Greg Gutfeld’s Heartfelt Reminiscence on ‘The Tonight Show’

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld recently appeared on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” where he shared a touching conversation with host Jimmy Fallon about their supportive mothers. During the episode, Gutfeld, known for his top-rated show “Gutfeld!” on Fox News, recalled how his mother, Jackie, played a significant role in his career. Fallon highlighted that Jackie served as a “senior correspondent” during Gutfeld’s time hosting “Red Eye.” Gutfeld humorously explained that her primary role was to watch Fox News and keep him informed about daily events.

A Mother’s Influence and Popularity

Gutfeld fondly remembered how his mother was not only a supporter but also a popular figure among his friends. He recounted instances when he would come home to find his friends already enjoying Jackie’s company in the backyard. This anecdote resonated with Fallon, who shared similar experiences with his own parents. Both hosts agreed that having such supportive mothers was invaluable to their personal and professional lives.

Legacy of Support and Success

Gutfeld’s mother passed away in 2014, but she witnessed her son’s success with “Red Eye” and “The Five,” which has become cable news’ top-rated show. Gutfeld humorously noted that she didn’t see the rest of his career developments, suggesting it might have been for the best. Fallon also reflected on the impact of his late mother, Gloria, who passed away in 2017, and how her support meant the world to him.

A Chaotic First Meeting and New Ventures

In addition to reminiscing about their mothers, Gutfeld and Fallon discussed their chaotic first meeting and Gutfeld’s FOX Nation game show, “What Did I Miss?” The show challenges contestants who have been isolated for months to distinguish between real and fake news stories.
