<\/p>\n

\n

Now Fallon and the NBC talk franchise might also be accused of making a shrewd move.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The episode from Thursday averaged 1.71 million viewers, the most for a regular \u201cTonight Show\u201d episode since Dec. 19, 2023, LateNighter reported<\/a> off the Nielsen ratings. (That number has been surpassed in that time period by episodes that follow football games on the network and the Olympic opening ceremony.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The audience represented a 57% increase over its 2025 average, according to the Nielsen data reported by Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

LateNighter surmised that the controversial \u201cGutfeld!\u201d host \u201cbrought his Fox News audience with him.\u201d It noted that while fellow guests the Jonas Brothers might have also contributed to the viewership, watchers increased during Gutfeld\u2019s segment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The video of the interview is also by far the most-watched<\/a> in the last several days on the YouTube page of the \u201cThe Tonight Show.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The two avoided politics in their chummy chat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cFallon has always been a \u2018yes to everyone\u2019 man. The guy\u2019s got almost zero convictions,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
