New York, NY – A recent appearance by Steve Martin and Martin Short on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” turned awkward after the comedic duo seemingly roasted host Jimmy Fallon for inviting Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld onto his show last month.

Fallon faced criticism for platforming Gutfeld, who hosts a political satire show and is known for controversial conservative views. Internet users were quick to voice their disapproval of the booking.

During their appearance this week with “Only Murders in the Building” co-star Selena Gomez, Martin and Short launched into a series of politically charged jokes directed at Fallon. Martin quipped, “Jimmy Fallon, or as the Epstein files know you as, ‘redacted,'” and later added, “Your smile is like an email from Trump – all caps.”

Short followed up with, “Honestly, of all the late-night hosts, I’ll miss you most… When you are deported to Uganda.” The jabs culminated with Martin declaring, “Well, I just love [your] show, I wish I could see it more. But, you know, it’s on so late, and I’m kind of a Gutfeld guy.” Fallon appeared noticeably uncomfortable, offering a terse “Oh yeah, interesting” before changing the subject.

The segment has since gone viral, with many online applauding Martin and Short for their pointed commentary. “Fallon looked incredibly uncomfortable the entire time and I love that,” one user wrote. Another added, “Love to see Fallon get really really really uncomfortable.” Some speculated that the two comedians, potentially mentors to Fallon, were directly addressing his choice to host Gutfeld.

The roast has reignited the debate surrounding Fallon’s decision to feature Gutfeld on his show.
