Greg Gutfeld's Controversial Joke about John Krasinski

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld sparked controversy during a segment on The Five by making an unfounded claim that actor John Krasinski is transgender after Krasinski was named People magazine's 'sexiest man alive.' Gutfeld stated, 'I think it's great that People has announced that a trans, uh, male can be the sexiest one alive,' despite Krasinski's cisgender identity, insisting multiple times that Krasinski is trans. His co-host Jesse Watters appeared confused and expressed that he was unaware of this assertion. Gutfeld's comments have drawn backlash on social media, with many viewers expressing disbelief and frustration over the misinformation. This incident follows previous controversial remarks from Gutfeld, including comparing the protection of LGBTQ+ youth to 'the most amoral act since slavery.' His history of making provocative statements has further fueled criticism of his credibility as a commentator.
