Houseboys

Although Greg Gutfeld is married, another running joke on the show is the fact that Greg has "houseboys" of various ethnicities. These houseboys are unpaid, and are acquired through advertisements in foreign papers for students wishing to "learn a skill abroad." Some houseboys are said to have suffered an untimely demise. Popular houseboys from the past include "Dat Ho," allegedly Vietnamese, "Julio," intentionally mispronounced "Julie-Oh" with a j-sound, and the Greek "Pilates." Occasionally, the houseboy reference is altered to that of a "pool boy." Greg is always clear that every houseboy that he employs is over the age of 18, although the veracity of his claims is always subject to mirthful skepticism from the panelists.

Rachel Marsden's departure

On Wednesday, May 30, 2007, regular "Red Eye" panelist Rachel Marsden was removed from the show and escorted out of the "Red Eye" offices by security guards, which Marsden alleged is standard procedure when a Fox employee is fired. [ [http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/220115 TheStar.com | entertainment | Toronto columnist Marsden ousted from Fox News ] ] , [ [http://www.brooksbulletin.com/news/entertainment.asp?itemid=63115 Brooks Alberta Entertainment News - The Brooks Bulletin ] ] On her blog, Marsden, said, "I will no longer be appearing on the show, as I have been told that it is heading in a 'different direction' from its inception and I am the 'first casualty.' As a political and news commentator, being a panelist on what had become a totally off-the-wall-and-into-orbit show was an interesting experience. It was also the first time that I was ever considered the 'sane one' on any program, so I am grateful for that unique opportunity and wish the boys the very best of luck.'" [ [http://www.rachelmarsden.com Rachel Marsden - Official Website ] ] Her last appearance on the show was the May 30, 2007, episode at 2 a.m.

Legal issues

Following the first weeks of the program, the "Chicago Tribune" filed suit against News Corporation, the company which owns Fox News Channel, alleging that the show's title could be confused with the "Tribune"'s free commuter daily, "RedEye", launched in 2002. [cite news | title = News Corp. sued over `Red Eye' use | publisher = Chicago Tribune | date = 2007-02-17 | url = http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-0702170083feb17,0,4737838.story?coll=chi-bizfront-hed | accessdate = 2007-03-10] FNC has admitted it did not run a trademark check prior to naming the program and changed the title of the show's section of the FoxNews.com website from "Red Eye" to "Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld".
