In a rare and unexpected on-air moment, viewers tuning into Gutfeld! last night witnessed something they never saw coming: Greg Gutfeld’s daughter making a brief appearance on the Fox News set — and being referred to by a nickname that immediately melted hearts.

It happened just after a commercial break, when cameras caught a young girl with curly brown hair walking up to the desk. Gutfeld turned to her, smiled, and said warmly,

“Hey there, Peanut — what are you doing out here?”

The moment was unscripted, unplanned, and instantly viral.

Within minutes, social media erupted with questions:

“Greg Gutfeld has a daughter?!”
“Did he just call her Peanut? That’s adorable.”
“We need more of this Gutfeld!”

Though Gutfeld has always kept his family life fiercely private, this glimpse into his off-screen world struck a chord with fans. The girl’s identity was not disclosed, and no official confirmation has been made about her age or background — though insiders believe she’s his biological daughter, around 7 or 8 years old.

Sources inside Fox News told FoxInsider the moment wasn’t planned. “She was visiting the studio with Greg’s wife and wanted to say hi during a break,” said one producer. “He let her come on for a second. It was completely spontaneous.”

It’s unclear if Gutfeld will address the moment on future shows, but for now, fans are loving the softer side of the late-night host.

As one viewer wrote:

“He’s sharp, sarcastic, and hilarious — but that little Peanut just showed us he’s also 100% Dad.”
