Fox News host Greg Gutfeld has revealed he’s going to be appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon next week, and he knows it’s a large risk for his competitor.
“I am doing Jimmy Fallon next week. I’m psyched about it because Fallon comes across as a great guy,” Gutfeld said while appearing on The Five on Thursday. “And me going on his show shows he’s not worried about upsetting his peers.”
The comments about Jimmy Fallon coming from Greg Gutfeld are on the heels of many late-night hosts showing solidarity with CBS’s Stephen Colbert after the network revealed it would be ending The Late Show next year. In the midst of the support of Colbert, Gutfeld was conspicuously absent.
Gutfeld went on to praise Fallon for his work interviewing President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election.
“Remember, he got a lot of stick for ‘humanizing’ Trump when he tousled his hair, but it didn’t come from anybody but the people on the left who wanted to teach all entertainers a lesson that if you dare show that Trump is a human, then you’re toast,” Gutfeld said. “And so it’s kind of nice that’s he’s taking this risk.”
An NBC spokesperson has revealed that Gutfeld will appear on The Tonight Show on the Thursday, August 7th episode. Jimmy Fallon has yet to comment publicly on the news that Gutfeld will serve as a guest on his program.
