Greg Gutfeld and Co. took a victory lap for the Fox News host\u2019s appearance last week on \u201cThe Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,\u201d with the consensus being that not only was it a fun moment \u2013 but something late-night culture needs more of.<\/p>\n

\u201cI brought fun by the gallon to our pal Jimmy Fallon,\u201d the \u201cGutfeld!\u201d [and self-proclaimed king of late night<\/a>] said on Friday night\u2019s monologue. \u201cIt went so well all the way home I could not stop talking about it with my Uber driver [displaying a picture of \u201cLate Show\u201d host Stephen Colbert.] <\/p>\n

The canceled-by-May CBS host<\/a>, criticized after his exit was announced for never having conservative guests, continued to get roasted as Gutfeld boasted.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it was nothing like the critics predicted,\u201d Gutfeld said. \u201cThey expected me and Mr. Evil Fox News to attack Jimmy Fallon and they were mad when I did not. But I went on the show for the same reason I started the show. Late-night needs more fun. I was a gracious guest to a nice guy and he expected me to tear into Jimmy? You were as clueless and boring as the Stephen Colbert interviewing Kamala Harris.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gutfeld applauded Fallon for the invite \u2013 and suggested that had Colbert done the same, he, too, might be enjoying a contract extension instead of a pink slip.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took guts for Jimmy Fallon to have me on the show, not only because he risked criticism from the left,\u201d Gutfeld said. \u201cI\u2019m talking about this coincidence. His contract\u2019s just been renewed by NBC through 2028. You see that, Colbert? You should have had me on! And there is still time \u2026 I will even bring the tissues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGutfeld!\u201d panelist Tom Shillue gushed about the appearance for being about anything but politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, this was great to see and it reminded me that I think you and Fallon have a similar energy and that the model for the late-night host was always kind of detached and, you know, kind of sarcastic and above it all,\u201d Shillue said. \u201cBut both you and Jimmy enjoy yourselves when you\u2019re doing the show. Like you have a good time, you were always laughing at your guests, he is always enjoying his guests, so I thought it went great and I was just overjoyed to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panelist C.J. Pearson noted that it seems like conservatives are \u201cwinning the battle\u201d: \u201cYou going on Tonight Show, Sydney Sweeney being on the face of major fashion campaigns and not standing away from it but doubling down. \u2026 The more we do that, young people will come to our side and we will keep on winning.\u201d<\/p>\n
