Jimmy Fallon is a mensch.

The goofy, laid-back comedian, who helms “The Tonight Show,” might be the only corporate late-night host who managed to survive the first Trump era without morphing into an insufferable scold — and without getting himself completely cancelled by the left. The same cannot be said of Stephen Colbert, whose show was recently cancelled (by Paramount executives, not woke activists) due to its declining ratings and money-draining production costs.

In a surprising move Thursday night, Fallon hosted Fox News star Greg Gutfeld. Considering that Gutfeld is a conservative and Fallon’s competitor, and that 95% of the “Tonight Show” audience are probably liberals or registered Democrats, the crossover decision seemed odd. Gutfeld stands atop the late-night ratings hill as king. And surely, there were people in the audience who wanted political fireworks and grating questions from Fallon on why Gutfeld would support a fascist like Donald Trump.

However, the choice paid off and made for great television. The two comedians shared a conversation that was lighthearted and entertaining — and, refreshingly, non-political.
