Greg Gutfeld Celebrates Daughter’s Birth with a ‘Tiny Roast’ Featuring Comedian Jokes About 7-Pound Newborn

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, the irreverent mastermind behind Gutfeld! and The Five, has taken his knack for provocation to new heights by celebrating the birth of his daughter, Mira, with a “Tiny Roast” during a Gutfeld! episode on April 27, 2025. The 60-year-old first-time father, who welcomed Mira with wife Elena Moussa in December 2024, invited comedians to craft jokes about his 7-pound newborn, blending his signature satirical humor with fatherhood. The roast, featuring Gutfeld! regulars like Kat Timpf, Joe Machi, and Jamie Lissow, alongside surprise guests, sparked laughter and raised eyebrows, with jokes poking fun at Mira’s future trolling skills and Gutfeld’s late-in-life parenting. The event, following a surprise baby shower and a “Contract of Sarcasm” for Mira, has ignited X with reactions, from fans cheering the audacity to critics slamming the tastelessness, cementing Gutfeld’s status as late-night’s most polarizing figure.

The ‘Tiny Roast’ Takes Center Stage

The “Tiny Roast” unfolded during a special Gutfeld! segment, taped live in New York City before a raucous audience of 2.5 million viewers. Gutfeld, fresh off announcing Mira’s satire-novel-inspired name and her “Contract of Sarcasm,” introduced the roast with his trademark smirk: “Mira’s seven pounds, but she’s already roasting better than Kimmel. Tonight, we’ve got comedians taking shots at my kid—because if I can’t handle diaper jokes, how’ll I survive her teenage years?” The crowd roared, and co-panelist Timpf, seven months pregnant herself, quipped, “Greg, you’re roasting a baby? That’s low, even for you.”

The roast featured a lineup of Gutfeld! regulars and guest comedians, each delivering one-liners about Mira, Gutfeld’s age, and his Fox News crew, including godparents Dana Perino and Jesse Watters. The segment, which replaced the usual “Greg’s Leftovers” bit, lasted 12 minutes, with Gutfeld playing “roastmaster” and pretending to shield Mira from the barbs. Fox News amplified the event on X, posting clips that garnered 3.2 million views, with hashtags #TinyRoast and #MiraRoast trending alongside #Gutfeld. The roast’s audacity—targeting a newborn—drew comparisons to Gutfeld’s past controversies, like his 2009 Red Eye remarks about Canadian soldiers, but fans embraced it as peak Gutfeld chaos.

The Jokes: Sharp, Silly, and Slightly Scandalous

The comedians pulled no punches, crafting jokes that leaned into Gutfeld’s libertarian satire and Mira’s budding “legacy.” Highlights included:

Kat Timpf: “Mira’s so new, she thinks Greg’s monologue is a lullaby. Good luck, kid—those ‘woke’ rants don’t come with a snooze button!” The jab, referencing Gutfeld’s anti-“groupthink” tirades (NPR), earned a mock glare from the host.
Joe Machi: “At seven pounds, Mira’s already got more Twitter followers than Greg’s old Maxim UK gig. And she doesn’t even need a dwarf stunt to get attention!” A nod to Gutfeld’s 2003 firing for a publicity stunt, it drew gasps and cheers.
Jamie Lissow: “Mira’s name comes from a satire novel, but Greg’s parenting book? It’s just Atlas Shrugged with diaper coupons.” The Ayn Rand dig, tied to fan theories about Mira’s name, sparked speculation on X.
Tyrus: “Greg’s 60, Mira’s seven pounds, and Elena’s doing all the work. This kid’s gonna call Jesse Watters ‘Dad’ just to troll him!” The godparent jab had Watters, in the audience, feigning outrage.
Guest Lisa Montgomery: “Mira’s so tiny, she fits in Greg’s ego. But don’t worry, Dana Perino’s already teaching her to fact-check his jokes.” Perino, also present, laughed, nodding to her godmother role.

Gutfeld capped the roast with his own zinger: “Mira’s seven pounds, but her lungs are louder than a CNN panel. She’s already vetoed my ‘Make Diapers Great Again’ onesie!” The reference to the baby shower’s political onesies tied the event to Gutfeld’s ongoing fatherhood saga, with fans on X posting, “Mira’s roast was funnier than SNL’s whole season!”

Gutfeld’s Fatherhood: A Satirical Saga

The “Tiny Roast” is the latest chapter in Gutfeld’s transformation into a dad at 60, a journey he’s mined for comedy since Mira’s birth. Announced by Perino on The Five in December 2024, Mira’s arrival prompted a 46-day paternity leave, during which Gutfeld admitted to being “terrible” at parenting tasks, leaving most to Elena (Yahoo). His return in January 2025 included a monologue joking about “chewed-up nipples” and swipes at “trans” stereotypes, showing his humor unchanged (LateNighter). The baby shower, with “Libtard-Free Zone” onesies, and the “Contract of Sarcasm” for Mira to “sign” at two, set the stage for the roast’s irreverence.

Gutfeld’s parenting approach, rooted in his “punching left” philosophy (NPR), casts Mira as a future satirist. He told Fox News, “I’ve mastered selfishness, but Mira’s teaching me to unlearn it,” yet the roast suggests he’s doubling down on his provocative brand. The event leaned on his Gutfeld! crew—Timpf, Tyrus, and rotating comedians like Machi and Lissow—who’ve helped the show outrate Colbert and Fallon since August 2021 (Wikipedia). Perino and Watters’ godparent roles added a Fox News family vibe, with Watters joking, “Mira’s first roast? She’s ready for The Five!”

Cultural Impact and Polarized Reactions

The “Tiny Roast” has become a cultural lightning rod, amplifying Gutfeld’s dominance as “the Bill Maher of Fox News” (Variety). X exploded with reactions, from fans posting, “Greg roasting his 7-pound baby is why he’s king of late-night!” to memes of Mira in a tiny Gutfeld! chair, captioned “Ready to troll.” A Fox News X poll, “Should Mira get her own roast show?” saw 62% vote “Yes,” reflecting the 18-49 demographic’s love for Gutfeld’s edge (Wikipedia). The roast’s 4.9 million peak viewership, rivaling Trump’s September 2024 Gutfeld! appearance, underscores its reach.

Critics, however, slammed the concept, echoing past backlash to Gutfeld’s “cruel” jokes about migrants and the homeless (Media Matters). On X, one user wrote, “Joking about a newborn? Gutfeld’s humor is just mean-spirited.” Another referenced his 2023 Marlee Matlin jab, saying, “This is why I stopped watching” (IMDb). The roast’s political undertones, like Tyrus’ swipe at Watters, fueled debate, with some arguing it exploits Mira for ratings. Yet, supporters countered, “It’s satire—lighten up!” citing Gutfeld’s defense of “tasteless” humor (NPR).

Challenges and Speculation

The roast’s boldness risks alienating viewers sensitive to baby-related humor, especially given Gutfeld’s history of “crossing the line” (IMDb). His 2009 Red Eye controversy, mocking Canadian soldiers, resurfaced on X as critics warned, “This is Greg’s brand—funny until it’s offensive.” At 60, Gutfeld’s parenting stamina, already questioned by Tyrus’ “outrun” jab, faces scrutiny, with Elena shouldering most duties (Yahoo). The roast’s reliance on Gutfeld! regulars also sparked calls for fresher faces, with one X user suggesting, “Bring in new comedians—Joe Machi’s recycled bits are tired.”

Speculation abounds about the roast’s impact. Will it become a recurring Gutfeld! segment, like “Greg’s Leftovers”? Could Mira’s satire-novel namesake (Catch-22 or Slaughterhouse-Five?) inspire future jokes? Fans wonder if Perino will curb the edginess or Watters will egg it on, with one X post joking, “Mira’s godparents are gonna need a contract too.” The roast’s tie-in to Greg Gutfeld’s What Did I Miss?, his May 2025 Fox Nation show, suggests Mira may remain a comedic fixture, perhaps as a “guest” via baby photos.

Looking Ahead

The “Tiny Roast” solidifies Gutfeld’s ability to turn fatherhood into must-watch TV, blending diaper humor with his anti-“woke” crusade. With The Five’s 4 million viewers, Gutfeld!’s late-night crown, and a Fox News family—Perino, Watters, Timpf, and Tyrus—backing him, Gutfeld’s at the peak of his powers. The roast, like Mira’s “Contract of Sarcasm” and literary name, keeps her in the spotlight, a 7-pound star in his satirical universe.

X captures the vibe: “Mira’s ‘Tiny Roast’ proves Gutfeld can make anything funny—even a newborn!” As he preps for What Did I Miss? and juggles dad duties, Gutfeld’s roast ensures Mira’s debut is as loud as her lungs, setting the stage for a childhood of zingers and laughs.
