Greg Gutfeld, a prominent figure on FOX News, has become a significant presence in late-night television. Known for his show "Gutfeld!" and previously "Red Eye," he has attracted attention from both conservative viewers and now the broader media landscape. Variety, a major entertainment news outlet, recently published an extensive profile on Gutfeld, highlighting his impact on the late-night scene.
The profile explores how Gutfeld has outpaced well-known competitors like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel in viewership. The article notes that Gutfeld's unique approach sets him apart as he combines humor with commentary, appealing to a growing audience at FOX News.
In the profile, Gutfeld is compared to Bill Maher of Fox News, emphasizing his role in challenging conventional narratives. His influence was particularly noted during the 2024 presidential campaign when he interviewed former President Trump before a live studio audience.
Gutfeld critiques his peers for avoiding controversial topics, stating: “The more Howard Stern had to lose, the less risk he took... They had four years of an incapacitated president, and they didn’t say shit." He suggests that while others focus on predictable content, his show offers something different.
The Variety piece positions Gutfeld as a breakout star within FOX News. It describes how he seamlessly transitions between late-night comedy and daytime talk shows like "The Five."
Gutfeld’s rise reflects changing dynamics in late-night television where traditional approaches are being challenged by new voices like his own.
