Late Night’s Death Continues: Greg Gutfeld To Appear on ‘Tonight Show'

Greg Gutfeld has no respect for the late-night scene. He is a partisan hack who fancies himself a mischievous little boy because he likes to spout slurs and say mean things while he struggles to find a chair small enough for him. The tiny little guy recently reveled in delight as he claimed white people should start flippantly calling each other members of a notorious fascist ideology (ad sales, y’all) the same way, in his little mind, that African Americans use the N-word. He sucks! He is a bad dude! And Jimmy Fallon is about to give him a spotlight!

Fallon is no stranger to platforming horrific white dudes and making them seem… down to Earth, I guess? He platformed an old man who spewed racist nonsense like someone you’d avoid on the bus, and rubbed his hair like he was a sweet lil silly guy, and that man became President. Twice! Did he only win because Fallon did that? No. But it helped, has followed Fallon ever since, and he still isn’t safe from the man’s wrath. Now, he’s giving a platform to a man who usually makes jokes to octogenarians who think the NYC subway is a war zone filled with gun-toting rats.

Late Nighter is reporting that Greg Gutfeld will appear on Fallon, a show and host he has often mocked, along with the Jonas Brothers and Good Charlotte. Talk about can’t miss TV, right, guys?! The amount of smug satisfaction Gutfeld will emanate as he tries to wiggle his way onto a chair usually used by adult-sized folks can already be felt in some corners of the Earth. That self-congratulatory behavior will be so strong that it transcends time and space.

That’s what Gutfeld wants. He wants a seat at the table. The man has claimed to be the king of late-night because he’s riding the medium into the ground with no adjustments. He has beaten the legacy shows in ratings in recent years, because they get most of their views on YouTube and social media (though he’d likely be getting trounced by Colbert right now had he not moved time slots). Gutfeld is like a passenger on the Titanic who, while everyone else looks for lifeboats, proudly sits at the “good table” in the ballroom while water rises past his waist (though it wouldn’t have far to go).

This also feels like Fallon trying to get on the President’s good side. This reeks of someone trying to please the new ghoul in charge of the FCC. There is nothing else to be gained by having a sarcastic little gnome on your show. There will be no bump in viewers. It will just leave Fallon with another clip that will haunt his late-night career, as Gutfeld jokes about being the king visiting his subjects or tries to use the r-word or something sh**ty. The man is useless as a comedian and host. Fallon having him as a guest is a new low (not low enough to be shorter than Gutfeld, but still pretty low).
