The show previously aired on Saturday and Sunday nights at 10:00 P.M. ET as ''The Greg Gutfeld Show'' from its release on May 31, 2015, until March 13, 2021. In February 2021, Gutfeld announced that the show would move to weeknights at 11:00 P.M. ET. In March 2021, Gutfeld revealed that the weekday edition of the show would premiere on Monday, April 5, under the new title ''Gutfeld!''. The final weekend episode of the show aired on March 13, 2021, and the first weekday episode aired on April 5, 2021.

''Gutfeld!'' was not affected with all of the other late-night shows including ''The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers'' and ''The Daily Show'' halting production. This was mainly attributed to the smaller backstage team of ''Gutfeld!'' compared to other late-night talk shows and the fact that none of them were members of the WGA before or during the strike. On June 26, 2023, Fox News announced that ''Gutfeld!'' would move to 10 p.m. beginning July 17, 2023, as part of a larger realignment of its primetime schedule, which means the show is no longer considered "late night" as it is no longer competing with other late night shows. The success of the show resulted in Fox News debuting a new comedy program called '' Fox News Saturday Night'' in June 2023, which often saw regular panelists Tyrus, Kat Timpf and Tom Shillue serve as interim hosts.

Format and segments

The show starts off with a monologue, and after introducing all the panelists, Gutfeld asks the panelists questions relating to the monologue. On Fridays, the panelists are introduced at the start of the show, and then there is a segment called "Greg's Leftovers", where Gutfeld reads jokes that were not used in the show for the week. The last block is "A Story in Five Words", where there is a news story summarized in five words. Other blocks may be local news, where panelists share news stories from where they are from, the audience decides the story, where two stories are told and whichever one gets bigger applause wins and gets to be the topic of the block, "Mailing It In" (only on Fridays), where Gutfeld reads questions from fans and he and the panelists answer the question, "Greg’s Animal Friends", where the panelists each select an animal related video to share, and "Mock It And Move On", where Gutfeld introduces two unusual or outrageous news stories or events and gets each of the panelists to analyze it, often in a comedic or sarcastic manner. When asked how he was discovered for the show, Tyrus said, "I was just messing around on Twitter one day and I said to Greg about one of the jokes on his show, 'I got it. It took me a minute but I got it.' He said, 'You know I've watched you. You're a pretty funny guy. Have you ever thought about coming on and doing the show?' I was like, 'Are you serious?!' He was like, 'Yeah, I'll give you a shot.
