Late night war! Greg Gutfeld goes head-to-head with Bill Maher
By Sam Linden
Greg Gutfeld has gone head-to-head with Bill Maher, with both show hosts fighting for the top spot. However, there is only one winner as Forbes reported that Fox News show “Gutfled! is averaging 2.047 million viewers compared to Maher’s 352,000 viewers.”
Maher vs Gutfeld
Despite CNN now airing Bill Maher’s Overtime on Friday nights, Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld is proving to be a powerhouse in the late-night realm.
A new king of late night?
It seems that Gutfeld is indeed the newly crowned king of late night. Bill Maher on the other hand has seen a decline in the strength of his viewing numbers. From the Forbes report, it appears that there is no longer a contest between the two as Greg Gutfeld has been demolishing the competition.
In November 2022, Gutfled! hit a new personal record when the late-night talk show was watched by 2.55 million according to Cable News Watch.

Bill Maher’s future
Despite Bill Maher’s ratings for Real Time and Overtime coming in significantly lower than Gutfeld, the fact that the HBO host has been in the game for so long has proven beneficial as he has managed to amass a strong and loyal following.
However, many fans have moved away as they claim the comedian has become boring and somewhat grumpy as has time gone on. Maher’s continuous choices to enter the arena of culture war topics have been blamed for his downfall.
Gutfeld’s style is often more irreverent than Maher’s, and he tends to take a more right-leaning approach to political issues.
Maher is well-established in the entertainment industry and has been a fixture on HBO for almost two decades. He has weathered many controversies over the years and has proven himself to be a resilient and adaptable performer. However, he is also approaching 70 years old, which raises questions about how much longer he will continue to be a major force in the world of political comedy.

Gutfeld, on the other hand, is in many ways just getting started. He has been a regular presence on Fox News for years, but “Gutfeld!” is his first shot at primetime, and it has been a hit with audiences. The show’s success has raised Gutfeld’s profile significantly, and he is now seen as one of the rising stars in conservative media. However, as with any new show, there are questions about whether “Gutfeld!” can sustain its popularity over the long term.
Looking ahead, it’s difficult to predict exactly what the future will hold for these two comedians. Maher is likely to continue to be a major force in the world of political comedy, but it’s unclear how much longer he will continue to host “Real Time.” Gutfeld, on the other hand, is still building his brand and is likely to continue to be a major player in conservative media for years to come.
