The 36-year-old comedian and writer joined friend and cohost Greg Gutfeld for the new Fox Nation show, What Did I Miss.

Timpf has joined a panel with Jamie Lissow for the show hosted by Gutfeld, where he quizzes participants who lived in complete isolation from January 20 to April 13.

During their isolation in upstate New York, they were stripped of any connection to the outside world, including social media and television.

With $50,000 on the line, the group must now decide which Trump-era headlines are real and which are fake, and it’s up to Timpf to either put them on the right track or to try and throw them off.

Timpf’s appearance on Gutfeld’s latest show is her first time back on the network since going on maternity leave in February.

The Fox News host rocked a red outfit with her signature glasses and hair pulled back into a ponytail.

During their on-air banter, Gutfeld joked that her baby’s name is “just a shrug emoji,” as Timpf laughed in response.

Turning to her after introducing Lissow, Gutfeld said: “Kat, you’ve been kinda away for 90 days. What’ve you been up to?”

“I had a baby and I beat cancer. All in two months,” Timpf said.

Back in February, Timpf said that she had been diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer just hours before going into labor.

“Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world,” she wrote on social media at the time.

“About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.”

The post, titled “An Unconventional Birth Announcement,” confirmed the cancer was caught early and had not spread.

“My doctor said I’m at Stage 0, which means it most likely hasn’t spread,” she shared.

Gutfeld Dominates Late Night

Gutfeld! (10-11 PM/ET) just posted its highest-rated quarter in the show’s four-year run.

The Fox News program drew 3.3 million total viewers, including:

453,000 in the 25-54 demo
287,000 in the 18-49 demo

The show beat all broadcast and cable late-night rivals, including:

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon
Late Night with Seth Meyers
After Midnight
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Gutfeld also co-hosts The Five (5-6 PM/ET), cable’s top-rated program, averaging 4.6 million viewers in Q1 2025.

The show has led all cable programs for 14 straight quarters.

Featuring an ensemble of Gutfeld, Harold Ford Jr., Dana Perino, Jeanine Pirro, Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters, the show is known for its fast-paced, opinionated format.

“I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom.”

“I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules – and not just because he might have saved my life,” she added.

Timpf later underwent a double mastectomy and shared candid updates from her hospital room in her trademark sarcastic tone.

FANS GUSH

Her return to TV prompted an outpouring of love from fans, many of whom flooded her comments with praise.

“Kat, you look amazing. You’re an inspiration to so many,” one wrote.

“Just started watching What Did I Miss but had to stop to say how great it is to see you again Kat!!” added another.

“Can’t wait to watch! So great to see you doing great!”

“It will be so good to see you Kat!! My husband and I have really missed you on Gutfeld!”

“I’ll watch, but I rather have you back on Gutfeld. You make me happy,” another fan said.

SHOW PREMIERE

The show’s first episode dropped on May 12, with the remaining two episodes streaming May 13 and 14.

Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson said the series was designed to catch people up on the “unprecedented news cycle” they missed.

“For these four contestants to learn what really happened while they were living in isolation, they’ll have to get through me first. Lucky them,” Gutfeld added.

Fox News personality Kat Timpf announces she’s pregnant with husband 10 years after tragic event & reveals biggest shock

FOX News personality Kat Timpf has announced she and her husband are expecting their first child.

Timpf admitted that her positive pregnancy test on May 30 came as a total shock due to her “geriatric” age.

“I never expected to find myself in this situation,” Timpf, 35, wrote .

“Actually, I’d prepared myself for every outcome but this one: First, I expected that I wouldn’t get pregnant, especially not naturally.

“Once I did, I expected that I’d probably miscarry. I mean, I am 35, which makes mine a geriatric pregnancy, medically speaking.”

The Fox News contributor added that learning she was pregnant felt nothing like she had imagined.

“In my imagination, I would wake my husband, who would sit up abruptly, look at the test, and be overwhelmed by this life-changing moment, leading us into a passionate embrace that we’d remember for the rest of our lives,” Timpf said.

“The reality? I had a hard time waking him up, and when I finally did rouse him, he said he couldn’t really see the line and rolled back over to sleep.

“For me, too, it was less of an arresting moment, and more of a slow realization: The line kept getting darker.”

Timpf detailed how she and her husband first heard their baby’s heartbeat on June 27, the day of the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump .

“We heard the heartbeat for the first time, and then we heard it again,” Timpf shared.

“It was never this exciting emotional rush of OMG, WE’RE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!!!

“Because I was far too aware of all things that could go wrong to become intoxicated by such an impassioned reaction.

“There was also something else working against the possibility of me experiencing all-encompassing astonishment, and that was, well, I was just too damn tired.”

A downhearted Timpf expressed sorrow about not being able to share the moment with her mother, who died on November 5, 2014.

“I feel a sense of unity and solidarity with all the women who have gone through this,” she wrote.

“If I’m being honest, though, I also feel sadness about there being one woman in particular whom I’ll never be able to share this connection with: my mom.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m very excited to be pregnant. I’m lucky to be able to do this, and to do it as part of a relationship that has given me the kind of happiness, security, and peace I once doubted could have ever seen possible for me.

“Still, it’s felt cruel, at times disorienting, and a bit unfair to have to try and figure out how to be a mother when I can hardly remember what it’s like to have one.”

Timpf shared how November 5, 2024, the anniversary of her mother’s passing, will mark her sixth month of pregnancy.

“What a world I get to tell my kid about. What a decade my mom missed,” she added.

“I’m glad, before the birth of my first, that I wrote a book (‘I Used to Like You Until,’ out in September) telling him or her not to view the world and those who live in it – that is, through a binary lens.

“It’s something my mother also taught me… or, more accurately, showed me.”
