In very sweet and welcome news released on Tuesday, December 10, Fox News Channel personality Greg Gutfeld was announced as having a baby girl with his wife Elena. It fell to his best-known FNC show, “The Five,” to announce the great news on Gutfeld’s behalf, with co-host Dana Perino reading off Gutfeld’s funny statement.
Doing so on the extra moment on “The Five” used to announce the great news, Perino read off Gutfeld’s statement. Beginning, she introduced it by saying, “You might have noticed that our friend Greg Gutfeld hasn’t been here for a couple of weeks, and it’s for with a good reason. This is a statement that he sent me today, so I’m reading this as if I am Greg.”
Continuing, Perino started reading Gutfeld’s statement, including the funny jokes about the baby girl. She said, “‘It is with great joy that my wife, Elena, and I have welcomed a baby girl into the world. Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs. She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock hard abs. We are hard at work teaching her three languages and putting her through rigorous workout routine.’”
She continued, “‘She’s already very observant and has asked if Jesse wears a toupee. I told her that he definitely wears a wig.’” Gutfeld concluded the statement by saying, “‘As you can understand, we value our privacy and we thank everyone for the good wishes, and now I have to go stop Gus from licking her face.’”
Watters added, after Perino read off the statement, “Congratulations, Greg, Elena and Mira, welcome to the world. We are excited for you and enjoy this time together. We miss you, but we we are there in spirit that’s not changing diapers. Some of us miss you. Others are enjoying the time without you. Take as long as you want.”
Quite sweetly, a bevy of accounts on X (formerly Twitter) chimed in to leave their messages of support for Gutfeld and to express warmth regarding his new baby daughter.
