TV star Greg Gutfeld 's John Krasinski joke went down like a lead balloon. The Fox News host cracked a bizarre joke during Wednesday's installment after discovering that John Krasinski was crowned People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. During a segment of The Five, Greg began talking about the a ctor being “trans” - despite the fact that John is cis-gendered - relating to a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex registered for them at birth.
Elon Musk's mom five-word celebration over son's exciting new role in government Donald Trump branded a 'joke' after he hands Elon Musk a huge role in the White House The View’s Sara Haines walks off set live after Whoopi Goldberg drops brazen admission “I think it’s great that People has dominated—or announced—that a trans , uh, male can be the sexiest one alive," the 60-year-old political commentator said as he seemingly stuttered over his words. “Krasinski never talks about it, but he’s, you know, he’s trans. You know that?” he told his The Five co-host Jesse Watters , who looked back with a puzzled expression.
“No, I didn’t know that,” a confused Jesse replied. “Yes. He’s trans.
He’s trans,” Greg continued to falsely maintain. The so-called comedian gave no context as to why he felt that label applied to the A Quiet Place actor. He moved on by joking about the title of Sexiest Man Alive, saying: "It seems redundant.
I’m assuming ‘alive’ is a given," before pointing out: “No one is thinking about dead dudes, unless you’re some kind of pervert like Larry Kudlow. I’ll stop there.” Don't Miss: Fox News calls out Trump's plan to 'deport grandma' and says 'people didn't vote for this' Melania and Donald Trump's 'worst clashes will be about freedom' but they share one thing Fox News' Jesse Walters not invited to his mom's Thanksgiving meal - fans aren't surprised Unsurprisingly, Greg's remark didn't sit well with fans, who stormed to X, formerly Twitter, to share their dismay.
One user @lwooderson asked: "@TheFive Greg, are you sure about John Krasinski being trans?" As another @MarkDrinnenberg echoed: "@TheFive What's up with Greg saying John Krasinski is trans and giving no indication he was joking?" A third person @mariannemonaco blasted: "Stop Greg, John Krasinski is not trans. #TheFive." with @slcrivers adding: "C’mon.
Humor. Sometimes it doesn’t work. Gutfeld is hilarious-usually- but here, bad comedy.
" Meanwhile, viewer @AnimalloveA defended the host, penning: "Oh, it was a joke. Get over it.".
