August 9, 2025 – New York City
Fox News host and late-night king Greg Gutfeld has just surprised fans with the announcement of an exclusive prime-time family special, set to air Sunday, August 17th at 8 PM ET.
The episode — a rare departure from Gutfeld’s usual political wit and satirical edge — will spotlight his private life, featuring his wife, Elena Moussa, and their 7-year-old daughter, Mira.
What’s already making waves is the teaser promise of “5 Shocking Secrets” about how and why they changed their daughter’s name — a story Gutfeld says will “surprise, amuse, and maybe even move” viewers.
The 5 Secrets Teased in the Promo
-
Her Original Birth Name Was Completely Different — Sources hint that Mira’s original name carried deep ties to Elena’s Russian heritage, but was changed for a reason that will “shock fans.”
-
A Letter From a Stranger Changed Everything — Gutfeld reportedly received a handwritten letter from a war veteran that influenced the decision.
-
A Hidden Hollywood Connection — The name “Mira” might be linked to an iconic actress that Gutfeld has never mentioned on-air before.
-
Legal Drama in Two Countries — The process reportedly involved navigating both U.S. and Russian legal systems, causing months of unexpected stress.
-
The ‘Middle Name’ Twist — Mira’s middle name, only revealed in this special, apparently pays tribute to someone Gutfeld calls “the most unlikely hero in my life.”
Why This Matters
Greg Gutfeld is famously private about his family life, rarely posting personal details on social media. This special will mark the first time cameras follow him at home, capturing moments of humor, parenting challenges, and raw emotion.
In the official promo clip released this morning, Gutfeld is seen holding his daughter’s hand, saying:
“The world sees me one way. She sees me another. And that’s the truth I want to share.”

-
“I’m setting my DVR now. Greg as a dad? This I gotta see.”
-
“The name-change secret better be as wild as he’s teasing!”
-
