On June 1, 2025, Fox News Channel turned its New York City headquarters into a dazzling playground for a one-of-a-kind International Children’s Day celebration, honoring the kids of its hosts, contributors, and staff. The event, a first for the network, was all about building community and making unforgettable memories for the families behind the news. But the real showstopper? A hilariously over-the-top gift for Mira, the newborn daughter of Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, that had everyone doubled over with laughter and left social media in a frenzy.
A Family-Friendly Fiesta
Fox News, typically known for its fiery debates and primetime showdowns, went full-on family mode for the occasion. The network’s studio was transformed into a kid’s paradise, decked out with vibrant balloons, interactive games, and activity zones for all ages. Think face painting, a petting zoo with fluffy goats, a storytelling nook, and a craft station where kids could make their own mini news desks. The goal? To celebrate the children of Fox News’ on-air stars and unsung backstage heroes alike.
The brainchild of Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, the event was a nod to the network’s commitment to its people. “Our team pours their hearts into delivering the news. This Children’s Day is about giving their families a day to shine,” Scott told reporters. The guest list was a who’s-who of Fox News kids, from the offspring of Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Jesse Watters to those of producers and crew members, highlighting the network’s all-hands-on-deck spirit.
A Day Packed with Fun
The festivities kicked off at 10 a.m. with Scott and several hosts, including Greg Gutfeld, welcoming the crowd. Gutfeld, the 60-year-old comedian-turned-father to baby Mira with wife Elena Moussa, was all smiles as he praised the event’s vibe. “Fox News isn’t just about hot takes and headlines,” he quipped. “Today, it’s about the kids who keep us grounded—and probably steal our snacks.”
The kids dove into a whirlwind of activities. A “Junior Anchor” station let them deliver fake news bulletins from a pint-sized Fox News set, complete with toy microphones. A science zone, run by a local museum, had bubbling potions and slime-making, while a dance party area kept things lively with kid-friendly DJ beats. For toddlers, a cozy corner offered soft toys and nap mats.
Parents, used to the chaos of live TV, soaked up the chance to chill with their kids. Jesse Watters, spotted chasing his twins through the petting zoo, grinned, “This is the kind of chaos I can handle.” Laura Ingraham echoed the sentiment, noting, “It’s a rare treat to just be Mom for a day, no scripts required.”
The Laugh-Out-Loud Gift for Mira
The day’s peak came during a midday presentation when Fox News pulled out all the stops with a gift for Gutfeld’s two-month-old daughter, Mira, that was equal parts absurd and hilarious. As Gutfeld took the stage to thank the organizers, Suzanne Scott cut in with a mischievous grin. “Greg, we’ve got something for Mira that’s… let’s just say, uniquely you,” she teased, prompting cheers from the crowd.
Enter the gift: a custom-built, baby-sized “Gutfeld! Throne”—a miniature, plush replica of the iconic chair from Gutfeld’s late-night show Gutfeld!. Decked out in vibrant red velvet, the tiny throne featured a pint-sized microphone (complete with a squeaky toy sound effect), LED lights that flashed in sync with the show’s theme music, and a tiny embroidered logo that read “Mira’s Monologues.” The pièce de résistance? A built-in button that, when pressed, played a recording of Gutfeld’s signature laugh, followed by his catchphrase, “And that’s the way it is, folks!”
The crowd erupted in laughter as the throne was unveiled, with Gutfeld himself nearly falling off the stage in disbelief. “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen, and I love it!” he roared, holding up the throne for the cameras. The gift came with a video montage, compiled by the network’s production team, featuring Fox News stars like Sean Hannity, Dana Perino, and Jesse Watters delivering mock “news reports” about Mira’s future as a comedy prodigy. Hannity deadpanned, “Sources say Mira’s already booked for Gutfeld! in 2045,” while Perino added, “She’s got her dad’s smirk down pat.”
Gutfeld, known for his razor-sharp humor, was visibly touched beneath the chuckles. “Elena and I are gonna have to babyproof this thing, but Mira’s already the star of the show,” he said, his voice softening. “Thanks, Fox News, for making my kid the coolest two-month-old in town.” He later posted a photo of the throne on X, captioning it, “Mira’s ready to roast the news cycle. Thanks, @FoxNews, for the laughs and love! 😂👶 #GutfeldThrone”
A Meme-Worthy Moment
The “Gutfeld! Throne” was more than just a gift—it was a masterclass in playful absurdity, perfectly tailored to Gutfeld’s comedic persona. The throne’s over-the-top design sparked an instant meme frenzy on X, with users photoshopping baby Mira into various Fox News sets, complete with her tiny microphone. One viral post read, “Move over, Greg—Mira’s taking the 11 p.m. slot! 😂 #BabyGutfeld.” Another user quipped, “Fox News just invented the world’s first infant talk show host. Mira 2025!”
The gift also symbolized the tight-knit bond among the Fox News team. For Gutfeld, a network veteran who’s juggled comedy and commentary for years, the throne was a nod to his unique place in the Fox News lineup—and a reminder that his colleagues know him well enough to pull off a gag this epic. In a follow-up segment on The Five, Gutfeld jokingly vowed to bring the throne to set, saying, “Mira’s gonna co-host one of these days, and she’s already got better lighting than me.”
Ripple Effects and Reactions
The Children’s Day event dominated social media, with the #FoxKidsDay hashtag trending on X. Fans of Gutfeld flooded his mentions with praise for the throne, with one writing, “This is peak Fox News—news by day, comedy gold by night. Mira’s throne is iconic! 😂👑” Another user posted, “Greg Gutfeld as a dad is already funny, but that baby throne? Next-level genius.”
The event also prompted broader conversations about workplace culture in media. Hosts like Dana Perino and Jeanine Pirro praised Fox News for prioritizing family, with Perino noting on air, “Days like this remind us why we love what we do. It’s not just a job—it’s a community.” The event’s success has sparked talk of making it an annual tradition, with potential plans to invite local schoolkids or partner with children’s charities in 2026.
A Day to Remember
Fox News’ June 1 celebration was a triumph, blending family fun with a dash of its signature flair. For the kids, it was a day of laughter and adventure; for the parents, a chance to hit pause on the news cycle. But for Greg Gutfeld and his daughter Mira, it was a moment that will go down in Fox News lore. The “Gutfeld! Throne,” with its flashing lights and squeaky mic, wasn’t just a gift—it was a love letter from a network that knows how to blend heart and humor.
As the event wrapped, Gutfeld took the stage one last time, holding the throne aloft. “Fox News, you’ve outdone yourselves,” he said, grinning. “Mira’s not even teething yet, and she’s already got the best seat in the house. Here’s to family, laughs, and maybe a few more crazy surprises.” With that, the crowd cheered, and the “Gutfeld! Throne” cemented its place as the star of a day no one will forget.
