In a March 2025 episode that turned Fox News’ Gutfeld! into a viral sensation, host Greg Gutfeld, co-host Kat Timpf, and guest Peter Doocy unleashed a tidal wave of adorable chaos by bringing their newborns to the set. Featuring Gutfeld’s daughter Mira, Timpf’s son Theodore James, and Doocy’s son George, the episode—nicknamed the “Baby Blitz”—saw the late-night hit trade its signature political jabs for a delightful dose of infant-driven mayhem. Airing at 10 p.m. ET to a record-breaking 3.3 million viewers, this chaotic yet heartwarming spectacle solidified Gutfeld!’s reign as America’s top late-night show.
The segment started innocently enough. Gutfeld, the 60-year-old mastermind behind Gutfeld!’s rise over competitors like Jimmy Kimmel, proposed a lighthearted bit to “show Fox’s family side.” Timpf and Doocy, both new parents, agreed, bringing their babies to the New York studio. What followed was anything but planned. Gutfeld, holding seven-month-old Mira, tried to deliver a monologue on cancel culture, only to be upstaged by her gleeful babbles. Timpf, with one-month-old Theo in her arms, cracked up as he grabbed the mic, cooing loudly. Doocy, the White House reporter, faced a parenting curveball when baby George sparked a diaper mishap, leading Tyrus to yell, “We’re under attack!” The audience went wild, chanting “Baby Gutfeld!” as producers scrambled to keep the cameras rolling.
Kat Timpf’s story added emotional depth. On February 25, 2025, she gave birth to Theo with husband Cameron Friscia, mere hours after a Stage 0 breast cancer diagnosis. Fresh from a double mastectomy, her return to Gutfeld! was a testament to her grit. Bringing Theo on set was a celebration of her journey, complete with a “Tiny Pundit” onesie gifted by Gutfeld. Her X post, “Theo’s TV debut was a mess, just like me,” struck a chord, with fans tweeting, “Kat’s a rockstar, and Theo’s already a legend!”
Gutfeld, a proud new dad, leaned into the chaos. Mira, born in December 2024, won over viewers with her beaming smiles, sparking fan memes of her as “Gutfeld’s mini co-star.” The episode’s 3.3 million viewers topped the show’s previous record, set during a 2022 Trump appearance. Gutfeld tweeted, “Mira’s got better ratings than me—time to retire!” Tyrus stole laughs by cradling Mira, joking, “This kid’s gonna headline WrestleMania someday.”
Peter Doocy, known for his White House press briefings, showed a tender side with George. His attempt to discuss policy was derailed when George yanked his tie, prompting Emily Compagno to quip, “George is the new White House spokesperson!” The trio’s dynamic—Gutfeld’s sarcasm, Timpf’s quick wit, and Doocy’s sincerity—created a warm, familial vibe. X exploded with #FoxBabyBlitz, with one user raving, “This is the cutest TV chaos ever!”
The episode’s charm lay in its raw authenticity. In a divided media landscape, seeing Gutfeld, Timpf, and Doocy as doting parents offered a universal appeal that silenced critics of Fox’s partisan image. As one X post read, “Greg, Kat, and Peter with their babies make you forget politics for a minute.” Producers are now floating a Fox Nation special, with Timpf joking on her podcast that Theo “might return if he gets a better dressing room.”
The viral clips of Mira’s giggles, Theo’s mic grabs, and George’s tie antics continue to rack up views, proving Gutfeld!’s knack for blending humor with heart. From skewering politicians to surviving diaper disasters, this baby-led episode showed why the show dominates late-night TV. As Gutfeld put it, “We planned for satire, but the babies wrote their own script.”
