Fox News’ sharp-tongued host keeps winning while network rivals fade
Late-night television just had a seismic shift and Greg Gutfeld is sitting comfortably at the top.
While Stephen Colbert made headlines this week after CBS announced the end of The Late Show in 2025, it turns out another show has been quietly dominating the ratings war for nearly two years: Gutfeld!
Gutfeld’s Winning Streak Continues
Airing at 10 p.m. ET, Gutfeld! has outdrawn The Late Show for 21 consecutive months in total viewership and 13 straight months among the all-important 25–54 age demographic.
In 2025 alone, Gutfeld! is averaging a whopping 3.1 million nightly viewers, compared to 1.9 million for Colbert.
The Fox News comedian also leads in younger viewers aged 18–49, pulling in 248,000 per night, more than any other late-night program.
Colbert is averaging 288,000 in the 25–54 demo and 188,000 in the 18–49 bracket. He is trailing Gutfeld and other network rivals.
That puts him behind Gutfeld, Jimmy Kimmel, and even The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, despite his show airing over an hour later than Gutfeld’s.
CBS Pulls the Plug as Merger Looms
CBS recently announced that The Late Show will come to an end in May 2025, citing a staggering $40 million annual loss. But Colbert isn’t buying it.
“How could it purely be a financial decision if ‘The Late Show’ is No. 1 in ratings?” Colbert asked his audience. Later in the same monologue, he addressed President Trump directly: “Go f— yourself.”
The show’s cancellation comes just days after CBS settled Donald Trump’s $20 billion election interference lawsuit for a reported $16 million. And with a major merger between Paramount and Skydance Media expected later this year, some speculate the network is cleaning house.
Gutfeld’s Underdog Rise
Once seen as an unlikely challenger in late-night comedy, Greg Gutfeld has carved out a loyal fanbase with his signature mix of satire, news commentary, and irreverent humor.
And now, with the numbers to prove it, the Fox News host is turning heads in the entertainment world, whether Hollywood likes it or not.
As other shows fade and networks reshuffle, Gutfeld! is showing no signs of slowing down. And while critics squabble over po
