As a hard-working American kicking back after a long day, you know better than to tune into the legacy media's late-night TV shows for a laugh; these days, those shows are more of a showcase of ramblings from the mentally disturbed than anything approaching comedy.
On Thursday night, though, the usual one-sided jabs at conservatives will be no match for Greg Gutfeld's razor-sharp wit when he appears on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon."
Gutfeld teased the appearance earlier this week, saying that "while Colbert interviews a loser," referring to Kamala Harris, "Jimmy Fallon invites a winner."
Gutfeld’s appearance isn’t just a guest spot; it’s a cultural turning point, a signal that viewers are hungry for entertainment that respects all perspectives.
Gutfeld's blend of humor and unapologetic conservatism has made him a ratings juggernaut. His late-night show on Fox News, "Gutfeld!" averages 3.29 million viewers, trouncing The Tonight Show’s 1.188 million, Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s 1.772 million, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s 2.417 million in Q2 2025.
Fallon knows inviting Gutfeld risks the wrath of his liberal peers, who still haven’t forgiven him for “humanizing” Donald Trump in 2016 by tousling his hair.
Back then, the left scolded Fallon for daring to treat a conservative like a person, not a punching bag. By booking Gutfeld, Fallon is doubling down, showing he’s unafraid to challenge the suffocating conformity of late-night TV.
But it’s also a calculated play to tap into Gutfeld’s massive audience and boost his ratings. More than that, it’s a rare act of courage in an industry that often punishes deviation from the script.
Gutfeld’s appearance joins a proud legacy of conservatives stealing the spotlight on mainstream TV, moments that prove wit and principle can cut through the noise.
Here are my top five conservative TV moments, with Gutfeld’s debut holding its own among giants:
Woods, playing himself, delivered a biting cameo that poked fun at his firebrand acting while showing Hollywood could laugh with the right, not just at it. With the running gag of him getting caught with Oh, a piece of candy on the ground till he enters a wooden box to be trapped.
Gutfeld’s appearance tonight will undoubtedly bring his unapologetic satire to NBC, a network long dominated by liberal gatekeepers, proving that conservative humor can cross enemy lines.
Breitbart’s fearless clash with Maher’s panel turned a hostile stage into a platform for conservative ideas, showcasing his refusal to back down. Which is also where Breitbart told the story about how Seth MacFarlane talked to his son for 10 minutes doing various voices from Family Guy.
Limbaugh’s cartoon cameo, in which he goes to dinner at the Griffin home, blended his larger-than-life ethos with humor, reaching millions beyond his radio base with charm and conviction.
Nixon’s iconic “Sock it to me!” line humanized a polarizing figure, proving conservatives could charm mainstream audiences with a single, well-timed quip.
Gutfeld’s walking in Nixon’s footsteps, bringing conservative swagger to a stage that’s been off-limits for too long. His appearance isn’t just a win for him—it’s a victory for every viewer who’s tired of late-night’s predictable playbook. It’s a reminder that entertainment should unite, not divide, and that ideas, not agendas, deserve the spotlight. So tonight we should all tune in to see Gutfeld shake up The Tonight Show. Cheer for Fallon’s bold move, and let networks know Americans want more than one-sided comedy. This is our chance to demand a late-night world where every voice gets a laugh, and where the battle for fair, funny TV gets the last word.
