Greg Gutfeld returns to Fox News after paternity leave

The inauguration live taping comes as Gutfeld is back behind the desk after an unexpected exit for paternity leave. The Fox News regular returned to air Monday night to share a comedy monologue (with a few sentimental bits) about fatherhood.

Gutfeld, 60, and his wife Elena Moussa, 42, welcomed daughter Mira in early December. His Fox cohosts announced her birth during a Dec. 10 segment.

"When my wife told me she was pregnant, mine was the first diaper she had to change," Gutfield joked in a speech laced with his signature disdain for liberalism.He continued about parenting: "It's not easy but it's not earth-shattering either, the lesson I learned is how much I gotta unlearn, meaning throughout my life I've mastered the art of being selfish."
