In the world of late-night television, it’s not often that a segment leaves the entire audience doubled over with laughter, the host gasping for air, and social media absolutely melting down. But that’s exactly what unfolded on Gutfeld! last night, when Emily Compagno and Kat Timpf pulled off one of the most unexpected and hilarious stunts in Fox News history.

From News Desk to Pom-Poms

It all started innocently enough. The set was buzzing with its usual blend of quick wit and sharp commentary when, out of nowhere, Emily Compagno and Kat Timpf disappeared off-camera just as Greg Gutfeld was teeing up a new segment. The audience barely had time to wonder what was happening before the studio lights changed, the music shifted to an upbeat pop track, and suddenly—cheerleaders!

There they were: Emily and Kat, in full cheer squad uniforms—sparkling skirts, matching tops, and pom-poms that seemed to have a life of their own. The audience erupted as the duo sprinted onto the stage, leaping, clapping, and shouting a cheer they’d clearly spent more than a few minutes (and giggles) choreographing.

Greg Gutfeld Gets “Recruited”

The real chaos, however, broke loose when Emily—ever the ringleader—grabbed a spare set of pom-poms and cornered Greg at the desk. Kat blocked his exit. “You’re not getting out of this, Greg!” she teased, while Emily handed him the pom-poms with the kind of look that means: Resistance is futile.

With the crowd chanting his name and the band cranking up the tempo, Gutfeld surrendered to the moment. What followed can only be described as the most riotous, unfiltered dance routine Fox News has ever aired. There were attempted high kicks (Kat: “You got this, Greg!”), a hilariously awkward cartwheel (Emily: “10 out of 10 for effort!”), and even a split-second where Greg seemed to forget all about news, politics, and decorum—and launched into what could only be described as a dad-level twerk attempt.

Studio Mayhem: Laughter, Cheers, and Viral Chaos

The studio audience was in hysterics. Some people were literally crying with laughter. Tyrus, normally the king of deadpan, nearly fell out of his chair. Camera operators struggled to keep the shot steady, and producers backstage were spotted doubled over in fits of giggles.

Meanwhile, Greg Gutfeld, red-faced but grinning, managed to keep up with Emily and Kat for almost a full minute before collapsing into a heap of pom-poms, clutching his side and gasping for breath. “You didn’t warn me about cardio!” he shouted, sending the crowd into another fit of laughter.

Social Media: “Funniest Fox News Segment EVER!”

Viewers at home barely had time to catch their breath before the moment went viral. Clips of the routine flooded Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, with fans calling it “the funniest Fox News segment of all time,” “comedy gold,” and “the moment late-night needed.” Hashtags like #GutfeldDanceOff, #EmilyAndKat, and #GregTwerks lit up the internet.

“I haven’t laughed this hard at TV in YEARS. Greg Gutfeld twerking is something I never knew I needed!”

“Emily Compagno and Kat Timpf for President. Their cheerleader energy is undefeated.”

“Fox News, please make this a weekly thing. I beg you!”

Even rival shows took notice, with late-night hosts joking, “Somebody’s coming for our Emmy in the comedy category!”

Behind the Scenes: Planning the Madness

Later, Emily and Kat revealed that the routine was cooked up in secret over the past week. “We just wanted to do something wild to shake up the week,” Emily explained. “Greg had no idea what was coming. The fact that he went for it? Legendary.”

Kat added, “He’s a good sport, and honestly, it’s proof that we can all laugh at ourselves—especially when the world feels so serious.”

A Legendary TV Moment

As the dust settled and the last pom-poms were swept from the stage, Gutfeld closed out the segment by saying, “If the news ever gets too heavy, just remember: there’s always time for a dance break—preferably one you didn’t see coming.”

In a television landscape where unpredictability is rare, Gutfeld! delivered a classic: pure chaos, pure fun, and a reminder that sometimes, the best medicine is simply letting loose.

One thing is certain: Fox News fans—and Greg Gutfeld—will be talking about this wild cheerleader dance routine for a long, long time.
