As the show began, the palpable tension in the studio was evident. Fallon, known for his light-hearted and often playful interview style, welcomed Gutfeld with a mix of enthusiasm and apprehension.

The audience was on edge, aware that Gutfeld’s reputation for controversy could lead to unpredictable moments. After exchanging pleasantries, Fallon posed his first question, which was intended to be a light-hearted opener.

However, the response from Gutfeld was anything but expected.

“What do you think about the state of late-night TV?” Fallon asked, anticipating a humorous take. Gutfeld, however, seized the opportunity to critique the format itself.

“Late-night is just a safe space for people who want to avoid real conversations,” he quipped, sending shockwaves through the audience and leaving Fallon momentarily speechless.

This unexpected turn set the stage for a night filled with candid discussions that strayed far from the usual scripted banter typical of late-night shows.
