Jimmy Fallon Fawns All Over MAGA Late-Night Host Greg Gutfeld in Softball Chat
The Daily Beast ^ | August 8, 2025 | Michael Boyle

Jimmy Fallon joked and laughed his way through a Tonight Show interview with Fox News late-night rival Greg Gutfeld, who recently tried to reclaim the word “Nazi” as his own.

“In addition to Gutfeld! and The Five, you started hosting a new game show… I’m excited about this,“ Fallon said, in one of the few moments where he acknowledged what Gutfeld did for a living.

Gutfeld has courted controversy throughout his time on Fox News, such as his 2023 call for a civil war after asserting that “elections don’t work,” or his attempt in July this year to “remove the power” from the word “Nazi” by publicly referring to himself as one.

Gutfeld also mocked late-night host Stephen Colbert after his show was canceled by CBS. It made his appearance on The Tonight Show even more surprising, given that Fallon had publicly expressed his support for Colbert.

Rather than question Gutfeld about any of these issues, Fallon allowed his guest to spend the interview reminiscing about how the two of them once hung out at a party.

“We have a mutual friend named Tracy,“ Gutfeld explained about he and Fallon. ”This is about 15 years, I think."

Gutfeld told a story about how a drunken young Fallon had “run towards” him and tackled him “like a giant golden retriever.”

“You’re not making this up, I totally know what you’re talking about,” Fallon said.

When Gutfeld finished his story Fallon apologized for tackling him. Gutfeld replied, “It was great though. It was all very good-natured and it was a great memory.”

The Thursday interview marked a first appearance for Gutfeld, who is consistently outperforming other late-night hosts in the ratings, on any network late-night talk show.

Maybe when his own show gets canceled, Gutfeld will encourage Fox to hire him onto one of Gutfeld’s shows. Always think ahead.

Mr. Michael Boyle appears to have mistaken Full Loon for Fallon.

Someone should tell the DB that Fallon fawns over every guest on his show. It's nothing new.

They don’t care, because conservative = racist = Republican = Fascist = Trump = Nazi = Fox News = Greg Gutfeld.

That's fine because Fallon is actually not an ideologue.

“Yes.”

I’ve got news for them. Fallon just signed a new contract. It obviously recognizes that the Trump presidential campaign is in the past and the country wants him in the WH.

They’ll have to do a lot more being nice to the country

The subsidizing of the media by the democrat party is over. No more blm money. No more hate Trump money. PBS NOR. Colbert. Gone. No more antifa.

Actually, this is what Fallon wants.

Unlike Kimmel and Colbert, he's an actual comedian.

So he would rather not get political.

I guess this is a sign to MAGA that he's cool with you if you voted for Trump in 2024.

Because he knew Greg would eviscerate him on live TV if he attacked.

You know neither Fallon or Gutfeld is Jewish, right? And neither is Colbert.

All from Catholic families, I think.

Gutfeld is the new late night king. If you’re watch somebody else, you’re wrong. IMHO.
