Gutfeld, the host of Gutfeld!, will sit down with Fallon at the iconic Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center, just steps away from Fox News Media’s New York City headquarters.
Gutfeld, known for his humor and candid remarks, joked about the pairing, calling it, ‘the biggest crossover since the Harlem Globetrotters visited ‘The Golden Girls.’
In typical Gutfeld fashion, he also poked fun at his the musical guest who’d he be sharing the stage with.
‘It looks like I’ll be on with the Jonas Brothers, which is great, I haven’t seen them in a while. A lot of people don’t know this, but I was one of the original members until they booted me out for being too hot.’
However, it was Gutfeld’s glowing praise of Fallon that took center stage.
The Fox host expressed his admiration for Fallon, calling him ‘a great, genuine guy who wants to make people laugh instead of putting them to bed angrier than ‘The View’ at a salad bar.’
Gutfeld also praised Fallon for his ability to break from the typical liberal late-night mold, contrasting him with other hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, saying, ‘Unlike the other guys, Jimmy doesn’t reside in a liberal echo chamber.’

Gutfeld continued to shower Fallon with compliments, jokingly adding, ‘Sitting with me proves he’s not afraid of upsetting his peers or afraid of my mesmerizing charm.’
He also noted Fallon’s decision to ‘humanize’ former President Donald Trump in 2016 by playfully ruffling his hair – a move that many on the left found controversial.
‘The angry mob wanted a brutal take-down, but Jimmy did something different. He had fun, which is criminal to the liberal hive,’ Gutfeld remarked.
The bond between Fallon and Trump, captured in that now-iconic moment, wasn’t lost on Gutfeld.
‘If he wants to run his fingers through my hair, I will not complain. After all, the last time he did that, the guy became president,’ he joked.
With Gutfeld! now the most-watched late-night program on television, regularly outperforming its rivals on NBC, CBS, and ABC, it’s no surprise that the Fox host would offer such high praise for Fallon.
Gutfeld is also a co-host of The Five, which finished July as the most-watched news program in America, further solidifying his place in the late-night television conversation.
This Thursday’s Tonight Show will also feature the Jonas Brothers and Good Charlotte as guests, with the show airing on NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET.
