In a moment that left viewers stunned, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld lost his composure during a heated exchange with co-host Jessica Tarlov, cursing live on air in what quickly became one of the most talked-about on-screen clashes of the year.
The confrontation erupted during a fiery debate on The Five, where tensions between the panelists are often high but rarely cross the line. This time, however, Gutfeld’s visible frustration boiled over as Tarlov pressed him with sharp counterpoints, leading the outspoken host to unleash an expletive that was not bleeped in time.
The unscripted outburst caused immediate shock among viewers, many of whom took to social media to express disbelief. Clips of the moment began circulating within minutes, sparking fierce discussion about professionalism, respect, and the combustible dynamic that often defines the popular Fox News roundtable.
While some fans defended Gutfeld’s raw reaction as a sign of his authenticity, others criticized the lapse, calling it an unacceptable breach of live television standards. For her part, Tarlov remained composed in the moment, continuing her argument as the tense atmosphere lingered on set.
Fox News has yet to issue an official statement about the incident, but insiders suggest that producers were left scrambling in the control room as the uncensored moment went out live.
What’s certain is that this clash will go down as one of The Five’s most explosive moments — a reminder that when fiery personalities collide, anything can happen on live TV.
