Americans sealed away for THREE months for new Fox News show left stunned at massive headlines they missed
Fox News is bringing FOMO to a whole new level.
A new game show - set to premiere on Fox Nation Monday - pits four contestants against each other after three months at a house in Upstate New York.
The kicker? Contestants on the show, named 'What Did I Miss?' are kept in complete isolation, oblivious to the relentless news cycle occurring around them.
The result is a Big Brother-esque competition where contestants are tasked with figuring out what happened during their stay, during which they were barred from using their phones, the internet, television, and any social media.
In a clip obtained by DailyMail.com, competitors are seen attempting to separate real headlines from fake ones.
In this instance, the culprit was a caption detailing the very real market selloff caused by the Chinese start-up DeepSeek - an event that occurred just days into Donald Trump's presidency.
Contestants had missed it due to their January 20 to April 13 internment, paving the way for some interesting reactions.
Helping them along - or at least attempting to - were host Greg Gutfeld and Fox Business's Stuart Varney. The latter used his savvy to provide a rundown that, much like rest of the show, seemed stranger than fiction.
'A new Chinese AI tool, DeepSeek, isn't just powerful, it's cheap. Like, "free WiFi at a strip mall" cheap,' Varney - introduced by Gutfeld as 'the mortgage whisperer' - begins, seeking to explain the headline behind him.
'My nerd friends says it works just as well - or better - than America's ChatGPT.
'And now, we're seeing the big China robot brain make all the money go bye-bye very fast, like a *sad emoji*, woosh, boom, the economy dies,' he went on, mimicking fragmented AI speak.
The contestants appeared increasingly stumped as he spoke, trying to decipher the true meaning - if any - of the longtime finance journalist's words.
A title-card before them further insisted: 'Global fears about advancements of cheap Chinese AI is blamed for causing a trillion dollar Wall Street crash.'
As for Gutfeld - the host for the entirety of the three-part reality series - he brought out an AI-powered version of Varney on a screen on-stage, before suggesting the virtual version would be 'more cooperative.'
'Greg, my friend - how are you?' the computer carbon copy asked - leading the host to answer 'Great' before asking the same.
'Righty-o,' the bot replied - a clear jab at the journalist's British background.
In this instance, the culprit was a caption detailing the very real market selloff caused by the Chinese start-up DeepSeek - an event that occurred just days into Donald Trump's presidency
'AI Stu', at this point, took over.
'This wasn't just a crash. This was Silicon Valley's full-blown midlife crisis,' he explained to the contestants, who are joined by a live studio audience and a panel that includes Gutfeld! regulars Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow.
'Market go crashy-chash. Big stocks fall down,' Varney's computerized counterpart continued.
'Wall Street do big oopise. Zuckerberg sweat soy milk. America AI say self-care and wear expensive Patagonia vests - while Chinese AI lifts weights, smokes cigarettes, and sleeps with your algorithm girlfriend.'
As laughs rang out from those in attendance, the real Varney - who had been listening on - expressed complete awe by the computer's words, which he exasperatedly remarked was 'nonsense.'
'I'm out of here,' he sarcastically said, throwing up his hands in disbelief.
As he left the stage to let the contestants discern whether his story was fictional, his AI spinoff - which seemingly gained its vocabulary from source material sporting broken English - talked up the show's host one last time.
The final two more episodes drop right after on May 13 and 14, respectively, all on Fox Nation
'I may be artificial, but even I can calculate that Greg Gutfeld is criminally underpaid, wildly underappreciated, and still somehow overqualified for this circus.
'These are my kind of colleagues,' the longtime host of Gutfeld! quipped - leaving the game's players to come to their own conclusions.
Appropriately dubbed What Did I Miss?, the new show premieres Monday, May 12.

JoJo Siwa says she'll NEVER break up with Chris Hughes saying their relationship is ‘earthquake proof'
JOJO Siwa has admitted that she'll NEVER break-up with Chris Hughes - as she described their relationship as "earthquake proof". The new couple have been enjoying a whirlwind romance after meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house in March. Now, in a new interview, JoJo, 22, has revealed just how far her special connection with Chris, 32, really goes. Joining presenter Jordan North on Capital Breakfast this week, the Dance Moms star said: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. "And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her 'happy place' with Chris. The US star gushed: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! "And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best." During their trip to the countryside to meet Chris's parents last week, the couple couldn't keep their hands off each other as the Love Island hunk was pictured kissing JoJo on the neck. Yesterday JoJo said she is"shocked" at how close the pair have them have become in such a short amount of time. Speaking to Billboard, JoJo said: "It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that's the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for. "I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing. "You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell." LOVED-UP TRIP JoJo's interview comes fresh from a cosy weekend she spent with Chris and his family in the Cotswolds. The YouTuber shared their time together on social media, which included a series of loved-up snaps with the Love Island hunk. In one of the snaps, Chris could be seen picking his girlfriend up and carrying her, whilst in another they held hands. JoJo described holding her boyfriend's hand as "the one thing that can make everything better". She also shared pictures of the pair enjoying breakfast and cups of tea as she relaxed at Chris' family home. MISSING HER MAN JoJo, who fell for Chris in the Celebrity Big Brother house, said she struggled to go back to normal life without Chris when she returned to the US for a month. But now the American star, who hails from Nebraska, plans to spend more time in the UK. The couple also spent time together when JoJo was in England for her tour. The happy couple drove fans wild with an intimate backstage moment in a post to TikTok when the pair were seen hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other. 4 4

Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens breaks cover amid Riley Gaines trans feud
Simone Biles ' husband Jonathan Owens has thrown his support behind his wife amid her feud with Riley Gaines over transgender athletes in women's sports. Biles and Gaines have been in a bitter feud over the topic since Friday, when the latter remarked about a photo containing a transgender high school softball player. The legendary Olympic gymnast's response was long and harsh, comparing Riley's appearance to that of a male, forcing her to pull back on those comments in a subsequent apology. Owens' first public comments since the feud began was not an additional statement. The Chicago Bears player opted for a subtle route to support his wife. On Tuesday, he posted a screenshot of Biles' apology to his Instagram story with three silver hearts to show his support for her. The defender staying in line with his wife amid controversy is consistent with her actions when roles were reversed. The defender's first public comments since the feud began was not an additional statement Fans attacked Owens after he admitted to not knowing who Biles was before they met on celebrity dating app Raya in 2020. Criticism continued last summer after he was seen wearing his partner's gold medal from the 2024 Summer Olympics. In a post celebrating his wife, the NFL player posed next to her with the gold around his neck and wrote: 'Witnessing history every time you step on the mat - Congrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!! Just wow!!!! 8 of them!!!!! So thankful I was there to see it'. Several users blasted Owens for his 'odd' behavior on the night, while content creator Kiera Breaugh even told him to 'take it off' in a video which racked up 2.5 million views on TikTok. However, Biles took to the comments section to hit out at Breaugh and other users for criticizing her husband, branding them 'so f****ng miserable'. 'Crazy thing is, I put my medal on every single one of my family members and took pictures,' she wrote. 'So don't ever make assumptions. Like y'all are so f****ng miserable. leave us alone'. It is yet to be seen whether Biles feud with Gaines is over, as it has contained a few twists and turns. The OIympian broke her four-day silence after her first attack on Gaines by writing on X: 'I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I've always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. 'The current system doesn't adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn't help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for.' Gaines replied: 'I accept Simone's apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me. I know she knows what this feels like. She's still the greatest female gymnast of all time. A couple of things. Sports ARE inclusive by nature. Anyone can and everyone SHOULD play…' In a lengthy apology, Biles also admitted she didn't have the answers on how to include trans athletes in sports in a way that keeps everyone happy - seemingly acknowledging how polarizing her criticism of Gaines had been.
