Greg Gutfeld was welcomed back to Fox News with open arms, several presents… and a scolding from his co-star Jesse Watters.

After a whopping 46 days away from the network, the Gutfeld! host made his eagerly awaited return after he shocked fans with the arrival of his firstborn child, a baby girl called Mira, with his wife Elena Moussa, 42, last month

Upon his return, Greg’s The Five co-stars had treated the 60-year-old to a handful of gifts to help him adapt to life as a father.

Dana Perino probed Greg about his new role, asking: “Greg, what every mom is thinking is, do you help with the 2am feeds?”

Greg brazenly answered: “Well, here’s the deal. No,” with a cheeky grin on his face, adding: “I kind of wander around and go, ‘Is everything okay?'”

The father of one did insist: “I give emotional support, but you know, Elena is kind of, like, pretty hands-on and keeps me away from it.

“She said to me that I’m terrible at everything, like, she says, I’m very clumsy,” Greg admitted.

Greg’s confession prompted his co-host Jesse Watters to point out: “So you’re not really that effective yet [but] Greg, you took 46 days off of paternity. What have you been doing if you’re not changing diapers and you’re not very helpful?”

Explaining himself, Greg revealed: “I watched everything Taylor Sheridan has ever put out,” referring to the man behind Yellowstone and creator of its prequels 1883 and 1923.

“Why is this guy writing everything?” Greg joked, adding: “I watched all of Yellowstone, Landsman, Lioness, Sicario two, it’s better than Sicario one, who knew?”

Later on in the segment, Greg also opened up about some advice a pal had given him before he welcomed baby Mira.
