Fox's 'Greg Gutfeld Show' Tops In late Night TV

"The Greg Gutfeld Show" on Fox News finished April with an average of 2.86 million viewers, marking its highest ratings in program history while topping broadcast late-night rivals on CBS, NBC and ABC, according to The Hill citing Nielsen Media Research.

The weekly Saturday night program topped Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" on CBS, which averaged 2.78 million viewers. It also beat NBC's "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" and its 2.09 million viewers as well as ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" which averaged 2 million viewers in April.

The numbers are noteworthy since Saturdays are generally the least-watched nights of television, along with Fridays.

The former "Men's Health" editor launched his 10 p.m. Saturday show in May 2015.

Ratings are up across the board in cable news amid the pandemic, with many Americans still under stay-at-home orders as some states slowly reopen their respective economies.

Fox News, MSNBC and CNN finished first, second and third in all of basic cable for the second consecutive month in April, the first time that has ever occurred.
