One moment he was hosting, the next he was clapping, spinning, and—yes—twerking in front of a cheering crowd. Viewers screamed with laughter when Jesse yelled, “Is this a kidnapping situation?!” in the middle of the cheer. It was chaotic, hilarious, and totally internet gold—and now fans are asking for a replay (and possibly a chiropractor).

In one of the most unexpected — and downright hysterical — moments to ever hit late-night television,Jesse Watters Primetime turned into a chaotic cheerleading showdown, and social media still hasn’t recovered.

It began like any other episode, with Jesse Watters filling in, tossing clever zingers and trading laughs with the usual panel. But just as things seemed routine… Emily Compagno and Kat Timpf stormed the set in full cheerleader uniforms — pom-poms, pleated skirts, matching sneakers, the whole deal.

The audience erupted as the duo broke into a choreographed cheer skit complete with high-kicks, exaggerated spirit fingers, and mock chants like “Give me a J! Give me a Mess!” aimed squarely at Jesse. Just when the crowd thought it couldn’t get wilder, Emily turned and yelled, “Come on, Jesse — you’re not sitting this one out!”

Jesse, laughing nervously, tried to escape — but Kat cornered him with pom-poms and zero mercy. What followed? Pure, unscripted chaos. Jesse flailed into a sloppy cheer routine: two claps, a half-spin, and a twerk attempt that left the crowd howling. One dramatic cheer jump ended with Jesse groaning and grabbing his back. “IS THIS AN AMBUSH?!” he yelled as Kat Timpf nearly collapsed from laughing too hard.

Emily quipped later: “It was supposed to be funny. Jesse made it historic. Also… we may owe him physical therapy.”

Can Kat Timpf cut it as a cheerleader?

Clips instantly went viral. One fan tweeted:
“I just saw Jesse Watters try to do a toe-touch in skinny jeans. I’m speechless.”
Another wrote:
“Kat and Emily were brilliant. Jesse looked like a dad lost at a TikTok convention.”

The moment is now being hailed as one of the greatest Gutfeld! segments ever — perfectly balancing satire, chaos, and cringe in a way only this crew can deliver.
