Greg Gutfeld, Fox News’ sharp-tongued late-night star, is gearing up to make a bold power move in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary suspension. The Fox News host, who is no stranger to taking advantage of moments of chaos, is now circling the late-night landscape, seeing Kimmel’s downfall as the perfect opening to solidify his dominance.

As previously reported, ABC made the controversial decision to suspend Kimmel after his comments about the killer of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk stirred up major backlash. Despite the suspension being temporary, the fallout has already been significant, with some ABC affiliates hesitating to carry Kimmel’s show when it returned to air. For Gutfeld, this is more than just a news event—it’s a potential game-changer.

Why Fans Think Greg Gutfeld Is Leaving Fox's The Five

A Political Advantage

Greg Gutfeld is not one to sit on the sidelines, especially when he senses an opportunity for his political brand to thrive. With the country’s political leanings shifting further right, Gutfeld believes his approach to late-night comedy positions him as the new favorite among viewers tired of the traditional liberal-leaning talk show hosts. According to an insider, “Greg’s been riding the rightward shift in the nation’s political leanings to his advantage. He also knows that the traditional late-night shows are dying with ratings declining for all of his competitors.”

While other late-night hosts, including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel, have seen their viewership numbers struggle, Gutfeld’s brand of political humor has been steadily growing. In the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, Gutfeld is seizing this moment to further capitalize on the changing media landscape. The way he sees it, Kimmel’s missteps have created a void in late-night, and he’s ready to fill it.

Gutfeld’s Self-Serving Victory

Sources close to Gutfeld have said that the host is not just reveling in Kimmel’s downfall—he’s using it to position himself as the new king of late-night TV. “Greg is all about using this situation to his advantage,” an insider told The National Enquirer. “He really thinks Kimmel’s comedown is a prime opportunity for him!”

Gutfeld, who already hosts the top-rated Gutfeld! on Fox News, is reportedly thrilled with the idea of rising to the top of late-night TV. Sources claim that Gutfeld feels “smug and important” about the possibility of eclipsing Kimmel, Fallon, and Colbert. Not only is he looking to outlast his late-night competitors, but he’s also ready to grow his empire beyond cable TV.

New Ventures: Streaming and Road Shows

While others may be content to stick to the traditional late-night formula, Gutfeld is thinking big. According to insiders, he has been exploring a number of different avenues to expand his influence. One such move involves the potential launch of a streaming spinoff of Gutfeld!—a version of the show that would offer uncensored comedy and political commentary to a younger, digital-savvy audience. This move would allow Gutfeld to bypass the restrictions of cable and tap into an entirely new market.

Additionally, Gutfeld is reportedly considering a nationwide tour, taking Gutfeld! on the road and performing live shows in politically charged states. This idea would combine the late-night format with fan rallies, turning his show into a traveling political and comedy event. It’s an ambitious move that would allow Gutfeld to deepen his connection with fans while further solidifying his status as a leading figure in conservative entertainment.

An Unstoppable Ambition

What truly sets Gutfeld apart is his ambition. According to the sources, Gutfeld’s goal is nothing less than to completely dominate late-night television. “Greg doesn’t see this as a blip,” said an insider. “He sees it as the beginning of a takeover. Kimmel’s stumble isn’t just entertainment to him—it’s a door swinging wide open, and Greg plans to walk right through it.”

While Gutfeld is already in a favorable position at Fox News, hosting both Gutfeld! and The Five, his hunger for more is apparent. He’s reportedly considering adding even more shows to his already impressive résumé. “Maybe he’ll even add another show to his impressive résumé. There’s nothing he can’t do, in his mind at least,” the insider said.

With the traditional late-night format in decline and a growing shift toward more politically charged programming, Gutfeld is keenly aware that the time is right to make his move. In fact, some sources believe that he may be planning to eventually move beyond the cable space altogether, making a name for himself as the undisputed leader of late-night TV in a new era.
