NBC has announced that Greg Gutfeld will appear as a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, August 7, 2025. Gutfeld, known for his sharp, conservative humor and confrontational style, often critiques network late-night hosts like Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel, labeling them as predictable liberal voices.
According to LateNighter.com. Gutfeld’s booking suggests either an effort to diversify guest perspectives or a strategic move to boost ratings with a high-profile figure.
Since its debut in April 2021, Gutfeld! on Fox News has combined monologue commentary with panel discussions, blending politics and comedy. It leads cable TV in total viewers at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT and frequently tops cable news in the 25–54 demographic, often outdrawing broadcast late-night shows.
🚨 GREG GUTFELD: “I am doing Jimmy Fallon next week and I’m psyched about it. Fallon comes across as a great guy. And me going on his show shows he's not worried about upsetting his peers.”

This marks Gutfeld’s first network talk show appearance since guesting on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee in 2016, before launching his own program.
Gutfeld will be the second guest, following the Jonas Brothers, who return to the show for the first time since 2023. Good Charlotte is slated as the musical guest.
The comedian and political pundit has long criticized late-night hosts like Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel. But he expressed a soft spot for Fallon during a Thursday, July 31 episode of the Fox News conservative cable hit "The Five."
