Gutfeld

Greg Gutfeld’s ratings wins continued this week as his Gutfeld! outpaced late night interviews with Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz in the ratings.

According to Nielsen ratings, Walz’s  Oct. 7 interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! brought in two million viewers and 309,000 in the coveted 25-54 demo. Meanwhile, Gutfeld scored 2.9 million viewers and 342,000 in the 25-54 demo.

The next night, Harris appeared with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. That episode drew 2.89 million viewers and 428,000 in the key demo, while Gutfeld brought in 3.1 million viewers 428,000 in the key demo.

Gutfeld is in the midst of his highest rated year ever, and he regularly outpaces much of his late night competition. Gutfeld does benefit from airing at 10 p.m., earlier than other late night programs.

Last month, Gutfeld drew his biggest audience ever when former President Donald Trump joined his panel. That episode drew 4.9 million viewers and 744,000 in the 25-54 demo.

Gutfeld’s third quarter ratings averaged 2.8 million viewers with 413,000 in 25-54 demo.

The Fox News host also has fairly bipartisan audience, according to Nielsen MRI Fusion in a survey conducted for the month of July. While a majority of his viewers identify as Republicans, data from Nielsen showed last month that more Democrats watch Gutfeld than Jimmy Fallon and Kimmel. Among independents, according to the survey, Gutfeld also outpaces Fallon, Kimmel, and Colbert.

On top of his Gutfeld! duties, Gutfeld also co-hosts Fox’s popular The Five. He previously headed Fox News’ truly late night — 3 a.m. to be exact — Red Eye.
