In a rare and tearful moment on his nightly show, Greg Gutfeld stepped away from the satire and spotlight to deliver a deeply personal update — one that left his audience in stunned silence.
“He was more than a dog. He was family,” Gutfeld said softly. “And last night, we had to say goodbye to Gus.”
Gus, the Gutfeld family’s beloved dog and an occasional on-screen cameo legend, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by those who loved him most. He was 13.
Viewers knew Gus not only as Greg’s loyal companion but as an unofficial mascot of Gutfeld!, often mentioned with warmth, wit, and genuine affection.
“Through every headline, every rant, every rough day — Gus was there. Tail wagging, eyes knowing, heart open.”
The news triggered an immediate outpouring of love from fans, colleagues, and even political figures, with #GoodbyeGus and #RIPGus trending nationwide within the hour.
Fox News co-hosts paid tribute live:
-
Dana Perino called him “the gentlest soul on four paws.”
-
Jesse Watters shared, “He was the only guest Greg never interrupted.”
Gutfeld ended the segment by holding up Gus’s favorite collar and fighting back tears:
“If heaven exists, there’s a sunbeam waiting for you, buddy. You were the good in all of this.”
Across America, families lit candles, posted photos of their own pets, and cried along with a man known for jokes — now grieving with raw, unmistakable love.
