Kat Timpf Returns to ‘Gutfeld!’ After Beating Cancer and Welcoming Her Baby—With Her Signature Humor Fully Intact

When Kat Timpf made her long-awaited return to Gutfeld! after months away, the studio erupted with applause—and not just because the beloved Fox News personality had a baby. Timpf had also quietly fought and beaten cancer. But true to form, the moment was anything but somber.

In fact, it was hilarious.

“Kat had to one-up me,” host Greg Gutfeld joked during her welcome-back segment. “I had a baby too—well, sort of—but Kat just had to go and get cancer.”

Yes, only on Gutfeld! could a conversation about childbirth and a cancer diagnosis turn into a comedy routine, but that’s exactly what viewers love about the show and Kat herself. Even amid deeply personal challenges, Timpf returned with grace, strength, and the biting wit fans have come to adore.

A Life-Saving Birth

The story of Kat’s past few months sounds like something out of a movie.

Just hours before she went into labor, doctors discovered her cancer. The timing was nothing short of miraculous. Had she not been pregnant, the cancer might have gone undetected. In a strange, poetic twist, her baby didn’t just enter the world—he may have saved her life.

“If I were him,” Gutfeld quipped, “I’d use that forever. ‘Mom, can I take the car?’ ‘No, you’re 14.’ ‘Well, if I hadn’t been born, you wouldn’t be here to say no!’”

Kat laughed. “Honestly, he’s already changed my life.”

Despite undergoing surgery and continuing to face follow-up treatments, she remains upbeat. “I didn’t get stretch marks,” she joked. “I did cut my boobs off. So, no boobs. No cancer. That’s a fair trade.”

She delivered the line like a champ—and the crowd roared with laughter and admiration.

A Comedian’s Grit

Kat’s co-hosts and friends on the panel didn’t hold back their admiration.

Kennedy, who filled in during Kat’s absence, was visibly emotional. “I’ve been waiting for this day for so long. She’s so strong—like unbelievably strong. When she found out she was pregnant, she texted me five pregnancy test results. Then she called me with the cancer diagnosis… and went into labor just hours later.”

Kat refused a C-section, determined to have the birth her way—even while carrying the weight of terrifying medical news. “She just soldiered through,” Kennedy said. “It was painful. It was scary. But she never gave up.”

And at home, life isn’t any slower. Kat and her husband, Cam, are raising their baby without nannies or night nurses. “They’re just doing it—together. They’re an incredible family.”

Even in moments of domestic squabble, Kat’s humor prevails. Kennedy recalled a time when Cam resisted changing a diaper. “Kat yelled, ‘Cam, I have cancer!’” The crowd burst out laughing.

Texts, Tantrums, and the Timpf Touch

Greg also couldn’t resist poking fun at Kat’s well-known neuroses.

“I leave my phone on the desk for five minutes, and I’ve already got twenty texts,” he said, mimicking Kat’s rapid-fire messages: ‘Greg? You mad at me? Is it because of the thing I left in the bathroom? I guess I’m fired. Should I come get my things?’

He laughed affectionately. “That’s Kat. When it comes to big things, she handles them like a warrior. The small stuff? Pure panic.”

But it’s that combination—fiery resilience and comedic self-deprecation—that makes her such a standout voice on the show and a beloved presence behind the scenes.

Still More to Go—But Never Alone

Timpf was honest about the fact that her journey isn’t over.

“I still have reconstruction surgeries ahead. There’s more to go through,” she admitted. “But the hardest decision—choosing to prioritize my life—was actually easy. I didn’t want to risk it.”

She teared up slightly as she thanked her colleagues and fans. “Even David Angelo texted me,” she said with mock amazement. “And he doesn’t have a soul!”

“Yeah,” David replied dryly, “I just needed a phone charger.”

The crowd erupted again.

Big Ben and a Godzilla Gift

Tyrus, Kat’s longtime on-air partner, had nothing but praise. “This show’s been rough without you,” he said. “But I want to shout out Kennedy—she didn’t just carry the show. She stood by you like a real friend.”

Then he offered a heartfelt gift: a Godzilla action figure for Kat’s baby—whom he nicknamed “Big Ben.”

“Every kid needs a Godzilla,” he said. “This ain’t no doll. It’s his first action figure.”

Kat was visibly touched. “Thank you, Tyrus.”

Welcome Back, Kat

The night ended with a standing ovation. Kat Timpf is back—not just as a co-host, but as a survivor, a mother, and a shining example of strength through adversity.

The road ahead may still have bumps, but as always, she’ll face it with sarcasm, smarts, and a fiercely loyal team at her side.
