Why is Greg Gutfeld Not on Tonight?
Greg Gutfeld’s show isn’t airing tonight, and the simple reason is that Fox News is focused on breaking coverage about the death of Charlie Kirk, a moment that’s got a lot of folks tuning in, and honestly, it’s not the type of news anyone likes to see interrupt their usual lineup. I’ve seen Gutfeld miss airtime before, usually for election nights or the sort of “big news” moments that make the usual snarky banter take a back seat. @Gutfeldfox announced on Twitter that Gutfeld! will not air tonight due to breaking news coverage of Charlie Kirk’s death.
But this time, it feels heavier; regardless of which side of the culture war one sits on, a sudden loss like this draws a crowd and presses pause on the entertainment, even if, like me, you counted on Gutfeld’s oddball humor to unwind after a long day.
Fox is sticking with updates, tributes, maybe some grainy “moments of reflection,” the stuff that reminds viewers these are real people, not just faces on a screen. Of course, there’ll be folks venting online ("I tuned in just for Gutfeld!"), And some will even joke that Greg is probably enjoying a no-pants night off at home, catching up on old sitcom reruns.
But breaking news doesn’t wait for late-night laughs. It’s one of those nights when the usual show is replaced with headlines, a bit of somberness, and, let’s be honest, a shared sense of pausing together, however briefly, before tomorrow rolls around and the usual routine returns, quips and all.
