Fox News’ king of late-night comedy, Greg Gutfeld, has everyone in stitches – and shock – after savagely mocking MSNBC’s rebrand to “My Source News Opinion World” (MS NOW) as “one of the dumbest names since CNN+.” But the laughter turned dark when Gutfeld pivoted to the Epstein files on his show Gutfeld!, declaring, “If Trump’s not releasing something now, he knows more than we do – where were the Dems when we demanded answers?” This July 2025 quip, delivered at Turning Point USA, has ignited accusations of “merry trolling gone too far,” with critics claiming Gutfeld is hiding his own “face” in the scandal-ridden media world.
Gutfeld, whose show outrates rivals like MSNBC and CNN, has built a empire on irreverent humor. His MSNBC jab came amid Comcast’s spinoff, calling the new logo “like a discount computer from 1998.” Yet, tying it to Epstein – suggesting government cover-ups – has drawn fire. “Gutfeld’s blending comedy with conspiracy,” said a media watchdog. Insiders reveal he allegedly told producers off-air, “This Epstein stuff is bigger than any rebrand – it’s the real joke on America,” hinting at deeper knowledge. Fresh off a “woke” ban controversy earlier in 2025, where comedian Tyler Fischer claimed Fox censored him, Gutfeld’s Epstein comments have fueled rumors of internal Fox drama.
As social media erupts with memes and backlash – one user quipped, “Gutfeld roasts MSNBC, then Epstein-roasts everyone” – questions linger: Is he exposing truths or deflecting from his own controversies, like suggesting conservatives “reclaim” the term “Nazi”? With ratings soaring, Gutfeld’s next show could drop another bomb – don’t miss it, or you might regret what he reveals next.
