Greg Gutfeld Reveals Hilarious First Meeting with Jimmy Fallon
URGENT UPDATE: In a surprising and comedic reunion, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld shared the amusing story of his first encounter with Jimmy Fallon during his appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” on Thursday. The moment brought laughter and nostalgia as both late-night hosts reminisced about their unexpected meeting at an “illegal speakeasy” in Hell’s Kitchen approximately 15 years ago.
Gutfeld kicked off the segment with a warm embrace for Fallon, instantly sparking laughter. “This is hilarious – we’ve met before,” Fallon recalled, to which Gutfeld humorously replied, “Yes, you have no memory of it, which is understandable, because we were wasted.”
The duo shared details that painted a vivid picture of their past. Gutfeld explained that their encounter took place at a bar owned by their mutual friend, Tracy, describing the venue as resembling “a place where special ops forces waterboard terrorists.” Fallon confirmed the wild atmosphere, saying, “I think I remember bringing beer into the bar, and then him charging me for my own beer.”
The hilarity escalated as Gutfeld recounted a physical scuffle where Fallon tackled him like “a giant golden retriever.” This prompted the audience to erupt in laughter as Gutfeld described how he pulled out a cigarette, only for Fallon to take it, crinkle it, and throw it away with the admonition, “These things will kill you!”
Gutfeld’s witty retort, “Dude, I’m not rich. You’re rich,” led to a touching moment when Fallon returned just five minutes later with a fresh pack of cigarettes. “That was really sweet. You want me to die,” Gutfeld quipped, eliciting laughter from the studio audience.
As the segment wrapped up, Fallon playfully apologized for tackling Gutfeld, while Gutfeld expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to share the story. “It was all very good-natured, and it was a great memory,” he said, sealing their shared laughter with a warm sentiment.
Gutfeld also took time to promote his FOX Nation game show, “What Did I Miss?”, where contestants must discern real news from fake news. The late-night host’s rise to fame through “Gutfeld!” and “The Five” was also a topic of discussion, showcasing his evolving career in the media landscape.
As fans of both hosts tune in, this delightful exchange serves as a reminder of the bonds forged in the most unexpected places. Viewers can catch the full segment on NBC for more comedic insights and stories from the world of late-night television.
