Fox News late-night host Greg Gutfeld announced his upcoming book, The King of Late Night, which shares his journey to becoming the top host in late-night television. The book is set to release on July 25th. Gutfeld is approaching his second anniversary as the host of Gutfeld!, which happens on April 5th.
During the reveal of the book cover, Gutfeld expressed his excitement, stating that it was “awesome.” The exterior features a muscular rendition of himself towering over popular late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon. Gutfeld is also shown holding his beloved dog, while liberal competitors such as former MSNBC anchor Brian Williams and ex-CNN host Brian Stelter are depicted in the background.
Gutfeld humorously recounts his rise to fame in the book, including never-before-shared stories about his early career, going up against the liberal media, and flipping the script on the comedy landscape. He explains how he turned a throwaway time slot show in the middle of the night, Redeye, into a cult classic, leading to his appearances on The Five and eventually landing his late-night spot with millions of viewers each night.
Gutfeld! has seen significant growth since its launch, with double-digit gains in all categories and an increase in its share of the late-night audience from 19% to 28%. It has surpassed competitors like ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and has the highest median income with viewers aged 25-54 and 18-49. It’s also the number one late-night program with upscale viewers (100k+) in viewership and the younger demographic.
According to Fox News, in the most recent quarter at 11 PM/ET, Gutfeld! has maintained its lead over several of its late-night broadcast competitors, drawing in over 1.9 million viewers and 301,000 viewers in the A25-54 demographic. As Greg Gutfeld approaches his second year as a late-night television host (April 5th), his show outperforms ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (1.5 million P2+) and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (1.4 million P2+) in terms of viewership.
