Greg Gutfeld’s Smallest Co-Host Steals the Show — How Baby Mira Became Late Night’s Viral Sensation
From San Mateo to the Top of Late Night
Greg Gutfeld, 60, has been Fox News’ reigning jester since 2007 — a satirist who blends contrarian wit with cable news ratings dominance. From Red Eye to The Greg Gutfeld Show and now Gutfeld!, he’s built a brand that regularly beats Colbert, Kimmel, and Fallon.
Off-camera, though, Greg’s world is quieter — a long marriage to Russian fashion designer Elena Moussa, a Manhattan-upstate split, and until late 2024, no children. That changed in December when Elena, 43, gave birth to Mira, their first child. Greg broke the news on-air with a wink:
“Turns out, I’m not just a dad joke — I’m a dad now.”
The July 28 Episode That Broke the Internet
The Gutfeld! set is usually a circus of panelists — Tyrus, Kat Timpf, rotating comics — trading barbs under faux-brick walls and neon signage. But on July 28, Greg opened the show holding Mira in his arms, a headband reading Future Host perched above her big eyes.
“Elena’s out tonight — probably escaping the madness — so I’ve got no choice but to let Mira run the show.”
What followed was 15 minutes of unscripted gold:
Greg “interviewed” Mira about inflation; she responded with a spit-take on his tie: “That’s exactly how I feel about the Fed!”
She tried to eat the cue cards; Tyrus cradled her, warning Greg she was “gunning for your job.”
Kat Timpf declared: “Mira’s already funnier than half the guests we’ve had.”
When Mira wailed during an EV segment, Greg deadpanned: “Even babies know electric cars are a cry for help.”
By the commercial break, #MiraGutfeld and #BabyBoss were trending.
Why It Landed
Late-night TV is built on persona. Greg’s has always been part curmudgeon, part class clown. Mira softened the edges without dulling the humor. Viewers saw a conservative firebrand juggling cue cards and a drooling infant, and it humanized him.
In an ecosystem drowning in bad news, Mira’s cameo was a jolt of unfiltered joy. Even critics played along — Slate called it “the first unscripted thing on Fox in years, and it’s adorable.”
Mira: The Recurring Guest Star
This wasn’t her debut. Since February, Mira has:
“Reviewed” a book by drooling on it.
Given Greg a surprise kiss mid-show in May.
Been presented by Tyrus with a mini wrestling belt in June.
Each appearance built her cult status. The July episode simply blew it up.

TikTok remixes of Mira’s babbles over political speeches
Fan art of Mira behind the Gutfeld! desk: “When dad’s jokes bomb, but you’re the real star.”
Jimmy Fallon joked he’d book her. Elon Musk tweeted: “Mira for President 2060 — better platform than most.” Colbert ribbed: “Fox has a new host who doesn’t mince words… mostly because she can’t talk yet.”
Life Behind the Bit
Greg tapes in the evenings, rushes home for bedtime. Elena has scaled back her fashion brand to focus on motherhood. Instagram posts show her with Mira in matching outfits, captions like “Team No Sleep.”
Greg admits parenthood at 60 is surreal:
“I’m old enough to be her grandpa, but young enough to chase her around. Sleep? What’s that?”
In his 2024 The Plus sequel, he added: “One poop explosion, and your ego’s gone.”
Fox’s Quiet Win
Family cameos in late night are rare but potent. Carson’s occasional mentions, Letterman’s son’s cameos — they cut through the host’s persona and connect with audiences who don’t care about ratings wars. For Fox, Mira is proof that “we’re not just news; we’re fun” plays well with viewers and advertisers alike.
What’s Next?
Greg teased on the next episode: “If Elena leaves town again, who knows — Mira might get her own segment.” Fans are already pushing for “Mira Mondays.” Ratings for the July 28 broadcast spiked to 3.5M viewers.
Whether it’s a calculated bit or genuine dad-pride, it works. Mira’s takeover blended comedy, chaos, and heart — and reminded viewers that in the cutthroat world of late night, sometimes the smallest co-host makes the biggest impact.
As Greg signed off, holding his daughter: “Thanks for tuning in — same time tomorrow, unless Mira fires me.”
In the Gutfeld! universe, that’s a very real possibility — and audiences seem ready to vote “yes.”

FASHION FURY: MSNBC Insider SLAMS Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle Campaign—Claims “Hidden Conservative Agenda” Behind Retro Denim! A longtime MSNBC producer has set the internet ablaze, alleging that American Eagle’s latest campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney isn’t just cute denim and sun-soaked skies—it’s a carefully coded cultural statement. Critics claim the brand is quietly resurrecting conservative values, sanitized nostalgia, and a polished form of capitalism, all wrapped in the “innocent” aesthetic of Americana. What appears as harmless fashion might be a subtle ideological play, and for MSNBC, the critique hits uncomfortably close to home. Questions are spreading fast across media, style, and generational divides: Is this simply a retro trend we all fell for? Or is it the start of a strategic cultural rebrand hiding in plain sight? And what does it say about the line between style and ideology? The controversy is spreading like wildfire, exposing rifts between generations, between image and intent, and at the very heart of what we choose to wear. The full story behind this unexpected storm is shocking—and not what anyone expected from a fashion shoot.
