George "Tyrus" Murdoch is the host of Maintaining with Tyrus on OutKick, a Fox News contributor, a New York Times best-selling author, and a former professional wrestler. He joined the network in 2016 and regularly contributes to FNC’s late night program Gutfeld! (weeknights, 11PM-12AM/ET).A former college football player, professional wrestler, actor, and entertainer, Tyrus brings his sharp wit and wry sense of humor to his commentary on a variety of Fox News programs.
A native of Los Angeles, California, Tyrus experienced both a rough and unpredictable childhood, bouncing around foster homes at an early age. As he got older, his formidable frame led to jobs in security, which subsequently resulted in him joining Hip Hop superstar Snoop Dogg's security team.
In 2006 Tyrus made his pro-wrestling debut with the WWE. By 2014, he had adopted the ring name Tyrus for Total Impact Wrestling. A year later, Tyrus called out Greg Gutfeld on Twitter. Thus began a friendship and the rest is history. He's been appearing on Gutfeld’s programs ever since as well as contributing to various other Fox News Channel hit programs, including Outnumbered, Fox & Friends, The Five and The Daily Briefing.
