A conservative appeared on a late-night network TV show, and a writer at Vulture is losing his mind over it. Fox News talk show host Greg Gutfeld recently appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s 'Tonight Show' on NBC. One conservative guest after several years of nothing but Democrats is too much! Now, according to the writer, rings must be kissed or late-night television will die!
Sure, that's it. (READ)
‘The Tonight Show’s’ booking of popular Fox News host Greg Gutfeld foreshadows a future where late night’s survival might hinge on kissing the rings of conservatives. https://t.co/ewhYZDqgLD

Congratulations...on the most ridiculous take posted X this evening.

“The Tonight Show’s booking of Greg Gutfeld indicates a sea change in the long standing tradition of only ever platforming progresssive, left-leaning, and extremist viewpoints.”

FIFY
Thank you for correcting their tone-deaf post.
Here’s the apocalyptic moment from Thursday night. (WATCH)

You could continue sealing off your little leftist echo chambers, or you can explore why Gutfeld has the top rated late-night show when so many others are going bust.

You can’t do both.
That chamber is pretty impenetrable.
Who knew that Gutfeld would be so pivotal to the survival of late-night talk shows? Wonder when his ring-fitting is scheduled.
Just having one on as a guest is kidding the ring? How ridiculous.

Because they had ONE on?
— B.T. Mattison (@BT_Mattison) August 9, 2025
So booking someone popular is now kissing a ring?

Clown.
One conservative guest for every 10,000 Democrat ones is obliterating late-night’s delicate balance.
Some posters say it signals something entirely different. It doesn’t involve lips on jewelry, so put the ChapStick away, lefties.
You mean making content the majority of the country actually wants to watch

Or, hear me out, appealing to a larger audience.

...survival might hinge on <<not intentionally pissing off half the country>>. There, fixed it for ya.
— PoliticsJunkie45013 (@poljunkie45013) August 9, 2025
It might hinge on being entertaining, and not eliminating half the country as potential viewers.

Wait a minute. The phrase du jour is “bend the knee.” Or has a new memo been released?

As for Gutfeld, what’s wrong with a talk show host booking popular guests regardless of politics? That’s how things used to be.
Stop, this logic is too much for any Vulture writer to bear!
Of all the late-night hosts, Fallon’s arguably the least political.
Kissing the ring LMAO. Fallon was never far left and he know what makes money. You know we can avoid hating everybody even know that pisses you off.

Conservatives were not allowed on late night. Fallon being semi nice to Trump years ago caused some to try to cancel him. The late night liberal struggle fests were just not enjoyable. I wonder if Fallon can be the one to change things.? We shall see.

Fallon is friends with Gutfeld. So, if anyone has a chance of landing more conservative guests and making it the norm again, it’s Fallon.
