Fox News personality and late-night host Greg Gutfeld is set to broaden his television presence with an innovative game show "Greg Gutfeld’s What Did I Miss?" scheduled to premiere on May 12 on FOX Nation. Known for his current roles on "Gutfeld!" and "The Five," Gutfeld will introduce a political twist to the traditional game show format.
This three-part series introduces a unique premise: four contestants have been sequestered from the world, sans phones, television, internet, or social media, for three months starting on President Donald Trump's second inauguration day, January 20. The contestants stayed in isolation in upstate New York until April 13, during which significant events unfolded unbeknownst to them.
Upon re-entry into the world, these contestants are now faced with the challenge of discerning authentic headlines from fabricated stories in a post-inauguration America. The participant who best navigates the perplexing landscape of modern news will walk away with a $50,000 cash prize.
Lauren Petterson, President of FOX Nation, expressed excitement about the project, highlighting the sometimes blurred lines between truth and fiction and noting Greg Gutfeld as an ideal host to guide Americans through the headlines they missed during an unprecedented news cycle.
The game show will feature Gutfeld presenting contestants with news scenarios that range from the outright bizarre to those that are entirely plausible, as reported by Fox News. Regulars from "Gutfeld!", Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow, will contribute as panelists, offering color commentary and evaluating contestants' decisions throughout the competition.
Greg Gutfeld, recognized for his characteristic humor, commented on the show's concept, remarking on the amusing challenge contestants will face in learning about real-world events through the lens of his comedic presentation.
This new venture is a testament to Gutfeld's impressive track record in television. Since 2021, "Gutfeld!" has blended political satire with cultural commentary, securing high ratings. Gutfeld's history with the network includes his tenure as host of "Red Eye" from 2007 to 2015 and as a co-host of "The Five" since 2011, one of Fox News' most-watched programs.
The show represents FOX Nation's efforts to expand its original programming lineup, leveraging Gutfeld's appeal across different television formats. His late-night program recently achieved its most successful quarter, averaging 3.3 million viewers nightly and surpassing competing network shows. "The Five" has also seen significant viewership, drawing 4.6 million viewers in the first quarter of 2025, solidifying Gutfeld's standing within the network.
Off the screen, Gutfeld's personal life includes his marriage to Elena Moussa, a former photo editor for Maxim Russia and fashion stylist. The couple celebrated the birth of their first child, a daughter named Mira, in December 2024.
"Greg Gutfeld’s What Did I Miss?" will be exclusively available on FOX Nation, Fox News' subscription streaming service. The show's unique concept, which merges entertainment with current affairs, is anticipated to attract new subscribers to the platform.
