FANS of Gutfeld! saw the show temporarily pause in February 2022 due to the coverage of the war in Ukraine.

In October 2023, the popular show has had to pause for similar reasons.

Why isn’t Gutfeld! on TV this week?

On October 12, 2023, Gutfeld! announced on its official Facebook page that the show would be temporarily paused due to the coverage of events in Israel.

The post reads: “Gutfeld! will not air tonight or tomorrow due to continuing coverage of the war in Israel. For the latest, stay tuned to Fox News.”

Similarly, the show was pulled from its regular weeknight slot in late February 2022 because Greg explained on Twitter that the show would skip its normal schedule to allow room for coverage of the situation in Ukraine.

On March 3, he tweeted: “Gutfeld! will not air tonight due to breaking news. For the latest, stay tuned to @FoxNews.”

It came as Greg revealed that his mother-in-law was among those displaced in Ukraine.

At the time she was being housed in Lviv, a small town about 45 miles from the Polish border.

While speaking to Fox correspondent Lucas Tomlinson who is reporting in Ukraine, Gutfeld said, “Well thank you, Lucas, you’re in Lviv, so is my mother-in-law. I think she’s at your hotel. If you run into her, give her my best. Give everybody there my best.”

Gutfeld went on to thank his colleagues for their unwavering support and said, “I do want to point out that like our co-workers are unbelievably awesome, because the things that they have been doing for a grouchy, cynical bastard like myself.”

He added: “These guys over there, I won’t name them, but you probably know who they are, and you’ve seen them, are absolute heroes helping out a little old lady they just met.

“And maybe by tomorrow or the next day, she will be with her daughter and it’s because of those guys who work for Fox News.” 

Greg later revealed live on The Five that the family member had been safely evacuated as she was filmed reuniting with her daughter at the Ukraine – Poland border.

“Just to let everybody know my mother-in-law crossed into … Poland about half an hour ago, so she’s in a car on her way to Warsaw to see her daughter, Elena,” Gutfeld said on the air.

Has Gutfeld show been canceled?

A spokesman for Fox News told The Sun that Gutfeld! has not been canceled, but is temporarily being pre-empted by special breaking news coverage.

However, many disgruntled fans called out the program on Twitter, questioning when it may return to screens.

“When will Gutfeld return? No to little information on the shows return. Too much time and people will just move on,” one wrote.

Another added: “I am sick of not seeing Gutfeld. I know there is awfulness in this world right now…We need relief. Quit pre-empting the show.”

While a third penned: “Miss you guys on Gutfeld but understand. Hope to see the show again soon.”

Greg later announced on March 10, 2022, that the show will be returning on March 14.

When asked on Fox News when the show was coming back, Greg revealed the news before adding “I’m not supposed to say that!”
