Fox News Takes on Late-Night Comedy With Right-Leaning Show Bloomberg 1 hr ago
(Bloomberg) Fox News is entering the late-night talk-show wars.
The Rupert Murdoch-controlled network is moving its in-house political satirist, Greg Gutfeld, over to an 11 p.m. weeknights slot where he can go joke-to-joke with other late-night hosts, including ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Jimmy Fallon, who start about a half-hour later.
The network, part of Murdoch’s Fox Corp., has been buying ad spots on those and other late-night programs to promote “Gutfeld!,” as the new show will be called. Fox News even placed a billboard across the street from the Los Angeles studio where Kimmel records his show, declaring, “Cancel culture just got cancelled!” The Gutfeld program premieres April 5.
