New York, NY – May 30, 2025, 03:44 AM ET – Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, known for his sharp wit and unpredictable antics on Gutfeld! and The Five, left fans buzzing after a cryptic moment during Thursday’s live broadcast of his late-night show. The 60-year-old comedian paused mid-segment for a rare quiet moment at his desk, staring intently at a piece of paper, prompting wild guesses from viewers and co-hosts alike—until an eagle-eyed fan zoomed in on the name at the top of the page, unraveling a surprising twist.
The incident occurred during a discussion about Trump’s recent policy moves, a topic Gutfeld has frequently tackled with biting humor, as seen in his May 29 monologue where he roasted Democrats’ “Grand Plan” (radio.foxnews.com). Abruptly, Gutfeld stopped, sat down, and fixated on a document, muttering, “Well, this changes everything.” His co-host Kat Timpf, fresh off her return to Fox News after health challenges, quipped, “What’s got you so serious, Greg? Did Kamala send you another word salad?” The studio audience laughed, but Gutfeld’s silence fueled curiosity.
Social media erupted with speculation under #GutfeldDeskMystery, with theories ranging from a secret scoop on Trump’s administration to a personal letter. “Is Greg about to drop a bombshell on The Five crew?” one X user posted. Another guessed, “Maybe it’s a new game show twist—he loves those!” referencing his Fox Nation series What Did I Miss?, where contestants guess real versus fake headlines after months of isolation.
The mystery deepened until a viewer shared a screenshot on X, zooming in on the paper’s header, revealing the name: “Elena Moussa”—Gutfeld’s wife of 20 years. The document appeared to be a handwritten note, though the contents remained unclear. Fans quickly pieced together that the note might be tied to Gutfeld’s recent family milestones, including the birth of his daughter Mira in December 2024 with Moussa, a former model and photo editor. “Looks like Elena’s got a surprise for Greg—maybe a family update?” one fan speculated.
Sources close to the show later confirmed to The Wrap that the note was indeed personal—a heartfelt message from Moussa congratulating Gutfeld on the success of What Did I Miss?, which has drawn 1.8 million streams since its May 12 premiere. The note reportedly read,
