If you ever doubted the unpredictable power of live television, the latest episode of Fox News’ The Five put those doubts to rest. What began as a routine panel discussion exploded into viral chaos, thanks to a surprise absence, a wrestling legend, and one of the year’s biggest celebrity bombshells.

Jessica Tarlov Missing, Tyrus Steps In

Fans immediately noticed the absence of co-host Jessica Tarlov, known for her sharp liberal counterpoints and spirited debates. Her seat was filled by Tyrus (George Murdoch), the former WWE wrestler turned pundit, whose larger-than-life personality and quick wit have made him a cult favorite on Fox News. Tarlov’s unexplained absence sparked speculation, but it was Tyrus who quickly became the center of attention.

Dana Perino Drops a Bombshell

The episode’s headline moment came courtesy of Dana Perino. With a sly grin, she walked onto the set and dropped three cryptic words: “They’re engaged.” The ambiguity hung in the air, leaving everyone—including Tyrus—momentarily stunned.

Tyrus’s reaction was instant and unforgettable. He ripped off his glasses, tossed them onto the desk, and bellowed, “WHO’S ENGAGED?!” The studio erupted in laughter as the towering commentator fumbled between disbelief and comedic timing. Crew members struggled to contain their giggles, and viewers at home watched as a viral moment was born.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: Engagement of the Year

Producers quickly clarified that Perino’s bombshell referred to the newly confirmed engagement of pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL champion Travis Kelce. The news sent shockwaves through the entertainment and sports worlds. Swift, fresh off her record-breaking Eras Tour, had kept fans guessing about her romance with Kelce, who has become a favorite among Swifties and NFL fans alike.

Confirmation of their engagement collided two massive fanbases, creating a social media storm that dominated headlines. At the center of it all was Tyrus and his now-iconic glasses toss—a clip that immediately began circulating across X, Instagram, and TikTok.

Tyrus Turns News Into Comedy Gold

Once the shock settled, Tyrus leaned into the chaos. He teased Perino for her dramatic delivery, quipping, “Dana, you can’t just walk in here, drop ‘They’re engaged’ like it’s the weather report, and strut off!” The panel—Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld, and Katie Pavlich—burst out laughing, while viewers at home replayed the moment again and again.

Tyrus continued riffing, predicting Swift’s next album would be filled with “touchdown metaphors” and joking that Kelce’s Super Bowl ring might soon be outshined by an even bigger diamond.

Social Media Erupts: Fans Want Tyrus Full-Time

The internet responded with a tidal wave of support. Hashtags like #TyrusForTheFive and #SwiftKelceEngaged soared to the top of trending lists. Fans demanded Fox News make Tyrus a permanent co-host, with one user declaring, “Sorry, Jessica Tarlov, but Tyrus is the MVP!” Another wrote, “That glasses toss was ICONIC. Fox News, lock him in full time!”

Even viewers who don’t usually watch The Five admitted tuning in just for the chaos: “I don’t even watch Fox News, but this Tyrus guy just broke the internet with one move. Legendary.”

Panel Reacts: From Swifties to Politics

The engagement news fueled some of the show’s most entertaining commentary. Jesse Watters joked that Swift’s fanbase would soon “storm NFL stadiums like they storm Ticketmaster.” Greg Gutfeld predicted Swift and Kelce’s prenup would be “longer than her Eras Tour setlist.” Katie Pavlich warned that Swift’s growing cultural influence could spill further into politics.

And Tyrus, proving why he was the star of the day, mused, “Even a guy like Kelce probably had to rehearse that proposal speech a few times to keep up with Taylor. Imagine the pressure—worse than a Super Bowl!”

A Viral Moment for the Ages

From wrestling ring to news desk, Tyrus has reinvented himself as a media star. His blend of humor, blunt analysis, and outsider perspective has made him a fan favorite—now, with one viral moment, he’s being hailed as the breakout star Fox News needs.

As Swift and Kelce prepare for their wedding, Fox News faces a question of its own: Will Tyrus get a permanent seat at The Five? If social media has anything to say about it, the answer is clear—Tyrus didn’t just break the news, he suplexed it.
