Fox News star Greg Gutfeld is adding a new show to his already busy schedule — one that will separate real news from fake headlines.
The top-rated late-night host of “Gutfeld!” and member of Fox News’ most-watched program “The Five” will helm the cheeky game show “Greg Gutfeld’s What Did I Miss?”
The three-part program, which debuts Monday, features four contestants who have been kept in complete isolation in upstate New York — with no phones, internet, TV or social media — during the first three months of the Trump administration.
“For these four contestants to learn what really happened while they were living in isolation, they’ll have to get through me first. Lucky them,” Gutfeld quipped.
Gutfeld will present the contestants with dozens of scenarios during their seclusion, which took place from Jan. 20 through April 13 and the winner must decipher the real headlines from fake ones.
With a prize of $50,000 on the line, their news judgment and senses of humor will be put to the test in front of a live audience and a panel featuring “Gutfeld!” regulars Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow.
In one clip, bewildered contestants mulled whether the following headline is real or fake: “Dr. Fauci is finally charged with fraud and misconduct in public office for his role in COVID.”
In this round, contestants worked together to figure out if the headline was legit.
“I don’t think that’s true,” said a contestant named Allegra.
After quick consultation, they all agreed and guessed correctly that the headline was false.
The 45-minute shows will be streamed on Fox Nation.
“Truth can be stranger than fiction and who better to help isolated Americans catch up on the headlines they missed during an unprecedented news cycle than Greg Gutfeld,” said Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson.
“We are excited for Fox Nation subscribers to have exclusive access to America’s most-watched late night host’s game show debut as he informs contestants about what really happened while they were completely off the grid and isolated from the outside world.”
The network is hoping to capitalize on Gutfeld’s popularity. The host’s late-night show, which airs from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., just delivered its highest-rated quarter in the program’s four-year history with 3.3 million viewers and 453,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25 to 54-year-olds, according to Fox.
That’s much stronger than late-night rival “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” which starts at 11:35 p.m. Colbert’s CBS show attracted 2.4 million total viewers in the quarter and 237,000 viewers in the demo, ratings website Late Nighter reported.
Meanwhile, “The Five” averaged 4.6 million viewers in the first quarter of the year, topping all programs on cable for the last 14 consecutive quarters, Fox said.
