When he disappeared from the panel without explanation, viewers turned to social media, with theories ranging from health concerns to behind-the-scenes tension at Fox News. Comments flooded platforms, with one fan posting, “Where’s Gutfeld? The show doesn’t work without him,” while others speculated about network politics.

Gutfeld’s ability to attract attention, even when off-air, reflects his larger role at Fox News. Since joining The Five in 2011, his unpredictable style and biting commentary have set him apart, earning both praise and criticism. His rise from hosting Red Eye to helming his own successful late-night show, Gutfeld!, further solidified his place as one of the network’s biggest stars. However, Gutfeld’s unapologetic approach has not come without controversy. He has consistently walked the line between humour and offense, a fact he readily embraces. “Humour is supposed to be edgy,” he once remarked. “If no one’s upset, you’re not doing it right.”

The frenzy surrounding his brief departure underscores his influence. Whether sparking debates or stirring controversy, Gutfeld remains a figure people tune in to see—or talk about when he’s gone. His return to The Five is eagerly awaited, not just by fans but by Fox News itself, as he continues to be a driving force for ratings and conversation. In Gutfeld’s own words, “If they’re still talking about you when you’re not there, you must be doing something right.”

[mehdih]

We have missed Greg horribly. We can’t wait for his return. 👍

[johnkidwell]

I do miss Greg on both the FIVE and Gutfeld, but was happy to see Tyrus and Kat Timp shine as guest hosts. They are just as sharp witted and insightful as Greg, and the interview that Tyrus did with President Trump was awesome.

[shellabarger]

I watch his program missed him and his witty honesty not much of today so great that he is back and valued by us all

[pennypotz]

[jimmilburn]

But your supporting cast is loved too, and they have done a good job carrying the show on while you have been away--but its still not the same--because its YOUR show!! And u are missed on THE FIVE as well--thats not the same either--I miss u and Jesse ganging up on Jessica, and miss u and Harold Ford Jr going at it!! Congrats on your new baby daughter--and cant wait to see u back soon!!

[hollymcknight]

Being a dad is about the best thing that anyone could miss work for. Congrats.

[Skyereal]

Though I know this will trigger some people in the comments (I don't give a freak) Fox News hasn't really been the same since they got rid of Tucker Carlson. The five is one of the few remaining shows that's worth watching along with maybe Laura Ingraham.

[nycskpe]

We miss you, Greg! However, we also wish you the best and congratulations! Your new gift is more precious than anything else in the world so enjoy! We hope to see you back…

[elainesteinmetz]

he became a DAD...and i think that's wonderful..have missed him and Jesse's tag team on Jessica on the five but the news was well worth me missing the fun..can't wait for his return to BOTH shows..much love to Greg and his family..

[juliethomas]

Greg Gutfeld is the only one I watch on tv. I do watch the Greg Gutfeld show sometimes when he’s not on there but I don’t like it as well.

[tearl]

His wife had a baby. Pothole Pete adopted twins and took maternity leave for 3 months to help his husband after the rough delivery.

[michaelbaucom]

He's on maternity leave, it was announced weeks ago, on both " The Five " and his nighttime show. The only controversy is when he's coming back--the educated guess would be after the new year holiday
