Hapless host Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show is losing the ratings war to FOX News rival Greg Gutfeld — and the TV flop’s sinking number has left NBC brass with buyer’s remorse, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Nearly 19 months after the Peacock Network handed Fallon a whopping $80 million five-year contract extension, The Tonight Show is drawing under 1.3 million eyeballs — less than half the audience of upstart Gutfeld!
But that number is even more shocking when compared to Fallon’s celebrated debut! The Saturday Night Live alum, 48, chalked up an impressive 11 million viewers when he first took over for outgoing legend Jay Leno — but now he’s also being bested in the ratings by Stephen Colbert’s CBS Late Show!
A source said NBC regrets the funnyman’s pricey long-term deal and added, “The network knows the days are gone when tens of millions of people would tune in for The Tonight Show — but they were counting on Jimmy to do better than this!”

Saul Alinsky’s Rule 5 states ““Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
From that point of view Gutfeld may be the most iconoclastic media personality extant
Absolutely spot on
Even worse for Fallon, Gutfeld keeps getting better every week.
Jerry Seinfeld had him on his ‘comedians getting coffee” show and he had to help Fallon thru-out the show. Fallon was not funny, could not ad-lib. Just a giggling fool. I bet he smokes lots of marijuana.
