CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, leading to speculation about politically motivated reasons tied to President Trump's critiques. Some believe the decision was financial, stating that liberal content in late-night shows contributes to lowering ratings. An episode of The Tonight Show featuring Greg Gutfeld raised discussions about catering to conservatives. Gutfeld! shows notable success among its target audience, and his appearance on Fallon’s show is seen as NBC’s attempt to appeal to conservative viewers despite potential backlash.
Greg Gutfeld, host of Fox News's wildly popular late-night show Gutfeld!, was featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, yukking it up with Fallon like the pair were old pals.
Despite his success, Gutfeld's appearance on The Tonight Show is the first time he's been invited onto any of the big-network late-night shows since his own show debuted in 2021.
The benefits, the network evidently calculated, outweigh any potential backlash stemming from Gutfeld's history of controversial jokes and remarks.
Gutfeld himself referred to the booking as a 'risk.'
