The Writers Guild of America, the union representing 11,500 TV and film writers, went on strike Tuesday, and the late-night comedy shows went dark Tuesday night, in the first manifestation of what may end up being a long disruption for scripted TV. There are no talks scheduled between the WGA and the major studios, represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The last Hollywood writers strike, in 2007 and 2008, lasted 100 days.

GUTFELD! The number one show of late night is still fresh and will remain so.
Tune in to Fox News Channel 11pm Eastern. See why he's been the #1 in late night for the longest while.
“Gutfeld!” averaged 2.19 million viewers for August, beating CBS’ “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” at 2.16 million, according to Nielsen Media Research. Trailing in total average viewers were NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” at 1.34 million; ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” at 1.14 million and Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” with 383,000.

@CitizenD ....and now the whole story on the Gutfeld ratings:

"Gutfeld!" joined the late-night fray in April 2021, but didn't gain much mainstream notice until August 2022 when his total audience numbers edged ahead of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in the ratings, raking in 2.355 million to his 2.143 million. The Fox News late-night entry also dominated the key 25-54 demographic with an average audience of 397,000 viewers for that month to Colbert's 373,000 and NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" with 372,000 viewers.

For the entirety of 2022 and January 2023 "Gutfeld!" came in second to "The Late Show" in total viewers, which still has the show beating "The Tonight Show" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
