Greg Gutfeld and Fox News Media have agreed to a multi-year contract extension, in which he will continue as host of the opinion/comedy show Gutfeld! and co-host on The Five. He also will occasionally host and produce programming for subscription streaming service Fox Nation.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The network added Gutfeld’s show to its weeknight lineup three years ago, and it’s been one of the Fox News success stories. In the most recent quarter, the show topped in the 25-54 demo, averaging 304,000 viewers. It also was in the top five in total viewers in March, averaging 2.19 million. The Five, in which Gutfeld is among the panelists, was the top cable news show last quarter, averaging 3.04 million viewers.
Fox News launched Gutfeld! in the 11 p.m. Et slot as a late rival to broadcast network mainstays. The show, which features George “Tyrus” Murdoch and Kat Timpf,...

A senior Fox News executive has exited the company following an investigation into violation of business conduct.
John Finley, who had been executive vice president of development, had been with the network for more than 20 years.
“Fox News Media and John Finley have parted ways after an independent investigation concluded that he had violated certain standards of business conduct,” said a Fox News spokesperson. The company did not elaborate, but The Washington Post, citing an unnamed source familiar with the investigation, reported that it had to do with the use of his position to benefit someone over whom he had influence. Finley did not respond to a request for comment.
Finley played a large role in the launch of Fox Nation, the network’s subscription streaming service, in 2018, and previously helped create some of Fox News’s signature shows, including its top rated series The Five, as well as Hannity,...

Fox News has drawn a big crowd for years with shows that skewer liberals and the perceived excesses of the left.
Now the cabler is seeing strong returns for its experiment with Greg Gutfeld as host of a comedy-oriented 11 p.m. hour that blends roundtable discussion, sketches and Gutfeld’s pointed monologues in a “Daily Show”-meets-“Politically Incorrect” format.
Recent episodes have featured Gutfeld and guests railing against familiar culture war topics like “wokesters” questioning traditions in math, the concept of gender fluidity and a defense of Joe Rogan in his fight with CNN.
“I haven’t seen a doctor get that traumatized since my last prostate exam,” Gutfeld quipped after running a clip of Rogan interviewing CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
By any measure, “Gutfeld!” has been a success for Fox News since its April 5 debut. The nightly program has averaged 1.6 million viewers since its debut and 313,000 in the adults 25-54 demo.

A Fox News television host was mailed an envelope containing what police described as a “white powdery substance,” triggering an emergency response on Friday.
The host, who was not identified by authorities or Fox News, was said to be Greg Gutfeld in numerous other media reports. He reportedly isolated himself in his office and the floor was evacuated until first responders arrived. It was determined the substance was not hazardous, although it was not identified.
The network’s offices are in midtown Manhattan. The envelope was addressed to the host, who opened the package just before noon.
Gutfeld currently serves as host of Gutfeld! (weeknights, 11Pm-12Am/Et) and co-host of The Five (weekdays 5-6Pm/Et). Joining the network in 2007 as a contributor, Gutfeld was host of the 3Am/Et late night show Red Eye for the past eight years (2007- 2015) and The Greg Gutfeld Show (2015-2021).

Most late night talk shows nowadays aim to serve an audience that is, late at night, not watching their TV set. The calculated virality of bits from James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke” to Seth Meyers’ “A Closer Look” to Jimmy Fallon’s TikTok dances with Addison Rae — all of those things are meant to be disseminated on social media when morning comes.
It’s hard to imagine “Gutfeld!,” Fox News’ attempt to enter the late-night wars with a comedy-news hybrid show, accomplishing what these shows do and spreading its message beyond the people who happen to tune in live. For one, this show’s tone of acrid nihilism looks ugly in the light of day. Even by the standards of the network it’s on, this is a nasty, unappealing thing, preying on its viewers’ insecurities in a manner that Fox News, elsewhere, makes at least somewhat subtextual. For another,...

For TV viewers desperate for late night 'talk show' humor, Greg Gutfeld, the 'Libertarian' political commentator, best-selling author, comedian, producer and television host of "Red Eye", "The Greg Gutfeld Show" and co-host of "The Five" (2011-present), will premiere his new one-hour talk show "Gutfeld!", April 5, 2021, on the Fox News Channel, nightly at 11 Pm :
According to Gutfeld, the new show will have a studio audience and more experimentation, going beyond politics, featuring guests and panelists discussing the day's news.
"...you have five opportunities a week, 25 segments, to try something", said Gutfeld. "That's where you start chipping away at traditional conventional assumptions, traditional conventional talk shows.
"If someone says, 'Conservatives aren't funny', well, I don't think they know what a conservative is, or a libertarian is, because if you go back in history and look at some of the great comics, they would not pass muster as a liberal. The goalposts have been moved so that,...

Each weeknight, Fox News Channel’s primetime opinion hosts seek to own the libs. Greg Gutfeld says he wants to own some laughs.
In an unorthodox maneuver, executives at the Fox Corp.-owned cable-news outlet will explore whether jokes and satire can capture a crowd after 11 p.m. with “Gutfeld!,” which debuts Monday night. Fox is the latest in the media industry to try and blend news and comedy into a hybrid it hopes will sell.
“Human beings aren’t always 100% funny or 100% serious,” says Gutfeld in an interview, suggesting he has leeway to test concepts that Fox News viewers don’t usually see on weeknights. He has been honing his craft on Saturday nights, where he has led “The Greg Gutfeld Show,” another program that aims for fans of late-night styles and that Fox News says generates a substantial audience.

President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday about how “easily” Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld is owning late-night television — and he was right.
“Wow!” wrote the president, who has often used his platform to skewer on-air talent at MSNBC, CNN and, yes, Fox News by name. “Congratulations to Greg Gutfeld, a one time Trump Hater who has come all the way home. His Ratings easily beat no talent Stephen Colbert, nice guy Jimmy Fallon, and wacko ‘last placer’ Jimmy Kimmel. Greg built his show from scratch, and did a great job in doing so.”
Ratings for “The Greg Gutfeld Show” are doing something pretty notable right now. It airs once per week on Saturdays at 10 p.m. Et, but it’s outpacing broadcasts with quadruple its episodes. In April, it was the top late-night show in broadcast and cable, bringing in an average of 2.862 million total viewers across four episodes, according to Nielsen ratings data.

The next time James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel or David Spade deliver a few jokes, they won’t hear anyone in the audience clapping or laughing. And that will be by design.
One day after TV’s New York-based late-night programs announced they would ditch the live audiences for their broadcasts out of concerns related to the spread of coronavirus. ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” CBS’ “The Late Late Show with James Corden” and Comedy Central’s “Lights Out with David Spade” are affected. The new policy will start with next Monday’s broadcasts. TBS’ “Conan,” also based on the west coast, is slated to be on hiatus over the next two weeks.
Similar decisions were already made by CBS’ “Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” NBC’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,...

TV’s late-night laughs will continue. But they will have to do so without live audiences to make them.A
Amid rising fears about the spread of coronavirus in the region, New York’s top late-night talk shows will all over the next few days cease to incorporate live audiences into their broadcasts.
The decision affects CBS’ “Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” NBC’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live,” TBS’ “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” and Fox News Channel’s “The Greg Gutfeld Show” all said Wednesday that they would tape their broadcasts in theaters and studios without audience members.
In statements, all the shows indicated their staffers were well, but that producers felt performing with live crowds would not be safe or smart.
