After Praising ‘Trump Outdoing Any President Tenfold,’ Gutfeld Ignites a Comedy Feud with Kimmel and Colbert

On April 30, 2025, Greg Gutfeld, the sharp-tongued host of Fox News’ Gutfeld!, stood before his cheering audience and delivered a line that would echo far beyond the studio walls: “Trump has done ten times more than any president before him in just 100 days.” The claim, a hyperbolic nod to Donald Trump’s first 100 days in his second term, wasn’t just a soundbite—it was a gauntlet thrown down in the arena of political entertainment. Gutfeld’s words lit up social media platforms like X, where supporters like @TVNewsNow and @KarluskaP hailed him as a truth-teller, while others braced for the inevitable backlash. But what unfolded next wasn’t the usual barrage of criticism from liberal media outlets like CNN or MSNBC. Instead, Gutfeld found himself in a fierce yet hilarious feud with late-night comedy giants Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert—a clash that would leave Fox News viewers roaring with applause, regardless of their true feelings about Trump’s whirlwind presidency.

A Familiar Spark: Gutfeld’s Trump Hyperbole

Gutfeld’s proclamation came during a segment of Gutfeld!, a show that blends conservative commentary with biting humor, often outpacing its late-night rivals in ratings. The context was Trump’s first 100 days, a period marked by a flurry of executive orders, immigration crackdowns, and economic promises that energized his base. Gutfeld, ever the provocateur, framed Trump’s pace as unprecedented: “100 days feels like 1,000 because Trump’s doing ten times what anyone else could.” The studio audience erupted, and clips of the moment spread rapidly on X, with posts like @CallieforTrump’s “Gutfeld nails it!” racking up thousands of likes.

For Gutfeld’s fans, the statement was red meat—a celebration of Trump’s relentless energy. But it was also catnip for critics, who saw it as sycophantic exaggeration. Liberal pundits could’ve pounced, as they did in 2020 when Gutfeld’s comments on Trump’s Charlottesville remarks stirred controversy. Yet, this time, the loudest response didn’t come from newsrooms. It came from the comedy stages of Hollywood, where Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, kings of late-night TV, were ready to sharpen their knives.
