In one of the most unexpected — and downright hilarious — moments to ever air on late-night television, Gutfeld! turned into a full-blown cheerleading tryout, and the internet still hasn’t recovered.

The Setup: A Typical Gutfeld! Episode… or So We Thought

It started like any typical episode of Fox News’ Gutfeld!, with Greg Gutfeld tossing out razor-sharp one-liners and the panel gearing up for their usual round of political commentary and pop culture roasts. The banter was on point, the energy was high, and viewers were settling in for another evening of the familiar Gutfeld! vibe.

But just when viewers thought they knew what was coming… Emily Compagno and Kat Timpf made their entrance.

The Cheerleaders Take the Stage

Wearing actual cheerleader uniforms—yes, with pom-poms, pleated skirts, and matching sneakers—the two Fox News stars stormed the set in full formation. The crowd erupted in laughter as Emily and Kat launched into a hilariously choreographed cheer skit. High-energy chants, mock-serious spirit fingers, and over-the-top pep flooded the stage, and the studio audience couldn’t stop howling. It was absurd, ridiculous, and perfectly in line with Gutfeld!’s brand of unhinged comedy.

But the real madness started when they turned to Greg.

The Moment of Truth: Gutfeld Joins the Squad

“Come on, Greg—you’re part of the squad now!” Emily shouted, tossing him a spare set of pom-poms.

What followed can only be described as chaotic brilliance. Gutfeld, grinning but visibly panicked, awkwardly joined in the routine. He tried to follow their choreography, which included a half-spin, two claps, and what might have been a questionable attempt at twerking. The crowd LOST IT. Audience members were howling with laughter, slapping their knees, and some were even standing to get a better look at what one person later called “the wildest thing I’ve ever seen on Fox News.”

Greg Gutfeld’s Struggle: A Cheerleader in Crisis

Kat Timpf and Emily, unable to stay in character, doubled over in laughter as Greg, who at one point shouted “Is this a hostage situation?!”, attempted a dramatic cheer jump that ended with him gasping for breath and clutching his lower back.

“It was supposed to be a lighthearted skit,” Emily Compagno later joked, “but Greg’s dancing turned it into a medical emergency.”

It was clear that Gutfeld, usually the one cracking jokes and maintaining control of the stage, was completely out of his element. But that’s what made the moment so hilarious. The more he struggled, the funnier it became. His half-hearted kicks, awkward arm flails, and defeated expressions only added to the spectacle.

A Social Media Explosion: The Internet Reacts

Clips of the moment exploded on social media within minutes, with users quickly spreading the absurdity far and wide. One user posted:

“I just watched Greg Gutfeld do a cheerleader kick on national TV. I need therapy and a replay button.”

Another added:

“Kat and Emily deserve an Emmy for this. Greg deserves a chiropractor.”

The moment became a viral sensation, with fans and critics alike praising the segment for its unscripted chaos and energy. It was clear that Gutfeld! had just reached a new level of entertainment—one where the line between political commentary and comedic absurdity had completely blurred.

The Legacy of the Cheerleading Skit: A Memorable Gutfeld! Moment

The segment is now being hailed as one of the most memorable in the show’s history—a perfect blend of unscripted comedy, absurd energy, and just enough chaos to remind viewers why Gutfeld! remains one of the most unpredictable shows on television.

As the dust settled and the laughter subsided, it was clear: Gutfeld! had just pulled off something that would go down in TV history. A political talk show? Yes. But also a space for wild, hilarious, and unforgettable moments like this one.

And in Case You’re Wondering: Yes, the Pom-Poms Survived

Greg’s dignity? Debatable.

But the pom-poms? They survived.

Gutfeld! once again proved that it can turn any situation—even a cheerleading skit—into a hilarious, viral moment. What’s next for the team? Only time will tell, but you can bet that fans are already eagerly waiting for the next absurd moment.

As for Gutfeld, one thing is certain: he’ll never look at a pom-pom the same way again.
