Thursday night’s Gutfeld was guest hosted by comedian Tom Shillue, who frequently contributes shorts to the show. Shillue impersonates President Joe Biden as well as U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA).
Schiff was booted from the House Intel Committee by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) this week. In what seemed like an ironic move, Schiff also posted his first TikTok after being removed from the committee.
Shillue introduced his skit “Up Schiff’s Creek” with, “Schiff got kicked to the curb and the irony is superb. He went crying to mommy on an app ran by Chinese commies. Congressman Adam Schiff announced this morning he’s running for U.S. Senate in California, which is guaranteed to boost U-haul rentals headed for Texas. “
“He unveiled the highly polished and produced political ad right on the heels of getting booted from the House Intel Committee, coincidence I think not,” Shillue added. He continued to recap Schiff’s removal from the committee over “national security concerns”.
He then showed Schiff’s first-ever TikTok, in which the congressman complains about being removed from the intel committee for “doing my job, holding Trump accountable”.
Shillue pointed out the blatant irony in Schiff’s move. He then pondered, “I wonder what other video’s he’s made.”
He then plays two faux TixTok videos of himself impersonating Schiff.
In the first video, he portrays Schiff singing “Popular” from the musical Wicked captioned, “Adam Schiff find out he will be chair of the impeachment hearings”. In the next video he impersonates Schiff lipsyncing “made you look” by Meghan Trainor. The fake TikTok account is titled @neckpencil.

Schiff is running for a Senate seat that has been occupied by Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) which she has held for over 30 years. Feinstein has not announced she plans to retire. Katie Porter threw her hat into the race earlier this month.
Feinstein is 89 and has held the seat since 1992, from reports she doesn’t plan to make up her mind if she will run again or not until 2024.
