Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld openly praises Jimmy Fallon – BUT “HΛRSHLY SLΛMS” another famous host, sparking heated debate!

Greg Gutfeld has taken a jab at liberal late-night hosts in the midst of the drama that has unfolded since The Late Show with Stephen Colbert got cancelled.

On the Friday, Aug. 3 segment of Gutfeld!, the 60-year-old host highlighted his upcoming appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

While praising the NBC host, he will join the stage with him later this week, he made a dig at Stephen. He started, “While Colbert interviews a l0s3r, Jimmy Fallon invites a winner,” referencing the hosts’ recent interview with Kamala Harris, where the former vice president avoided a question regarding Joe Biden’s “disaster” election debate.

Greg continued, “Yes, I’ll be appearing on The Tonight Show next Thursday.”

“It’s the biggest crossover since the Harlem Globetrotters visited The Golden Girls,” he said.

The Fox News anchor went on to praise Jimmy: “Fallon seems like a great, genuine guy who wants to make people laugh instead of putting them to bed angrier than The View at a salad bar.”

After that, he made a sly remark about the other late-night hosts, saying, “And unlike the other guys, Jimmy sitting with me proves he’s not afraid of upsetting his peers or afraid of my mesmerizing charm.”

To add to his point, he referenced Jimmy’s previous 2016 interview with Donald TrVmp, which occurred in the midst of his first presidential campaign.

“Remember, he was d3str0yed for humanizing TrVmp by messing up his hair,” Gutfeld said. “The angry mob wanted a brutal takedown, but Jimmy did something different.

“He had fun, which is criminal to the liberal hive mind,” Greg claimed. “And so Fallon was eviscerated, an example of the media teaching everyone a lesson that ‘if you dare h::manize H1tler, we’ll deh::manize you.’

“But it’s a different time now. Things are changing. Maybe we can have fun with each other, even if politically we’re different,” he concluded.

The host’s comments come just after the late-night hosts came together to defend Stephen after his show was cancelled.

Rumors speculate the reason for the axe has to do with a comment Stephen made about President TrVmp just three days before the news was announced.

Taking down Paramount with the president, the host openly criticized he company for their $16 million settlement on a lawsuit the president filed over the way a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris was edited in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

Commenting on the issue, Stephen said, “I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles: it’s ‘big, fat bribe.’”
