California Governor Gavin Newsom has intensified his criticism of Fox News late-night host Greg Gutfeld, issuing what he described as a “final warning” in a post on X.

In an all-caps message on Thursday, Newsom called on Fox to suspend Gutfeld, saying he “needs a fake laugh track” and “makes things up.” He also accused the host of being “easily triggered” when co-host Jessica Tarlov speaks.

Greg Gutfeld, often described as the “King of Late Night,” is the host of Gutfeld! on Fox News and co-host of The Five, one of cable’s top-rated shows. Known for his libertarian humor and sharp political satire, Gutfeld has built a reputation as a provocative figure in American media.

Newsom’s remarks came days after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! following backlash over Kimmel’s comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

During a recent monologue, Kimmel accused the MAGA movement of politicizing the murder case involving 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. His remarks prompted widespread criticism and renewed scrutiny of late-night commentary.

Meanwhile, CBS announced that it will end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026. The decision, attributed to financial concerns, comes despite Colbert’s strong ratings and has fueled speculation amid Paramount’s legal settlement with Donald Trump and its planned merger with Skydance Media.
