Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show receives record audience spike thanks to Fox News guest
The Tonight Show landed its biggest audience in years as Jimmy Fallon hosted Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld last Thursday. The episode drew in 1.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen live-plus-same day figures. It was the program's most-watched 'regular' broadcast — meaning not airing directly after a major sporting event — since December 19, 2023, when a post-The Voice finale episode attracted 1.74 million viewers. Some of Thursday's viewers may be attributed to the night's lead guest, the Jonas Brothers; however, it's Gutfeld's segment that boasts by far the most viewers on the show's YouTube channel (990,000 at the time of writing). During the highly anticipated interview, Fallon and Gutfeld steered clear of politics, instead bantering about their first drunken meeting at a bar in New York City. 'This is hilarious — we've met before,' Fallon opened with. 'Yes, you have no memory of it. Which is understandable, because we were wasted,' Gutfeld responded before launching into a long-winded anecdote about their meeting. The host of Fox's politically charged comedy panel show, Gutfeld!, alluded to his then-upcoming appearance with Fallon last week, saying it would be the 'biggest crossover since the Harlem Globetrotters visited the Golden Girls.' 'Unlike the other guys, Jimmy sitting with me proves he's not afraid of upsetting his peers or afraid of my mesmerizing charm,' he added. Fallon has shown his willingness to be pragmatic about humoring the right in the past, infamously hosting Donald Trump in September 2016, two months before his victory over Hillary Clinton, and ruffling the New York property tycoon's blonde hair to check whether it was real. The gesture alienated some of The Tonight Show's audience, and Fallon later expressed regret over it, telling The New York Times in 2017: 'I didn't do it to humanize him. I almost did it to minimize him. I didn't think that would be a compliment: 'He did the thing that we all wanted to do.'' Trump himself was angered over Fallon's 'whimpering' attempts to distance himself from the interview, rebuking him on Twitter: 'Be a man Jimmy!' By contrast, Trump has long been a champion of Gutfeld, posting a Fox press release celebrating his high ratings on Truth Social last September and writing in all-caps: 'GUTFELD! NOTCHES LARGEST AUDIENCE IN PROGRAM HISTORY WITH NEARLY FIVE MILLION VIEWERS DURING INTERVIEW WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.' When fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert's show was axed last month, the president wrote: 'I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.' Gutfeld likewise gloated over The Late Show's demise, commenting on Fox: 'This was an 'institution,' and rather than put someone in his place they just said, 'We're closing up.' Imagine being a chef. You're such a bad chef that they cancel food… It's so obvious. You can't do a comedy show and a sermon at the same time.'

Joel McHale's Biggest Achievement Is Partnering with Seattle's Best Coffee, According to His Parents
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. Joel McHale has done it all — hosting the award-winning show The Soup for over a decade, starring in NBC's cult-favorite Community, and cementing his place as one of Hollywood's quickest comedians. But according to his parents, his crowning achievement might just be…coffee and marshmallows. More from Rolling Stone Jonas Brothers' 20th Anniversary Tour: Here's Where to Find Tickets for the 'Greetings From Your Hometown' Shows Online Inside Lollapalooza 2025: What We Saw On the Ground At One of the Summer's Best Music Fests Colleen Hoover's 'Regretting You' Novel Returns to Amazon's Bestsellers Chart Ahead of Film Adaptation The Washington State native has teamed up with Seattle's Best Coffee, a brand his family has been sipping for years, to launch Coffee Roast Mallows: tiny little treats in four 'coffee-inspired flavors,' according to the brand. You can eat them as they are or pop them into a fresh cup of joe; the choice is yours. McHale didn't just work with the brand on the campaign either; he went full McHale about it. In a short video, he's joined by a raccoon (we think a fake one?), dressed in full park ranger gear, delivering his signature wit and charm. Rolling Stone caught up with the actor and comedian to talk about the collab, his favorite summer camping memories, and whether that long-promised Community movie is actually brewing. Read it below. Coffee Roast Mallows Variety Pack $19.95 Buy Now on xo marshmallow What made you want to partner with Seattle's Best Coffee? I don't know if you know this, but I've been to Seattle a couple of times. In fact, I was raised there as a child. I grew up in one of the suburbs, and that's where all of my formative years happened. I met my wife in Seattle, and as a teenager, I even worked at a coffee cart (like one that you wheel out every morning). The culture of coffee in Seattle took itself very seriously, and I was absolutely swept up in that. God, when I die, is going to be like, 'you drank 80 tankerfuls of coffee,' and I'm going to be like right… So when Seattle's Best came to me, I was flattered. They've allowed for a lot of comedy to be in the spots. Even talking to a raccoon — and so it's been really fun, and they've been great. Seattle's Best Coffee Henry's Blend Dark Roast Ground Coffee | 12 Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) $41.64 Buy Now On Amazon How do you choose which brands you collaborate with? I do my Catholic guilt thing with some of the brands that offer to partner with me. But with the others that I can get behind, I still can't believe my good fortune. When I started out acting and hosting, I was just like, well, if this doesn't work, I don't know what I'm going to do. And it started working before you were born, back in 2004, and I just can't believe that brands are cool with wanting me to represent them. When Seattle's Best came up, I thought my agent was joking. He said, 'Have you ever heard of Seattle's Best Coffee?' And I was like, no, nooooo, noooooo, never heard of it. And I responded, YEAH. It's a ubiquitous, iconic brand throughout Seattle. When I told my parents, they said, 'Well, you've finally arrived, haven't you, Joel?' I was like, 'Are you mocking me? You're definitely going to be getting some coffee out of this. I feel like you're kind of scolding me about it, but alright!' Editor's note: I was born in 1995, sorry, Joel. Was there anything that surprised you about Seattle's Best behind the scenes? They care deeply, which, you know, a lot of brands do, but they are unique in wanting it to be Seattle-esque, and with all of the different flavors, they've innovated a lot. And now, with the Limited Edition Roast Mallows, they're like, 'Well, summer is the time for s'mores,' and you can just show up with a cup of coffee and throw some of your s'mores mallows in there, and you can either roast them or drink them. It's those little things that they've thought about and have developed really well. I drink a lot of it. Kusini Smores Maker $33.99 Buy Now On Amazon Speaking of camping, I've heard you're a pro at pitching a tent or two. Do you have any favorite camping memories? I went to CYO camp, and it was some of the best times of my life. There was a huge bonfire. We would roast s'mores, and we'd sing the night away. And I look back on that, and I kind of go, 'Oh, that was magic.' The day we came home is the day I started looking forward to the next time we were going to go back out there. And now I've gone camping with my kids through their schools, and once you get out there (even with all of the preparation), it's heaven. It's perfect. I can just sit back, have a fire, drink some coffee with my mallows, and the kids just love it. When you can just let your kids frolic and hopefully not get bit by a mountain lion, it's the little things. Were you ever a camp counselor? I was a camp counselor and a horse wrangler. Not wrangled like I showed up in a bandana, I would wrangle all of the horses for the little kids to get on top of and make sure they didn't fall off when I was leading them down a trail. It wasn't like Yellowstone out there. I was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. I can't shoe a horse, but I can feed it, wash it, and get it to go somewhere. What are some of your top camping essentials? Fire, shelter, and food are a bare minimum. I also bring the largest coat because even when it's warm, late at night, it can get cold. And that can even double as a blanket. A broom — that's a good one. Don't skimp on the camp stove, and don't forget the Seattle's Best Coffee. Marmot Highlander Jacket $250.00 Buy Now on marmot If you had to take any of your castmates camping, who would it be? Well, I'd like to say the entire cast, but I would bring Danny (Pudi), because he's a really good runner, so if we got in trouble, he'd run for help. Probably. Donald (Glover). I think we can all agree he's the funniest person on the planet. But then I would bring Jim (Rash) and Ken (Jeong) with me, because they're also right up there. I don't know if Ken goes camping, but I think it would be funny to see him camp. And I don't think Jim does either, but it would be funny to watch them react to that. That sounds like it would be the best episode of of all time. I actually did go on Bear Gryll's show. Did that make you rethink your entire life? Oh yeah, he had so many questions like that, and then I would of course make fun of them. I was like, 'Don't start this, Bear.' I'm not going to cry! I'm not going to cry in this slot canyon here. Let's go eat a lizard or something. He's the real deal, he's on top. He also knows all the camera angles and lighting. He knows all that stuff as it's happening. It's pretty impressive. The North Face Wawona 6 Tent $550.00 Buy Now on rei What about any updates on the movie or a revival? Is there anything you can tell us? We're doing the musical revival. Yep, on Broadway. It's gonna be very exciting. Andrew Rannells is playing me. NO! But yes, the movie is going to happen because we have the money now. It really is a matter of scheduling, and I am pretty hopeful it's happening in the new year. Just as long as the audience is okay with me getting much older. Your show, became a cultural phenomenon, and afterward, we saw other series emerge that followed the same format. Did you find that flattering, or did it piss you off? I was annoyed that they outrated me and continued to. But Greg Kinnear was the real inventor of the format and some E! executive, and he worked it out way back in 1991. My addition to that format was basically not making it a daily show and just making it a weekly show. And then, when reality shows came in, it was the new frontier. It was open. And they were the craziest shows on television, like Flavor of Love, or Being Bobby Brown, or like Britney Spears just having video cameras given to her and Kevin Federline. Reality shows don't really happen anymore. They're all really careful now, like we know exactly what we're getting into with Love Island. And everything is so instantaneously commented upon, no one is going to wait a week to see what I think of RuPaul's Drag Race. When I was making that show (The Soup), we thought we were going to be canceled every week, and all of a sudden it started working, and I couldn't believe it. It was a time when we were just making jokes to ourselves. I always kind of followed Conan O'Brien (I'm no Conan O'Brien, I wish), and every night, he even said we were going to be cancelled. And I was like, 'Oh, that's how we feel.' It was good times, and I can't believe how lucky I am. Best of Rolling Stone The Best Audiophile Turntables for Your Home Audio System

Fox News' Gutfeld delivers massive ratings boost to Fallon's ‘Tonight Show' with cross-network appearance
Fox News Channel host Greg Gutfeld's first appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" last Thursday delivered the program's largest audience of the year. The "Gutfeld!" namesake joined Fallon from the iconic Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center, a stone's throw from FOX News Media's New York City headquarters in Manhattan. Gutfeld's appearance drew 1.7 million viewers, marking the highest-rated "Tonight Show" of 2025 and giving the program a 57% increase compared to its year-to-date average of 1.1 million viewers, according to data from Nielsen Media Research. Gutfeld's appearance on NBC's late-night show also attracted 294,000 viewers aged 25-54, the demographic most coveted by advertisers, for a 13% increase from 2025 average. Additionally, Gutfeld's interview was last week's most-watched guest segment on the YouTube channel of "The Tonight Show." During the crossover event, Gutfeld revealed how he first met the fellow late-night host. After giving Fallon a warm embrace, Gutfeld quipped that it "brought back memories." "This is hilarious — we've met before," Fallon began. "Yes, you have no memory of it," Gutfeld responded. "Which is understandable, because we were wasted." The "Gutfeld!" host said their encounter took place at an "illegal speakeasy" in Hell's Kitchen roughly 15 years ago owned by their mutual friend Tracy, saying the inside looked "like a place where special ops forces waterboard terrorists." "You're not making this up. I totally know what you're talking about," Fallon interjected as his memory was coming back to him. "I think I remember bringing beer into the bar, and then him charging me for my own beer." "That's Tracy. He's very cheap, but if you want somebody dead, he'll do it," Gutfeld joked. Gutfeld then said he and Fallon saw each other, and the latter's eyes lit up. "And you run towards me, and you tackle me, like you're a giant golden retriever," Gutfeld recalled. "You're like on top of me. And so we're wrestling. We're wrestling. And then you change, and you start wrestling my buddy Andy, and you're wrestling him. And you guys get on the ground. You guys are now on the ground wrestling." "What?!" Fallon reacted in disbelief. "Yes," Gutfeld told him. "So, I pull out a cigarette. I light a cigarette, and I'm smoking it, and you stop, and you come over to me, and you grab it, and you crinkle it, and you go, 'These things will kill you!' and you threw it. And then I go, 'Dude, I'm not rich. You're rich.' Cigarettes are expensive in New York City. I yell, and all of a sudden, your face changed, and you looked sad, and then you left." But, Gutfeld revealed, Fallon returned with a fresh pack just five minutes later and handed it to his future guest. "I go, 'That was really sweet. You want me to die,'" Gutfeld said, as Fallon and the audience laughed. "I'm sorry I tackled you," Fallon said later with a grin. "It was all very good-natured, and it was a great memory," Gutfeld told the NBC host. "And I'm so glad I finally got to tell you!" "I'm so happy," Fallon replied. "That's a true story… I remember. All the details you said are correct." Gutfeld and Fallon also discussed his FOX Nation game show, "What Did I Miss?", where contestants who've been isolated for months try to pick real news from fake news. "Gutfeld!" was guest-hosted by Kat Timpf and continued its dominance on Thursday, finishing the night with the largest audience in late night across the board, with 2.7 million total viewers. Fox News Channel's "Gutfeld!" is the most-watched late-night program on television and regularly outdraws late-night offerings on NBC, CBS and ABC. Gutfeld is also co-host of "The Five," alongside Dana Perino, Jesse Watters, Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr., which finished July as the most-watched cable news program in America.
