Greg Gutfeld, a late-night host for Fox News, made his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on August 8, and body language expert Judi James has revealed to The Irish Star what his gestures may have alluded to amid growing media tension.

“Gutfeld’s body language suggests he’s been dropped into his seat from a great height, and his incessant shouting suggests he’s missed the fact that microphones have been invented,” James told us. She added, “He sits slumped awkwardly here with his legs splayed wide, facing the audience with only his head turned to look at Fallon.”

She said that he “appears to control the narrative with his animated hand gestures and his endlessly entertaining, showboating storytelling, avoiding being actually interviewed by relating a long, hilarious bar tale about himself and Fallon.”

“He uses his index fingers to direct and dominate here and to direct the viewer’s attention. If there are any more ‘awkward’ moments, like when he discusses being fired, he converts them into positives, looking into the camera to describe it as ‘The best thing in the world’

“He is full of energy in an almost adolescent way and his signals of enthusiasm peak when he is plugging his new show at the end of the slot,” she explained.

The appearance marked the first time Gutfeld, a favorite of Donald Trump, sat on NBC’s late-night sofa. Fallon steered clear of politics, instead letting his guest recount a lengthy anecdote about the pair’s first meeting in a Hell’s Kitchen bar, where both were “wasted” and ended up wrestling.

“This is hilarious – we’ve met before,” Fallon opened. “Yes, you have no memory of it. Which is understandable, because we were wasted,” Gutfeld replied. He then described Fallon tackling him “like a giant golden retriever” before switching opponents and wrestling Gutfeld’s friend Andy.

Gutfeld also promoted his new game show, What Did I Miss?, and last week teased his Tonight Show debut as “the biggest crossover since the Harlem Globetrotters visited the Golden Girls.”

He praised Fallon for agreeing to the booking, saying, “Unlike the other guys, Jimmy sitting with me proves he’s not afraid of upsetting his peers or afraid of my mesmerizing charm.”

Fallon, who has faced criticism in the past for light treatment of political figures, stuck to easy banter.

He made one passing Trump joke in his monologue before introducing Gutfeld.

The president recently targeted late-night hosts including Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert, calling them talentless and predicting they could lose their jobs.

By contrast, Trump has long praised Gutfeld, celebrating his ratings and highlighting a Fox press release about the host’s audience numbers.
