First on LateNighter: It’s been more than six weeks since Greg Gutfeld was last seen on Fox News, but mama, he’s coming home.
A rep for the cable news network confirmed to LateNigher early Sunday that Gutfeld will back on the air Monday, January 6, 2025, on both Gutfeld!, and on The Five.
Rumors began flying in early December after Gutfeld went missing without explanation from both shows for several weeks, ultimately prompting the host to release a statement with the unexpected news that he and his wife, Elena Moussa, had welcomed a baby girl. The child, whom they revealed is named Mira, is the couple’s first.
“She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs,” Gutfeld joked in the statement, which was shared on both of his shows. “We have been hard at work teaching her three languages and putting her through a rigorous workout routine.”
The host later posted a message to his fans directly on Twitter/X, writing “see, that’s how you keep a secret. thanks to all the nice words! see ya in a few!”
Gutfeld!, the show, has continued without Gutfeld, the host, with Kat Timpf, Tyrus, and Tom Shillue helping to keep his seat warm.
Gutfeld’s nightly show, which originated in April 2021 with an 11pm ET timeslot before moving to its current perch at 10pm ET, has become a ratings juggernaut for the cable news network.
According to year-end Nielsen ratings data released by Fox News, 2024 saw Gutfeld! grew its nightly average to 2,500,000 total viewers, a 35% increase over last year. Among viewers aged 25-54, it was a similar story, with a nightly average of 355,000 viewers, up 33% year-over-year.
The show now draws the most total viewers across all of cable TV at 10pm ET, and is the highest rated show across all of cable news among viewers 25-54.
Gutfeld himself has a busy 2025 ahead. In addition to being a new dad and his regular hosting duties on Gutfeld! and The Five, he’s lined up a dozen tour dates across the country.
perfect way to start the New Year
Glad you’re coming back. Neither show is the same without you. Congratulations to you both on baby Mira. I know you will be a terrific dad.
Congrats Greg & Elena and welcome Mira
Who Cares if You Return, I didn’t Know a Real Man takes Maturity Leave!. Shows how Big of a Wimp he is

shutty…
You need to get with the times. You can’t just be happy for them and their new baby? What a jerk go back to the view or CNN just gotta be a hater don’t ya.
I happen to care and I am glad Greg got to spend some time with his new baby.
Just plain and simple you are an ass!!
Really? You must be a Harris voter. Greg deserved the time off. Really glad he is back on tonight.
I am soooooooo happy for you and your wife. . Enjoy your moments!!!!!!!!God is in ALL them. You have been TRULY missed for being YOURSELF!!!!!! What a deal that is!!!!!!! Can’t wait for tomorrow. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to hear his take on a the news since he has been off.
You won’t understand this Greg:
I want to say ~May The Gods Always Shine Their Glory On Your Baby Girl, Wife and Yes, Even You,, Despite what you say and how you act,, You will be a wonderful Papa.. Congratulations to Mom as well..
What he says and how he acts on television is his shtick. which is the secret to his success.
Can’t wait for Greg’s return. He’s been missed but Kat has done a great job as a fill in. Tyrus has been adequate. He’s best when offering his insightful opinions.
Kat has improved a lot! Tom is still best replacement,with Perino very good when she does it occasionally. Tyrus is great, but much better as responder rather than as host.
yay he’s coming back
So happy for you both! What a surprise. You have been missed, but for the best of reasons. Congratulations!
Yay!
Hey Gutfeld, you’ve been missed yet. Your buddies have upheld the integrity of your show for your return. Congratulations on the new baby. Now you’re really have a reason to have poop jokes.
I love 😍 love the Gutfeld show. Your audience has missed you tremendously!! They have already let us know you were a dad now, but I thought they might have been joking. Glad to know they weren’t. Congratulations to you and your beautiful wife!! Also miss you on the Five.
I loved Red Eye and the GG!! shows. I did not realize that I was jonesing to watch the actual man himself until mid-December. So glad he is back tomorrow so I can stop waiting for him on a daily basis.

It will be great to see Greg back hosting his show after 6 weeks off. Not sure why men need 6 weeks to recover from their wives giving birth.
congratulations to Greg and his family. We always watch the Five and Gutfeld! Happy to have you back to both, was not the same without you. Greg keeps both shows on their toes.
Thank goodness! I had not watched except one or two times since he left and I said well, guess I won’t be watching that ever again because no one could compare to him to run that show. Everybody else was dull and drab so I look forward to watching it again!
