Yet for the most part, Colbert has treated Biden positively. Gutfeld has relentlessly mocked Colbert for this, saying last month: “I would not survive prison. I’d be one of the prizes in a card game. I’d become someone’s b***h faster than Colbert became Biden’s.”
"Greg Gutfeld’s acerbic wit and Stephen Colbert’s self-important satire have been locked in a ratings battle ever since Gutfeld! shocked the late-night world with its out-of-the-gate popularity 15 months ago.
"The competition has narrowed: When averaging the five weeks of ratings from June 27 to July 31, Fox News’ Gutfeld! beats out CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It’s worth noting, however, that Colbert was on vacation for the first two weeks of July and ran reruns during that time.
"From July 25 to 31, Colbert drew an average of 2,076,000 viewers while Gutfeld got 1,879,200. The prior week, July 18 to 24, Colbert hit 2,143,000 average viewers while Gutfeld got 2,009,200. Often, even when Colbert isn’t on vacation, Gutfeld comes out on top.
"Colbert’s Late Show, which premiered seven years ago, has, for the most part, topped late-night ratings ever since surpassing Jimmy Fallon’s cratering Tonight Show in 2016. Colbert’s formula of Democratic cheerleading interrupted by occasional comedic jibes has proven to be a success. (Here’s an attempt at humor from Monday: “This weekend, the U.S. Senate finally approved a bill to fight climate change … Thank God. Finally. Thank God, we’re at least going to try to save the planet because that is where I keep most of my stuff.”) During the month of June, Colbert averaged 2,187,000 viewers while Gutfeld averaged 1,956,000. Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon trailed behind with 1,690,000 and 1,327,000 viewers, respectively.". . .
