Fox’s Bret Baier Sets Internet Ablaze With ‘Rapper’s Delight’ Performance

Fox News anchor Bret Baier went viral over the weekend after a video surfaced of him rapping and dancing to “Rapper’s Delight,” the iconic 1979 hit by The Sugarhill Gang. Clad in a button-down shirt and khakis, Baier surprised fans with a smooth and confident performance onstage, even slipping in a cheeky plug for his show: “Fox News Channel, you should watch, 6 pm, Special Report. It’s really good, very fair, very balanced, very fair.” The clip quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), with users celebrating Baier’s playful side. “@BretBaier should open every show like this,” one person wrote, while others dubbed him a “renaissance man.” Even Meghan McCain joined in, asking Baier to teach her husband his moves. While Baier has performed the rap classic at other events in the past, this latest rendition sparked fresh excitement online.

In contrast, fellow Fox News host Tyrus shared a deeply emotional message on Instagram, opening up about personal struggles, his weight loss journey, and the toll his actions have taken on his family—especially his wife. The heartfelt post revealed feelings of regret, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to personal growth. Fans responded with support and concern, touched by his honesty. These two moments—Baier’s joyful performance and Tyrus’s somber reflection—showcase the diverse, emotional range Fox News personalities are bringing to the public eye, resonating with audiences in very different but equally powerful ways.
