It’s currently the number one late night show. It’s not about money. It’s because the president pressured them after Colbert called the network out Tuesday for taking a bribe.


I think Gutfeld is number 1 overall, and has been for a while.

But TV ratings overall are down so low, I haven’t had cable since 2003, and at the time people thought I was a radical. Now it seems like the people that have cable are the rare ones, Especially if there is noone over 45 in the house.

There is a reason they all format their shows in a way that is easy to break up into youtube videos. If they didn’t, most kids under 30 wouldn't even know who they are


I'd never heard of Gutfeld - I'm a Brit - so checked it out - https://youtu.be/MflEEkCFtHY It doesn't seem very good..? The first few seconds is him jokinging insulting various democrats and the audience groaning.


You just described Colbert but flipped the political sign bit.


he’s the worst, but they all are gross


> I think Gutfeld is number 1 overall, and has been for a while.

From what I saw, Gutfeld is top in that time slot, but not for late night overall.

I agree that cable is crazy to pay so much money for and still have frequent and long commercial interruptions.


Assuming this table (https://latenighter.com/news/ratings/late-night-tv-ratings-q...) is accurate (and I am reading it correctly), Gutfeld has more average number of viewers than the other late night shows.


His show airs much earlier than the others which is why it’s not really considered the top late night. The rankings I was referring to were the true late night shows. Gutfeld is basically prime time.


He's also on cable. When people talk about late night talk shows, they're generally referring to one of the networks.
