Greg Gutfeld Dominates Late Night Ratings as CBS Axes Money-Losing Late Show With Colbert

The left is still melting down over the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. They can’t seem to grasp that he was losing millions of dollars for CBS. He had to go and it was long overdue. Now even Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel are worried about losing their jobs.
You know who’s not worried at all? Greg Gutfeld.
The Gutfeld! show is produced with a tiny fraction of the budget and staff that Colbert has, and yet Gutfeld! consistently turns in fantastic ratings, often eclipsing all of the other late night shows, despite being on cable rather than a major network.

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld dominates late-night television ratings as CBS ends Colbert’s ‘Late Show’
Colbert discussed CBS’ reasons for canceling the show on Monday, asking, “How could it purely be a financial decision if ‘The Late Show’ is No. 1 in ratings?”
However, Fox News Channel’s “Gutfeld!” is actually the most-watched late-night program on television and has outdrawn Colbert for 21 straight months among total viewers and 13 months in a row among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54.
The shows air at different times; “Gutfeld!” airs at 10 p.m. ET, while Colbert’s begins at 11:35 p.m. ET and is No. 1 among network late-night comedy programs.
In 2025, “Gutfeld!” averaged 3.1 million viewers through July 20, compared to 1.9 million for CBS’ outgoing “Late Show.” During that same time period, ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” averaged 1.5 million, NBC’s “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” averaged 1.1 million, and NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” managed 751,000.
When it comes to the key demo, “Gutfeld!” averaged 398,000 of the viewers most coveted by advertisers, compared to 288,000 for Colbert…
“Gutfeld!” has also outdrawn all late-night offerings among younger viewers, averaging 248,000 adults aged 18-49 compared to 188,000 for Colbert, 175,000 for Kimmel, 160,000 for Fallon and 113,000 for Meyers.
Greg is even taking shots at Colbert on his show. Take a look below:

Colbert is now at the point where he is just lashing out at Trump and others. Does anyone believe he is going to last until his contract is up next May? He’s probably going to quit in a rage at some point.
