The length of the contract was not disclosed, but even a one-year extension would pose a challenge to the Big Three networks, who have been losing viewers while Gutfeld’s show continues to grow in popularity.

Ukraine border

“The Ukraine border matters more than our border?” he said astonished at the Democrat’s policies. “We’ve had enough.”

History will judge

“Biden says history will judge us harshly,” Gutfeld said. He then looked straight at the camera, and said to Biden, “It will judge you harshly.”

Late-night hosts

Indeed, Fox News is correct in highlighting Gutfeld’s remarkable ratings that have surpassed those of popular late-night hosts like Kimmel and Fallon.

9 million viewers

While it’s true that the era of achieving 9 million viewers like legendary host Johnny Carson is a thing of the past, Gutfeld’s nightly viewership of over 2 million is a significant achievement.

Consistently outperforming
