The 2 late-night hosts had been each “wasted” about 15 years in the past when he and Fallon met for the primary time at an unlawful Hell’s Kitchen bar run by a mutual pal — one who seemed like “a cross between a Viking and a larger Viking,” the “Gutfeld!” host mentioned Thursday night time on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
The bar seemed “like a place where special-ops forces waterboard terrorists,” he added. “There was no bar … it was a cooler, like the kind you take to a beach.”
“Dude, you’re not making this up,” Fallon mentioned. “I totally know what you’re talking about. … I think I remember bringing beer into the bar and then him charging me for my own beer.”
The lads’s journal editor-turned-satirist recalled that their mutual pal operated that method. “He is very cheap, but if you want someone dead, he’ll do it.”
So he walks into the unlawful bar along with his buddy Andy Levy after the 2 had simply completed taping one thing — maybe “Red Eye w/Greg Gutfeld” — and Fallon sees him after which tackles him, he mentioned, “like a giant golden retriever.” Then the NBC host grabs Andy and the 2 fall to the bottom wrestling. So Gutfeld decides it’s time to spark up a cigarette.
However Fallon leaps up, rips it out of his mouth and shouts the aforementioned you’re-gonna-die warning. “I go … ‘Dude, I’m not rich. You’re rich,’” Gutfeld mentioned. “Cigarettes are expensive in New York City.”
He mentioned Fallon’s face all of a sudden modified to considered one of disappointment. “And then you left.”
5 minutes later, the “Saturday Night Live” alumnus got here again toting a recent pack of Parliaments, which he handed to the co-host of “The Five.”
“And I go, ‘That was really sweet. You want me to die.’”
Gutfeld, who was on “The Tonight Show” to advertise a brand new sport present he’s internet hosting, then remembered the group piling into Fallon’s automotive and tooling round to a different bar that was, nicely, in the identical constructing. “We literally drove from one door to another door … I think you wanted to impress that you had a driver.”
These are the issues, apparently, that occur to the wealthy.
“Yeah!” Fallon mentioned. “We had a nice ride, right?”
A pleasant trip certainly. Quick, however good. In the meantime, over on “Gutfeld,” fill-in host Kat Timpf was speaking about her erstwhile boss taking two full days off work to get a colonoscopy. Oh, how occasions have modified.
Fallon’s “Tonight Show” drew just one.19 million viewers within the second quarter with 157,000 within the demo. That trails Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show,” which has a 12 months to go earlier than cancellation and leads the 11:35 p.m. broadcast pack with 2.42 million viewers and 219,000 within the demo within the second quarter, adopted by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with 1.77 million viewers and 220,000 within the demo.
