Greg Gutfeld's nightly Fox News late-night show Gutfeld! will try to be funny, but not too "wacky"

The Hollywood Reporter

Gutfeld! premiered Monday night promising "as much Vitamin C as an orange," with jokes mocking CNN and a sketch with a Brian Williams impersonator. But Gutfeld says he realizes that, with viewers sticking around after watching Laura Ingraham, he can't go too far with humor. “I don't want people to finish watching Laura and then go, oh it’s time to watch the wacky hour! I don’t want that,” he says. “I want to be in their universe, so whatever the story is is going to dictate what we do, and oftentimes those stories aren't funny, so I am going to have to deal with that.” Gutfeld also says doing a nightly show allows him to take more risks. “When you are doing a show once a week you take fewer risks,” he says “When you up the frequency, you create a chemistry...  You could do something really stupid or weird, and if it doesn’t work, eh, you've got other stuff. And if it does work, that’s amazing. I think what I am really looking forward to is that I look forward to the adventurism, where something organically happens because you take a risk that you wouldn’t ordinarily take.”
