Same reason Foxnews gets better ratings, conservatives have less options so their audience don't get split like more liberal leaning programing.

A massive chunk of Americans are TERRIBLE people. A lot of them have Fox News on the tv all day long regardless of what show is on.

Same reason Fox News gets good ratings. The right is pretty much condensed on Fox so everyone who leans that way and wants to watch that stuff goes there. Meanwhile everyone else is split between Kimmel/Colbert/Fallon.

That's pretty much been the bread and butter of that model. Create a monopoly on mainstream conservative media, be the only show in town, and then position yourselves as the alternative.

Even if we accepted your ridiculous premise that anyone who watches fox news is a terrible person, Fox news viewers make up an incredibly small percentage of the US population.

“Even if we accepted your ridiculous premise that anyone who watches blatant fascist propaganda and uses it as their basis to oppress immigrants, racial minorities, and queer people is a terrible person…”

Because he is likable, funny and he always has on a good mix of guests. He's the only thing I watch on that channel, but something I appreciate about him is a lack of any mean streak unlike his contemporaries. It's a trait I appreciated in John Stewart as well... even when "slamming" a guest for a stupid comment, he delivers it with affable humor that lessens the blow while making people laugh at the comment instead of the person giving it. Something that's been lost in modern society is the ability to confront an idea instead of the person sharing it. The former opens up new debate and thought, while the latter ensures cessation of both. A good moderator knows this, and if nothing else, Guttfeld is an excellent moderator.

No idea why you’re being downvoted although I bet every single person who did has no idea who he is except he’s on Fox, thereby betraying their own close-minded view of the world. The dude is hilarious and never takes himself or anything else so seriously.

almost all of nielsons info comes from people wearing little devices called people meters that look like pagers kind of doubt that many people who are in the hospital bring those with them

would be interesting to see how he would do if normal fox finally got in to the late night tv business and moved his show over there

I keep on seeing people claiming that it only gets good numbers because of some households are watching nothing but fox news all day if that's true then they could maybe it would actually get less viewers on there

because late night is dying and the demographic that's keeping it going is a bunch of old people who tend to skew more conservative

If I wanted to watch a clip of Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert, I have this thing called YouTube. My start time at work is 6am. IDGAF about Gutfeld.

It's on Fox News. There are about 2-3 million people that have Fox News on all day every day.

Ugh, because of you I watched some Greg Gutfeld and he is painfully unfunny.

And I don't find Stephen Colbert et cetera all that funny...

It's background noise for old people.

it's not because gutfeld is particularly great (he's ok), it's because colbert is fucking AWFUL

He gives the viewer just the right mix of misogyny and racism without feeling guilty about it. Plus, now that he beats the others in the ratings, watching him owns the libs.

Honestly the best late night show I’d actually watch is Graham Norton but they really need to figure out their streaming strategy. They give it to a cable channel on a two week delay in the US.

The best concept I think for a late night show is actually WWHL with Andy Cohen. He schedules Bravo honestly like a genius, with one big tentpole franchise sort of evenly spread throughout the week, and then immediately follows the episode of like RHOBH with two of the main cast members from that episode to discuss what happened.

Gutfeld better watch out. The more popular he gets, the more time he takes off. He's worse than Johnny Carson back in the day. Tyrus would make a great host.
