TV host Greg Gutfeld‘s long absence from his shows has made viewers wonder if Fox has fired him. He is most popularly known for hosting political talk show, The Five, and his late-night comedy show, Gutfeld, which premieres on the network. However, in recent days, he hasn’t appeared on both shows, igniting speculations.

So, here is a detailed article on whether or not Gutfeld is fired from Fox.

Is Greg Gutfeld leaving Fox’s The Five or still hosting it?

As of now, Gutfeld is not leaving Fox’s The Five.

The rumors about Gutfeld’s firing stemmed from his absence from The Five. Since then, many have wondered about his whereabouts and his potential return to the network. The show has continued to air on the network despite his absence, with his other co-hosts participating in conversations about social, political, and economic issues.

However, it doesn’t appear that the host has bid adieu to Fox. He recently posted an update on X (formerly Twitter) about his comedy show, which also premieres on the network, announcing the latest guests on it.

It seems like he’s just on a brief hiatus and would be returning to The Five sooner. However, the reason behind his absence is not known. Nevertheless, Fox doesn’t seem to have fired him. If that happens to be the case, he or the network would likely have released an official statement.

Following his absence, many have speculated the cause behind his absence from the shows. Viewers assumed that he might have taken some time off from his work to focus on his mental health. Some also believed that he might be absent due to some illness. But given that there has been no media coverage of him being sick in recent times, this possibility seems unlikely.

At the time of writing, it remains unclear when Gutfeld is about to return. However, he might join The Five before Christmas or in the new year.
