Greg Gutfeld Writes Heartfelt Tribute to Friend and ‘Profound Thinker’ Scott Adams
Greg Gutfeld of FOX News was not only friends with Scott Adams, he admired him greatly and recognized the special ability Adams had to reframe the way people thought about things.
Last week, when Adams passed away, Greg was one of the first people to share the news of his death and his feelings about him.
Rest in glorious peace, @ScottAdamsSays – you changed more lives and made the world infinitely better. God bless you and thank you for everything you did for me. We will always love you.

Today, Greg wrote an opinion piece about Adams, talking about how he came to know him at a perfect time in his life.
Here’s an excerpt from FOX News:
I came across Scott Adams accidentally, but it couldn’t have come at a better time for me.
It was around 2015 or so, and I was hot and bothered by Donald Trump.
My friends and relatives had jumped aboard the Trump train, but I resisted — and resentfully so. I had my reasons for it, no doubt. But I never question what lurked beneath those reasons. Turns out it was self-doubt — the weak armor of an insecure ego.
I found myself dreading work, and angry that nearly all my predictive powers had failed. Every day I would say, “Trump’s finished!” and he only got stronger. This wasn’t like me.
But one day on Twitter, some soul I’ll never be able to thank tweeted a simple suggestion: read Scott Adams. And, in a rare moment, I decided to heed a comment on Twitter. I googled Scott’s blog. And it changed my life.
Scott was already a world-famous cartoonist, of course — the creator of “Dilbert.” He had a pile of bestsellers.
But I knew little of that world. And I had no idea what I would discover when I entered the Scott Adams universe — a place where the most profound thinker ruled with a cup of coffee, a goofy grin and a deep understanding of moist robots — i.e. humans.
Scott loved humans, but understood the nature of their pain — caused by how little they understood the reality behind the one they took as real.
Gutfeld also paid tribute to Scott Adams on his show last week. Watch:
