If you’re unfamiliar, Greg hosts the news and political satire show Gutfeld! on Fox. He’s known for his edgy comedy style, conservative views, and making a number of controversial comments \u2014 from suggesting<\/a> conservatives should reclaim the word “Nazi” like “the Blacks” reclaimed the n-word to saying<\/a> crime would “disappear” in the absence of women and his “oversimplifications”<\/a> in discussing the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

He appeared on The Tonight Show<\/a> on Thursday night, and while the conversation<\/a> largely steered away from politics, viewers were still very annoyed at Jimmy for platforming Greg.<\/p>\n

Taking to Reddit, one person asked<\/a>, “why he’s being platformed? Has anyone seen this guy’s schlocky nonsense? No one ever needed to talk about him? We still don’t.” Another felt that “Fallon has always been a ‘yes to everyone’ man. The guy’s got almost zero convictions.”<\/p>\n

“I fucking loathe Fallon,” someone confessed, “and this is a prime example as to why.” Another shared similar sentiments as they admitted, “I’ve never liked Fallon. At all. I like him less now.”<\/p>\n

Someone declared, “There is no defense of this. This dude is part of the tinderbox that is MAGA. Fallon having him on means I now hate Jimmy Fallon<\/a>. I’ve given him every benefit of the doubt throughout the last 2 decades, but this seals it for me.”<\/p>\n

Other viewers were disappointed but not surprised by the interview, remembering how Jimmy famously hosted<\/a> Donald Trump<\/a> on The Tonight Show in 2016.<\/p>\n

“Fallon has normalized the right’s worst before,” one person wrote alongside a GIF of the infamous moment<\/a> when Jimmy ruffled Trump’s hair. “this is nothing new.”<\/p>\n

Another questioned Jimmy’s sincerity when he expressed regret<\/a> for the aforementioned moment with Trump. “Remember when Fallon went on a brief redemption tour and talked about how gutted he was about normalizing Trump with that hair ruffle and how he’d been brooding about it for years? Guess he’s changed his mind,” they said.<\/p>\n

Some suspected he was “trying real hard to stay off the chopping block”<\/a> following the July cancellation of The Late Show<\/a> with Stephen Colbert.<\/p>\n

“Jimmy’s afraid of getting cancelled too,” one person speculated. “More kissing the ring.<\/p>\n

However, some people didn’t completely fault Jimmy. One Reddit user pointed out, “He’s not the talent booker so I guess a whole bunch of people their are fascists. So gross.”<\/p>\n
