Transcript
00:00Fox News is giving Greg Gutfeld a Super Bowl ad and calling him the new king of late night.
00:05A 15-second spot promoting the host's 11 p.m. late-night show Gutfeld will air during the big game.
00:11It will be Fox News Channel's only spot promoting one of its linear TV shows during the game,
00:15which is airing on the Fox broadcast network.
00:18The choice to promote Gutfeld suggests that Fox sees the show as a priority at the corporate level
00:22and one with potential crossover appeal to the non-Fox News viewers watching the game.
00:27Action.
00:28Hello, America.
00:29That's a wrap.
00:30What?
00:31Sorry, these ads are pricey.
00:33The tagline, the new king of late night, is in reference to Gutfeld's TV ratings.
00:37During both the 2022 TV season and January 2023,
00:41Gutfeld was second only to CBS's late show with Stephen Colbert and total viewers,
00:46beating NBC's Tonight Show and ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live.
00:49Gutfeld even beat Colbert from August to December in 2022.
00:53And with more than 100 million viewers expected for the big game,
00:56Gutfeld will get exposure far beyond any other marketing effort for his program yet.
