Fox News’ dynamic duo delivers another viral moment—this time, off-camera and hilariously heartwarming.
While most coworkers offer flowers or a congratulatory card after the arrival of a new baby, Jesse Watters had other plans. Following the announcement that his longtime friend and fellow Fox News star Greg Gutfeld had welcomed his second child, Watters surprised him with a gift that no one saw coming—and it left the entire studio in stitches.
According to behind-the-scenes reports, Watters presented Gutfeld with a life-sized plush “emotional support goat” wearing a miniature suit and holding a mock copy of The Joy of Sleep Deprivation. Why a goat? “Because, clearly, you’re gonna need a scapegoat when you’re late for work every day now,” Watters joked during a commercial break on The Five.
Gutfeld’s reaction? Instant laughter. The famously sarcastic host, known for his quick wit and deadpan delivery, was caught off guard—an increasingly rare occurrence. “I was expecting maybe a bottle of scotch or at least a pack of adult diapers,” Gutfeld said. “But this… this is performance art.”
Watters didn’t stop there. He shared a short video of the moment on social media with the caption: “Babies are cute, but sleep deprivation is funnier. Congratulations, G.G.” Within hours, the clip was trending among Fox News fans and meme creators alike.
Social media exploded with reactions ranging from “Only Jesse Watters would think of that” to “Greg’s laugh just made my day.” The moment added a touch of levity to a network usually associated with fiery political debates, reminding viewers that even the toughest pundits have soft spots—and sometimes, ridiculous friends.
While the identity and details about Gutfeld’s new baby are still being kept relatively private, the camaraderie between the two co-hosts has never been more public—or more hilarious. In fact, some fans are already calling for a Fatherhood-themed spin-off segment, jokingly titled The Five… AM Feedings.
Whether you’re tuning in for the politics, the banter, or the unexpectedly heartfelt goat jokes, one thing’s clear: Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters know how to keep the Fox family entertained—on and off the air.
