Fox News’ comedic firebrand Greg Gutfeld brought his one-year-old daughter, Mira, to the set of his new game show, What Did I Miss?, for a year-end special in 2025, and the result was pure, adorable pandemonium. The episode, billed as a family-friendly finale, turned into a viral sensation when Mira, in a sparkly onesie and tiny sneakers, wandered onto the stage, transforming a trivia contest into a heart-melting spectacle. Fans are calling it the cutest takeover in TV history, and the internet can’t stop buzzing about the Gutfeld family’s latest adventure.
The premise of What Did I Miss? is simple: contestants guess which wild headlines are real after being “isolated” from news. But Mira stole the show before the first question. As Greg introduced the panel, which included Kat Timpf and Tyrus, Mira toddled out, clutching a toy microphone and babbling what Greg jokingly called her “opening monologue.” “She’s already pitching a spin-off!” he quipped, as the audience roared. Mira then “answered” a trivia question by throwing a stuffed panda at Tyrus, who dramatically fell back in mock defeat, declaring, “I’m outdone by a toddler!”
The chaos escalated when Mira decided the game show desk was her personal playground, climbing up to “co-host” with Greg. In a hilarious moment, she grabbed his script and waved it like a flag, prompting Greg to say, “She’s rewriting the show, and it’s better!” Kat improvised a “toddler trivia” round, asking Mira to choose between pictures of a cat or a dog, only for Mira to pick both and giggle uncontrollably. The clip went viral on X, with #MiraOnGutfeld trending as fans shared AI-generated videos of Mira hosting her own talk show.
Greg, embracing his dad role, shared that bringing Mira on set was a spontaneous decision. “Elena and I thought, why not let her see Daddy’s chaos up close?” he said. Elena, watching from the wings, joined in for a surprise cameo, helping Mira “award” a toy trophy to a contestant. The moment was a testament to Greg’s evolution from sharp-tongued satirist to doting father, a journey he’s openly shared since Mira’s birth in 2024. “She’s my toughest critic,” he joked, “and her feedback is mostly drool.”
The episode wasn’t without its hiccups. A planned skit went awry when Mira accidentally triggered a confetti cannon, showering the set in glitter. “We’re gonna be sparkling for weeks!” Greg laughed, brushing sparkles off his suit. The mishap only added to the charm, with fans praising the show’s unscripted joy. Social media erupted with memes, including one showing Mira as a tiny game show host with Greg as her sidekick. Some skeptics on X speculated the toddler’s appearance was a ratings ploy, but most saw it as genuine family fun, with one user writing, “Mira’s the real star of Fox now!”
The event sparked broader conversations about blending family and work in the public eye. Greg’s willingness to share the spotlight with Mira humanized him, softening his often polarizing persona. It also highlighted the show’s unique appeal, mixing sharp humor with heartwarming moments. As clips racked up millions of views, fans called for more family episodes, with some suggesting Elena and Mira become regular guests. Whether Mira’s a future comedian or just stealing hearts, her game show debut proved the Gutfelds know how to keep audiences hooked.
