Greg Gutfeld wasted no time diving into the deep end of political satire during the premiere of his new Fox News game show, What Did I Miss?, and in true Gutfeld fashion, no one was safe. The debut episode of the wild new format saw Gutfeld tossing out a barrage of bizarre news stories, asking contestants to decide whether they were real or fake. But it was a savage joke aimed at The View—the popular daytime talk show known for its outspoken anti-Trump stance—that truly grabbed attention, stirred controversy, and had the audience roaring with laughter.

A Wild New Game Show Format

What Did I Miss? brings a unique twist to the game show genre. Contestants are placed in total isolation, cut off from all news headlines since January 2025, and are tasked with determining the authenticity of strange and outrageous stories read by Gutfeld. While the bizarre news stories provide a chaotic and humorous backdrop, it’s Gutfeld’s ability to sneak in political jabs that steals the spotlight.

During one segment, Gutfeld read a headline about an asteroid the size of Manhattan heading toward Earth with a supposed deadline for the impact by December 2032. As the contestants debated whether the story was real or fake, Gutfeld couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the ladies of The View.

“I think Elon Musk is involved to stop it,” Gutfeld quipped, grinning mischievously. “I also heard they might try to enlist The View. Send them into space!”

The Audience Roars with Laughter

The audience erupted in laughter, but Gutfeld wasn’t done. He doubled down on the joke, adding: “They’re gonna use their bodies to block the asteroid.”

The humor hit hard, and the laughter was louder. The jab was sharp, aimed squarely at The View, which has frequently made headlines for its anti-Trump commentary and outspoken criticism of Fox News. It’s a rivalry that has been simmering for years, and Gutfeld, ever the provocateur, clearly saw an opportunity to escalate the tension.

But Gutfeld’s humor didn’t stop with the quip. After revealing that the asteroid story was, of course, entirely fake, he casually moved on to the next news segment, leaving the biting joke to linger in the air.

Gutfeld’s Roast: A Shot at the Divisive Politics of The View

The moment felt particularly pointed, given the longstanding tension between Fox News and The View. The daytime talk show’s panel, made up of co-hosts like Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and Sara Haines, often uses its platform to criticize the Trump administration, Fox News, and conservative politics in general. Gutfeld’s choice to use The View as the punchline for his joke not only gave the audience something to laugh at but also added a layer of political commentary—one that would not have gone unnoticed by viewers of both Fox News and The View.

While the jab was met with laughter from the studio audience, the internet was quick to react. Social media, particularly Twitter (now X), exploded with reactions, with many fans of Gutfeld’s style applauding his boldness. “Love the savage jab at The View! So spot on,” one user wrote, while another added, “Classic Gutfeld, always pushing boundaries and keeping it real.”

Fans React: Mixed Reviews for What Did I Miss?

The premiere of What Did I Miss? sparked immediate reactions from viewers across social media. Fans of Gutfeld’s no-holds-barred style loved the fresh, chaotic take on the game show format. One X user shared, “Looking forward to What Did I Miss? and Gutfeld! I’m loving the unpredictable style already!” Another chimed in, “Can’t wait for the next episode. This show is exactly what we needed.”

But as expected, not everyone was on board with the new show. Critics quickly voiced their opinions, and not all of them were positive. “He gets on my nerves and is NOT as funny as he thinks he is,” one viewer tweeted, clearly unimpressed by Gutfeld’s humor. Another user jabbed at the show’s concept itself, writing, “Pretty sure anyone watching Fox News is already disconnected from the real news cycle. Why would they need this show?”

The debate over the show’s merit continued to rage across social platforms, with some claiming that What Did I Miss? was a clever twist on the traditional game show format, while others derided it as politically divisive and shallow. The blend of humor and politics is certainly a recipe for strong opinions, and it appears Gutfeld’s show has succeeded in sparking just that.

A Preview of What’s to Come

Whether you love What Did I Miss? or find its style abrasive, one thing is clear: it’s only getting started. The show promises more unpredictable moments, wild headlines, and—if Gutfeld has anything to say about it—more jabs at the world of politics and pop culture. If the premiere is any indication, Gutfeld isn’t going to hold back when it comes to mixing humor with hard-hitting commentary.

The next two episodes, airing May 13 and 14, are sure to deliver more of the same. With Gutfeld’s sharp wit and knack for provoking conversation, viewers can expect more heated moments, controversial jokes, and perhaps even more celebrity targets. Gutfeld’s ability to balance political humor with satirical jabs at media figures ensures that What Did I Miss? will remain a must-watch for fans of irreverent, politically charged comedy.

Conclusion: Gutfeld’s Dominance on TV and Twitter

The premiere of What Did I Miss? has proven that Greg Gutfeld knows how to create controversy and comedy in equal measure. With his quick wit and political edge, he has once again made waves—this time, by targeting The View and turning it into a live TV spectacle. The clash between the liberal-leaning co-hosts of The View and Gutfeld’s conservative commentary is nothing new, but this moment felt different—it was a decisive moment where one generation (Gen Z’s Leavitt) confronted the establishment with the power of sharp, unapologetic words.

Whether you agree with Gutfeld’s style or not, his ability to dominate the conversation is undeniable. The joke at The View’s expense didn’t just bring laughs—it added fuel to the ongoing fire between Fox News and its liberal counterparts. If the following episodes are as explosive as the premiere, Gutfeld’s show is poised to become a mainstay in late-night political satire. Only time will tell if the wild ride will continue to resonate or become a flash in the pan, but one thing is for sure: What Did I Miss? has everyone talking, and that’s exactly what Gutfeld wanted.
