Part 5/8:
In an intriguing twist, one late-night program that has bucked the trend and actually experienced a ratings boom is "Gutfeld!" on Fox News. Despite being on cable rather than a major broadcast network, "Gutfeld!" has achieved remarkable success, consistently beating its network counterparts in ratings over the past several years.
This phenomenon underscores a significant point: audiences seeking content that strays from the political mudslinging typical of network late-night shows are turning elsewhere. Whether on cable or through online platforms, viewers are gravitating toward programming that aligns more closely with their perspectives or simply offers a break from the relentless political polarization.
