Fox News' Greg Gutfeld debuts ‘fake news' game show on network's streaming service — with $50K on the line
Fox News star Greg Gutfeld is adding a new show to his already busy schedule — one that will separate real news from fake headlines.
The top-rated late-night host of 'Gutfeld!' and member of Fox News' most-watched program 'The Five' will helm the cheeky game show 'Greg Gutfeld's What Did I Miss?'
The three-part program, which debuts Monday, features four contestants who have been kept in complete isolation in upstate New York — with no phones, internet, TV or social media — during the first three months of the Trump administration.

'For these four contestants to learn what really happened while they were living in isolation, they'll have to get through me first. Lucky them,' Gutfeld quipped.
Gutfeld will present the contestants with dozens of scenarios during their seclusion, which took place from Jan. 20 through April 13 and the winner must decipher the real headlines from fake ones.

With a prize of $50,000 on the line, their news judgment and senses of humor will be put to the test in front of a live audience and a panel featuring 'Gutfeld!' regulars Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow.
In one clip, bewildered contestants mulled whether the following headline is real or fake: 'Dr. Fauci is finally charged with fraud and misconduct in public office for his role in COVID.'
In this round, contestants worked together to figure out if the headline was legit.
'I don't think that's true,' said a contestant named Allegra.

After quick consultation, they all agreed and guessed correctly that the headline was false.

The network is hoping to capitalize on Gutfeld's popularity. The host's late-night show, which airs from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., just delivered its highest-rated quarter in the program's four-year history with 3.3 million viewers and 453,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25 to 54-year-olds, according to Fox.
That's much stronger than late-night rival 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' which starts at 11:35 p.m. Colbert's CBS show attracted 2.4 million total viewers in the quarter and 237,000 viewers in the demo, ratings website Late Nighter reported.
Meanwhile, 'The Five' averaged 4.6 million viewers in the first quarter of the year, topping all programs on cable for the last 14 consecutive quarters, Fox said.

China says the U.S. undermined Geneva trade deal after Trump accuses Beijing of violations
China on Monday refuted Washington's claims that it had broken the Geneva trade agreement, instead accusing the U.S. for breaching deal terms, signaling talks between the worlds top two economies have taken a turn for the worst. Trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have flared up after a hiatus following a meeting between U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his Chinese counterpart in Geneva, Switzerland, that had led them to suspend most tariffs on each other goods for 90 days. The Donald Trump administration has ratcheted up export restrictions on semiconductor design software and chemicals to China, while announcing it would revoke visas for Chinese students, drawing ire from Beijing. Those measures "seriously undermine" the deal reached in Geneva, a Chinese commerce department spokesperson said. China, meanwhile, has kept a firm grip on its rare earths exports, contrary to Washington's expectations. "The U.S. government has continued to unilaterally provoke new economic and trade frictions, increasing the uncertainty and instability in the bilateral economic and trade relations," the spokesperson said. Last Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump accused China of violating its preliminary trade agreement with the U.S. In a social media post, Trump wrote, "China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!" The accusations were "seriously contrary to the facts," the Chinese spokesperson said Monday, claiming that Beijing had "strictly implemented and actively upheld" the agreements, citing its steps to cancel and suspend certain tariff and non-tariff measures announced in April in response to Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs. Bessent said in a Fox News interview last week that bilateral trade talks were "a bit stalled," requiring the two countries' leaders to speak directly. On Sunday, National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett suggested that Trump and China's President Xi Jinping could have a conversation about trade as soon as this week. Tensions between the U.S. and China have risen beyond just trade. Addressing the annual defense summit Shangri-La Dialogue on Saturday in Singapore, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth warned that the threat from China's mounting military pressure in the Indo-Pacific region was "real" and "imminent," urging allied nations to boost defense spending to push back on Beijing. China's defense minister was absent at this year's summit, a rare departure from its tradition of dispatching the top military official to the annual event for the first time since 2019. In a statement responding to Hegseth's speech on Sunday, a spokesperson for China's defense ministry criticized Hegseth's remarks for "instigating cold-war mentality" and "severely challenging China's sovereignty and rights." China's embassy in Singapore said in a social media post on Saturday, following Hegseth's speech, that "the U.S. itself is the biggest 'troublemaker' for regional peace and stability."
