Greg Gutfeld will do Fox News show live in Milwaukee during Republican National Convention
Another late-night talk show is coming to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Fox News Channel announced Tuesday that commentator/comedian Greg Gutfeld will do his show "Gutfeld!" live from the network's set in the Deer District July 15-18, with a live studio audience.
"Gutfeld!" airs at 10 p.m. on Fox News Channel, and will immediately follow the channel's live coverage of the RNC, which will be anchored at Fiserv Forum and the Baird Center.
Gutfeld and panelist Kat Timpf will be joined by three guests each night, offering "commentary on news from the convention and other headlines of the day often through a satirical lens," Fox News said in a statement.
According to Fox News, "Gutfeld!" this year is averaging more than 2.2 million viewers, its highest ratings ever. The cable news channel recently extended Gutfeld's contract.
Fox News is broadcasting its coverage of the RNC in Milwaukee from Gather at Deer District, the space across the plaza from Fiserv Forum. Both the arena and the Deer District are inside the "hard" security zone set up for the convention. The zone will be controlled by the Secret Service during the convention, with credentials required to enter the area.
According to Fox News, tickets for the shows sold out shortly after Gutfeld announced the live shows on his broadcast Tuesday night.
"Gutfeld!" is the latest late-night show to plant its flag at the RNC in Milwaukee. Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" is planning to tape its shows in Milwaukee during the convention at the Marcus Performing Arts Center. Longtime host Jon Stewart, who returned to the show for weekly appearances earlier this year, will host the show on July 18, the convention's final night.
