Gutfeld! Breaks a New Ratings Record

While the traditional late-night shows continue to hit Donald Trump with a fusillade of negative jokes and critiques (Jimmy Fallon excepted), the one host championing the president appears to be reaping the ratings rewards.

Donald Trump’s inauguration and the deluge of news in the days that followed helped fuel a record-breaking week for Greg Gutfeld‘s late-night styled Fox News show, with each of his episodes last week ranking among the show’s ten most-watched episodes ever.

Of Gutfeld!‘s four new episodes last week (the show was pre-empted Monday night), three drew more than four million viewers—a threshold the show had only surpassed four times before.

All told, the show’s nightly average audience for the week of January 20, 2025 was 4,094,000 total viewers. That’s up 64% compared to its 2024 nightly average audience of 2,500,000 total viewers, which itself was a record-breaking number for the show.

Year-over-year ratings have been up across the board for Fox News, with the network recording the highest rated January in cable news history. Compared to the same period last year, the news channel saw overall ratings growth of +40% among total viewers.

Below is a list of Gutfeld!’s ten most-watched episodes to date, including each of last week’s four episodes (in bold):

    smart and funny show

  7. Patricia DeStefano says:

    Gutfeld is the best show on TV. I love his snarky humor and guests, especially Tyrus.

    Old enough to not fit in the demographic most shows want,but I have been a fan forever.. miss some pop culture references but I am still Amused!

  8. Linda Ducas says:

    My husband started watching Gutfeld first. However, being a lifelong Jeopardy fan (which my husban loathes), I would not watch it with him as both programs are on at the same time (7pm MST). But then I started watching it with him and I was hooked! I bought both of Tyrus’ books and read them as well as Kat Timpfs book. The show is well done and extremely funny! My husband considers it a personal victory that I have given up Jeopardy for Gutfeld!!

  9. Mike says:

    ..for good reason!

    About time the American People tune into a media outlet that doesn’t spew lies. Amazing to me that these other media outlets still don’t get that we’ve been onto them and their BS. AMERICANS WANT AND NEED TRANSPARENCY NOT ATTACKS ON OUR PRESIDENT. If they didn’t make the Democrats tell the truth about Bidens cognitive decline when it was obvious to the naked eye. Hell a blind person could point that out.

    KUDOS
    MUCH DESERVED!

  12. Norman Eddy says:

  14. Jim McGurty says:

    No surprised with the ratings victory. Its my highest priority recording.
    Been a huge fan of Greg since Red Eye. He has a great mix of perspectives
    on the panel. Tyrus and Kat solid anchors for him. My day is never completed
    until I catch the show before bed. Congratulations!

  15. Rita Jean Signore says:

    RJ from PA I love Greg Gutfeld. I can’t stand Kimmel,Colbert,Fallon. They’re woke. I don’t even watch them. I love the panel on Gutfeld’s show. Tyrus,Kat and whomever is on. He has good writers. God Bless Greg and his family.

  16. Kay says:

  17. Drs. Fuentes says:

    Great Show; discussion of interesting topics and with a sense of humor!

  18. John Nolty says:

    Gutfeld should never be pre- emted for anything. Not that I have no simpithay for disaster but Trey is on after him and we can wait for Trey at 11:00pm

  19. DEBBIE JOLICOEUR says:

    We absolutely LOVE the Gutfeld! show. All of you are truthful and very funny. OMG, the night Tyrus rolled off his chair onto the floor…my husband and I must have rewound and watched that 10 times. Kat, you are adorable! Don’t listen to anyone who criticizes you. They are obviously just jealous. Love how you always have a different take on things. Greg, Appreciate your honesty and Love your silly humor. Love how your able to lighten the mood in the worst of times. Great people, Great guests! The show is fantastic and we never miss an episode. Congratulations to you all!

    1. Norma L Cheevers says:

      I agree completely! We laughed so hard. Emily Companio took it very well. I am one of the gray-haired old fans of Tyrus, but he doesn’t get the reason. I respect him for the way he loves his kids. That is the most important thing he could ever do. Keep up the good work, Tyrus!

  20. Clifford Christensen says:

    Best show on TV. Love his delivery and type of humor. Picking on Kat.

  21. Jennifer B says:

    This Serra boy is still a boy. Acts like a child know it all who knows nothing except to act like a smart alec and wait for laughs. So not funny. Arrogant wanna be… what I don’t know

    1. Kari says:

      You must be a liberal…..they don’t seem to appreciate anything humorous, informative or not aligned with their mind hive mentality and have no clue how to enjoy life

  22. AJ Cosenza says:

    Been a fan since day one. So refreshing to watch a man who gets to the heart of the news cycle without coming across as a preachy , pompous , lecturing ass. The way he characterizes that talentless, Trump bashing , rabid henhouse also known as “The View” makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Keep up the good work Greg!!

    1. Margaret Reifsteck says:

      Agree with you.

  23. Christine Krout says:

    I love to watch Greg and the panel. They have fun but also discuss serious issues.

  24. Diane Pagano says:

    Gutfeld is the best late night show. Love Tyrus & Kat and Jamie !Fun & informative show. Love his monologues. DVR every night, don’t want to miss anything!! Truly, King of Late Night .

  25. Steve Davis says:

    Congratulations to the real news the people of our country need truth after 4 years of pain our country is healing…thank you Mr.Gutfeld

  26. Hugh Ginveiny says:

    Well deserved. I think he should go on ” The View” and rip those seahags a new one. How’s that for ratings.

  27. Margaret Reifsteck says:

    My husband and I watch him nightly!

  28. Karen Kubik says:

    Congratulations Greg. For the show and your new baby girl. Watch every night and are bummed when the pesky news preempts you. 😎 Love your thoughtful comments wrapped in your sense of humor..definitely is a head exploding experience to an occasional liberal viewer!

  29. Sheila kirkey says:

    I watch fox news 100% of time it’s the only truth news station

  30. Charlene Martorana says:

    love Greg and group!!! won’t even look at the others!!

  31. Daisy Dog says:
