On the night of May 13, 2025, Fox News’ late-night show “Gutfeld!” made history with a heart-melting moment that drew a staggering 2.5 million viewers, shattering previous records for the network’s 10:00 PM Eastern Time slot (9:00 AM +07 on May 14, 2025). The star of the episode was none other than Greg Gutfeld’s newborn daughter, Mira, who made her second on-air appearance, this time stealing the show in the arms of Tyrus, the beloved Fox News contributor and former wrestler. The tender scene, paired with an emotional video message from co-star Kat Timpf, created a viral sensation, leaving fans buzzing with excitement and anticipation for more family milestones from the Gutfeld crew. This record-breaking episode, aired just hours before today’s date of May 14, 2025, at 2:05 PM +07, has solidified Mira as a fan favorite and highlighted the unique bond within the Fox News family.
A Historic Night on Gutfeld!
The episode began with its usual mix of satirical commentary and humor, but the energy shifted when Gutfeld, 60, announced a special guest. “I brought someone who’s already a bigger star than me,” he quipped, as Tyrus walked on stage holding Mira, Gutfeld’s daughter with his wife, Elena Moussa. Born in late 2024, Mira had made her first public appearance on the show earlier that month, but this moment was different. Dressed in a white onesie with a tiny red heart, Mira looked out at the audience with wide, curious eyes, her soft brown curls catching the studio lights. Tyrus, standing at 6’7” and dressed in a dark suit, held her with a gentleness that contrasted his imposing frame, creating a scene that had the audience—and viewers at home—melting.
“Look at this little princess,” Tyrus said, his deep voice filled with warmth. “Greg, she’s already got your charm!” Gutfeld, standing beside him in a navy blazer, laughed, replying, “She’s got my smirk, but let’s hope she doesn’t inherit my dance moves!” The audience erupted in cheers, and the moment quickly became the highlight of the night. A digital counter on the set displayed the viewership numbers climbing rapidly, reaching 2.5 million by the segment’s end—a record for “Gutfeld!” and one of the highest for Fox News’ late-night programming. Social media exploded with reactions, with fans posting, “Mira on Gutfeld! broke the internet—2.5M viewers can’t be wrong!” and “Tyrus holding Mira is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen on Fox News!”
The Heart-Melting Moment
Mira’s appearance was more than just a cute cameo; it was a testament to the personal side of Gutfeld, who has gradually opened up about fatherhood since his daughter’s birth. Gutfeld and Moussa, a 42-year-old stylist and photo editor, have been married since 2004, meeting in London while he worked for Maxim magazine. They welcomed Mira after years of keeping their personal life private, and her presence on the show has marked a new chapter for the host. This episode, following her earlier debut with Tyrus and a family photo reveal, showed Gutfeld’s growing comfort with sharing his family with his audience.
Tyrus, a father of three, played a pivotal role in the moment’s charm. Known for his wrestling career as Brodus Clay and his humorous commentary on “Gutfeld!,” he has become a fan favorite for his larger-than-life personality. Holding Mira, he shared a brief reflection, saying, “Kids change everything, Greg. This little girl’s got a big future ahead.” The tenderness of the scene, combined with Gutfeld’s playful banter, struck a chord with viewers, many of whom saw it as a rare glimpse into the softer side of Fox News’ late-night lineup. One X user wrote, “Mira and Tyrus on Gutfeld!—I’m crying, this is so wholesome!” Another added, “Greg as a dad is everything I didn’t know I needed—Mira’s a star!”
Kat Timpf’s Emotional Message
The episode’s emotional peak came with a pre-recorded video message from Kat Timpf, a regular “Gutfeld!” panelist who has been sharing her own motherhood journey. Timpf, 36, who welcomed her daughter in February 2025, appeared on screen with a radiant smile, her blonde hair framing her face as she spoke directly to Gutfeld and Mira. “Greg, seeing you with Mira is the best thing ever,” she said, her voice cracking with emotion. “You’re an incredible dad, and Mira, you’re so lucky to have him. I can’t wait for our girls to grow up together and make more memories on this crazy show!” The message, aired during the segment, brought a tear to Gutfeld’s eye as he mouthed, “Thanks, Kat,” to the camera.
Timpf’s words resonated deeply with viewers, fueling excitement for future milestones involving the “Gutfeld!” family. Fans on social media began speculating about playdates between Mira and Timpf’s daughter, with comments like, “Kat Timpf’s message to Mira—my heart! I need to see these babies together!” and “Mira and Kat’s daughter growing up on Gutfeld!—this is the content I’m here for!” Timpf’s own journey, marked by a stage zero breast cancer diagnosis shortly before her daughter’s birth, has made her a symbol of resilience, and her connection with Gutfeld as a fellow parent added a layer of authenticity to the episode.
