Fox News late night host Greg Gutfeld will be a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show,” marking the libertarian-leaning on-air persona’s first appearance on a traditional network late-night talk show.
His debut guest appearance is scheduled for the Thursday, August 7 episode, NBC spokesperson Eve Kenny confirmed.
Gutfeld is the host of Fox News’ late-night “Gutfeld!” which debuted in April 2021 and has found success, averaging 3.29 million viewers, according to Late Nighter.
The comedian and political commentator has long criticized late-night hosts like Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel. But he expressed a soft spot for Fallon during a Thursday, July 31 episode of the Fox News conservative cable hit “The Five.”
“I’m psyched about it because Fallon comes across as a great guy, nice guy,” Gutfeld told his co-hosts. “Also me going on his show shows him that he’s not worried about upsetting his peers.”
He then recalled President Donald Trump’s guest appearance on the “Tonight Show” ahead of the 2016 election, in which Fallon was scrutinized for “humanizing Trump” after tousling his hair for a comedic bit.
“But it didn’t come from anybody but the people on the left who wanted to teach all entertainers a lesson that if you dare show that Trump is a human, then you’re toast,” he added. “And so it’s kind of nice that he’s taken this risk.”
Fallon is among Trump’s late-night foes
Though its unclear what Fallon and Gutfeld will discuss during the episode, the talk show crossover comes after Trump’s public squabble with several late night hosts following CBS’ cancellation of the “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
Trump celebrated the cancelation on Truth Social July 18 writing “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.”
Colbert addressed the post in his July 21 episode monologue saying: “How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go (expletive) yourself.”
The president later made a jab at Kimmel, insinuating that his show would be the next to end before taking aim at Fallon.
“The word is, and it’s a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, (Jimmy) Fallon will be gone,” Trump wrote on a July 22 Truth Social post.
Fallon participated in the beef by zeroing in on Trump’s former relationship with deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi had reportedly told the president that he was named multiple times in the government’s files.
“Well, guys, the big story continues to be President Trump’s handling of the Epstein files, and now newly uncovered footage shows that Jeffrey Epstein attended Trump’s second wedding in 1993,” Fallon said. “You had the bride, the groom, the groomer.”
