For those waiting for the weekday, nightly show from Greg Gutfeld, you will have to wait a couple more weeks. Starting April 5th, “Gutfeld!” will debut in the time slot currently held by Shannon Bream who will move to the next year. It will be a nightly comedy show on par with the unfunny late night comedians like Fallon, Kimmel and Colbert. Unlike those hacks, Gutfelt promises not to be bland “string cheese’ like they are.
Fox News Channel host Greg Gutfeld’s new weekday program “Gutfeld!” will debut on Monday, April 5, the network announced on Wednesday, and the namesake host feels it will stand out from boring late-night competition.
“If you cannot tell the other late night shows apart, join the club. They’re as bland as string cheese and not nearly as appetizing. It’s the same jokes, the same assumptions, probably the same writers, all reading the same columns from the same hacks in the New York Times. So we aren’t going to be like them,” Gutfeld said.
“If you want something different, that isn’t afraid to take a risk and call out hypocrisy on all sides, check out ‘Gutfeld!’ And if you don’t, no hard feelings. Although I will hate you forever,” he added.
Gutfeld will continue as co-host of “The Five” in addition to hosting his new late-night program. The highly rated “The Greg Gutfeld Show” will air its final episode on Saturday before the namesake host expands his late-night offerings to five nights per week at 11 p.m. ET.
“People need a reason to laugh. Greg’s unique and irreverent talk show has been an incredible success, often beating the late night broadcast competition, despite its Saturday timeslot. With one of the most loyal and engaged audiences in cable news, we’re thrilled to bring the show to weekday primetime and further solidify Greg’s place among late night television stars,” FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said last month when plans were first announced.
