Greg Gutfeld is the new king of late night and Jesse Watters is apparently the king of 8 PM.
The two FOX News hosts are dominating cable news ratings and it’s easy to see why. They offer something different than liberal hosts on liberal networks who have been shrieking the same anti-Trump crap every night for more than a decade now.
The only thing MSNOW has going for it is that they come right out and admit that they’re basically ‘resistance’ TV, whereas CNN still tries to pretend that they’re somehow playing it down the middle.

Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters Dominate Cable News Ratings, MS Now And CNN Notch Prime Time Gains
Fox News continued its cable news ratings dominance in April with hosts Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters pulling in the biggest numbers, while CNN and MS NOW also notched prime time gains.
In Monday through Sunday prime time total viewers, Fox averaged 2.9 million viewers and 284,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic. Their totals across the day averaged 1.8 million and 173,000 in 25-54. April marked Fox’s third-most-watched April in the network’s history, according to Nielsen data.
The biggest numbers came from The Five, which averaged 3.8 million viewers, and Jesse Watters Primetime, which averaged 3.6 million. Those were followed by Sean Hannity’s show at 3.2 million and Gutfeld! with 3 million. Bret Baier over on Special Report also averaged around 3 million viewers overall. Those five shows took the top five spots for cable news for the month. Watters and Gutfeld are both co-hosts of The Five as well as hosting their eponymous shows — easily making them the two most-watched personalities in the cable news business.
In the 25-54 demo, Fox also took many of the top spots, though Rachel Maddow’s once-weekly show took fifth with around 280,000. Ahead of her landed Gutfeld! (349,000), Jesse Watters Primetime (335,000), The Five (329,000), and Hannity (319,000).
It certainly doesn’t hurt Gutfeld or Watters that they have both gotten so good at going after Jessica Tarlov on The Five.
Of course, she makes it pretty easy for them too.
