Fox News fans got something on Monday that they’ve never seen before. They got a glimpse of anchor Bret Baier before he sits in the makeup chair. He posted a video on TikTok, and even though his name was on the video, many doubted what (who) they were seeing.
See for yourself. (WATCH)
OMG, I had no idea who that was until I heard the voice 👇😂 pic.twitter.com/EwPtiGZ0zl

😆 That was so weird. No idea who he was, until I heard his voice.

We’d recognize that voice anywhere, but admit that until this video, we wouldn’t recognize Baier out in the wild.
One poster compared it to a similar shocking media revelation.
Which is more surprising, Bret Baier without hair and make-up or Tim Pool without beanie? pic.twitter.com/E0lWt6pTqb

Why can’t Tim wear a regular hat like every balding guy. That beanie must smell like a wet skunk on a hot summer day.

We don’t ever want to see Tim Pool without his signature beanie ever again.
Some posters were taken aback by the notion that they’re not seeing the ‘real’ Bret Baier on television. Why the cover-up, so to speak?
Seriously? Do they put contacts on him too? And why accentuate the Dracula hairline? MSM goes to such great lengths to put their people in costumes and makeup, so they look nothing like their real selves… yet we are just supposed to trust that everything ELSE they represent to… pic.twitter.com/5QPBGHDN9m

...the American people is somehow honest and “authentic”???
That side by side is crazy.

Looks like a relative of Captain Kirk.

He also has Jack Nicholson eyebrows on the left. Makes him look nefarious 😂

Looks as if he gave up the black shoe polish hair color. Using a lighter box color?

I like him better with curly hair. More authentic and relatable

We’ll never be able to see Baier as anything but a grown-up Eddie Munster now.
Some say all the makeup and styling add years to his appearance.
I prefer his natural look over this: pic.twitter.com/67SLfgTbrU

He looks so much younger without the makeup.

I think so too.
— Julia Settembrino (@j_settembrino) July 28, 2025
With make up and hairdo he looks like an older Las Vegas performer who got all patched up, while he looks really nice IRL and way younger.
So, which Bret Baier do you prefer? Au naturel or anchor chair? Tell us in the comments.
