegations of Unfair Treatment

Fischer also criticized Fox News for compensating rotating guests "ZERO," despite the hard work and effort they put into each episode. He claims they are treated more like interns than professional comedians.

Details of the Incident

According to anonymous sources, Fischer's interaction with the female staffer took place in January 2025 at the network's New York headquarters. Reports indicate that Fischer took the woman's phone and entered his number, demanding she confirm she received it. This invasive move was described as "not friendly," prompting the staffer to alert security, which led to Fischer being "escorted off the floor." Prior to this incident, Fischer had been a frequent guest on the show, making 15 appearances.

Fischer's New Project

Interestingly, on January 20, 2025, the same day as President Trump's inauguration, Fox Nation released Fischer's special, "No Pardon Needed With Tyler Fischer." This 45-minute satirical show, performed at Joe Rogan’s comedy club in Austin, Texas, featured his sharp impersonations of prominent political figures and offered a humorous lens on current events.

A Rising Star?

Fox News previously lauded Fischer as a "rising star" in the comedy scene, highlighting his ability to blend political satire with cultural commentary. As Fischer navigates the fallout from this incident, he continues to tour the nation, hoping to connect with audiences once more.

Ghosted by the Network

In his online statement, Fischer lamented the lack of communication following his ban: "After being canceled, I have reached out to people at the TV show for months, and they have completely ghosted me." It seems his comedic journey has taken an unexpected and tumultuous turn.
