BREAKING: Gutfeld THREΛTENS Fox News– “CHANGE or LOSE your viewers!”
Gutfeld weighs in on the ‘d3ath’ of late-night TV: The way out is no p0l1t1cs
In a candid segment on Fox News, Greg Gutfeld and fellow hosts tackled the downfall of p0l1t1cally-charged late-night talk shows. The discussion centered around Stephen Colbert’s fir1ng by ABC, which Samantha Bee called “a no-brainer,” citing financial losses and declining audience interest.
Jesse Watters pinpointed the root problem as a lack of viewpoint diversity, referencing shows like The View, which featured 102 liberal guests this year — and not a single conservative.
Gutfeld argued that this isn’t the d3ath knell for late-night, but rather an opportunity to break free from p0litical constraints. He advocated for a return to ap0litical entertainment in the vein of Johnny Carson or Jay Leno. Gutfeld announced that he’ll appear on Jimmy Fallon’s show, praising Fallon’s willingness to “take a risk” despite prior backlash for humanizing Donald Trvmp.
Kennedy added that the current model is outdated, expensive, and fueled by entitlement. Meanwhile, Martha MacCallum quoted Johnny Carson’s philosophy: “If I go p0l1t1cal, I lose half the audience.”
The panel agreed: if late-night shows want to survive, they must rediscover the joy — and neutrality — of real entertainment.
