The show previously aired on Saturday and Sunday nights at 10:00 P.M. ET under the title The Greg Gutfeld Show from its release on May 31, 2015 until July 31, 2021. In February 2021, Gutfeld announced that the show would move to weeknights at 11:00 P.M. ET.[1] In March 2021, Gutfeld revealed that the weekday edition of the show would premiere on Monday, April 5, under the new title Gutfeld!. The first weekday episode of the show aired on April 5, 2021, and the final weekend episode aired on July 31, 2021.[2]

In August 2021, Gutfeld! overtook The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the nightly ratings, becoming the highest-rated late-night talk show in the United States. As of August 2021, It averages 2.12 million nightly viewers, more than The Late Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[3]

When breaking news interrupts, Gutfeld! is replaced with an additional hour of Fox News @ Night.

Format

The show was modeled after traditional late-night talk shows, with the opening segment beginning with the host delivering a monologue, followed by the cast performing comedy sketches, and concluding with Gutfeld interviewing two guests, who are typically comedians, political commentators and Fox News personalities, along with show regulars Kat Timpf (a libertarian writer and blogger) and Tyrus (a professional wrestler and former bodyguard for celebrities).[4][5][6]

When asked how he was discovered for the show, Tyrus said, "I was just messing around on Twitter one day and I said to Greg about one of the jokes on his show, 'I got it. It took me a minute but I got it.' He said, 'You know I've watched you. You're a pretty funny guy. Have you ever thought about coming on and doing the show?' I was like, 'Are you serious?!' He was like, 'Yeah, I'll give you a shot.'"[7]

As mentioned earlier, the show typically begins with Gutfeld performing a monologue, usually satirical or simply poking fun at current events. He then introduces his guests. They discuss the evening's topics in a lighthearted way, focusing more on humor rather than rigorous political debate.

Cast

The cast of Gutfeld! currently includes Greg Gutfeld, journalist Kat Timpf, TNA wrestler Tyrus, Fox News contributor Gene Nelson, and stand-up comedians Tom Shillue, Joe Machi, and Joe DeVito. Joanne Nosuchinsky was also a cast member from 2015 to 2016.
