Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld to Appear on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show August 7

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is set to appear on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show on August 7, marking his first guest spot on a traditional network late-night talk show. Gutfeld expressed enthusiasm for the appearance, praising Fallon for taking a risk by welcoming him, and recalling Fallon's controversial yet notable 2016 interview with President Donald Trump. Despite Gutfeld's criticism of left-leaning late-night hosts, he singled out Fallon as a 'great guy' who is willing to challenge peer expectations. This crossover comes amid ongoing tensions in late-night television, highlighted by CBS's cancellation of Stephen Colbert's Late Show and President Trump's public disputes with late-night hosts. Fallon’s show has typically leaned liberal and has faced declining ratings compared to Fox News' Gutfeld!, which has thrived in cable viewership despite a smaller budget. The episode with Gutfeld may signal a rare moment of bridging the polarized late-night landscape, underscoring the shifting dynamics in the genre.
