Fox News star Greg Gutfeld gave a half-hearted response when asked if late-night host Jimmy Fallon had been invited to appear on his show following Gutfeld’s visit to the Tonight Show last month.

The Gutfeld! host revealed spoke highly of his August guest spot on Fallon’s ABC show, before revealing that he hadn’t extended the same invitation.

‘It was fun!’ the Fox New host told The Los Angeles Times of his appearance, equating their conversation to ‘an old-school TV segment you would have seen on [Johnny] Carson.’

‘It’s good to see two industry people in whatever “supposed rivalry” who genuinely like each other without that other bulls***,’ he added.

‘I haven’t asked him to come on, though. Our show is a little different because if you come on, you’re on for the whole hour.

‘You’re also on with other people so it’s kind of a bigger ask of someone.’

During Gutfeld’s appearance on the Tonight Show last month was a friendly affair, with the two hosts embracing and reminiscing about their first meeting about 15 years earlier.

‘You look at me, and your eyes just kind of explode, and you run towards me and you tackle me like a giant golden retriever,’ Gutfeld said about encountering Fallon when they were ‘both wasted.’
