Colbert Sees Viewership Surge After Cancelation News But STILL Getting Clobbered in Ratings by Greg Gutfeld

July 27, 2025

This. Is. Hilarious.

After news broke that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is being canceled, the show experienced a surge in viewership, yet he is still being beaten in the ratings by Greg Gutfeld.

People on the left, including members of congress, are pushing a conspiracy theory that Colbert was canceled for political reasons because he is so critical of President Trump. The truth is that The Late Show has been losing upwards of $40 million a year for CBS.

Even with all the attention Colbert has received recently, he still can’t catch Gutfeld in ratings.

Mediaite reports:

Colbert’s Ratings Spike After Cancellation News But Fox’s Gutfeld Leaves Him in the Dust with Major Gains

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld continues to post stellar ratings, even topping Stephen Colbert who saw a significant bump after news of his show’s cancellation.

Colbert’s Late Show enjoyed a bump to 2.4 million viewers just days after it was announced the show would be ending in the coming months. For the year thus far, Colbert has averaged around 1.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. In the coveted 25-54 demo, it’s averaged just under 300,000.

The bump is impressive, but Fox News’ Gutfeld! continues to dominate other late night programs. When Late Show drew 2.4 million viewers less than a week after news of its cancellation, Gutfeld drew 3.1 million viewers. For the year thus far, the show has averaged 3.1 million viewers and nearly 400,000 in the key demo. Since the announcement of Late Show’s cancellation, Gutfeld has posted 11% and 4% gains in overall viewers and the key demo.

Recent analysis has found that the guest list on Colbert’s show was basically a revolving door for Democrat politicians and left wing journalists.

It’s really not difficult to see why more people tune in to watch Gutfeld. His show is about laughs. Colbert was basically a boring left wing sermon, night after night. Who wants to watch that?
