After Cancer Battle, Kat Timpf Receives a Heartwarming Message from Her Fox News Replacement!

Fox News personality Kat Timpf has temporarily stepped away from her role as she undergoes treatment for recently diagnosed Stage Zero breast cancer. In her absence, Fox News co-host Kennedy Montgomery has taken her spot on Gutfeld!, offering support and warm wishes to the beloved comedian.

A Shocking Diagnosis Amid Joyous Moments

Timpf, 36, shared the emotional news of her diagnosis on February 25, revealing that she was informed of the illness just 15 hours before going into labor with her first son, whom she shares with husband Cameron Friscia. Despite the life-altering news, she remained positive and determined to focus on both her newborn and her health.

Just two days later, Gutfeld! host Greg Gutfeld confirmed that Timpf would be taking time off for treatment and surgery while also managing her maternity leave. The comedian reassured fans on social media, stating, “Don’t freak out, it’s just like a little bit of cancer,” maintaining her signature humor despite the circumstances.

A Warm Welcome for Kennedy Montgomery

Fox News regular Kennedy Montgomery, 52, has stepped in for Timpf on Gutfeld! this week, bringing her signature energy to the panel. She also shared a heartfelt video message to Timpf on social media, expressing admiration and support.

“We are going to channel her goodness and her glasses, and we will sprinkle the studio with absolute love and affection,” Montgomery said in the clip posted on X (formerly Twitter). She lightheartedly added, “You’re going to want to pay for it, but I only take cash.”

Timpf responded to the kind words with heart emojis in a post on X, showing appreciation for the outpouring of love from colleagues and fans alike.

Fans React to the Temporary Change

Montgomery’s presence on the Gutfeld! panel has been met with enthusiastic reactions from Fox News viewers. Many took to social media to express their excitement and admiration for her stepping into the role.

“The greatest commentator ever to grace the Fox airwaves,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Definitely an appropriate choice—Miss Kennedy is the firecracker on the panel that we need in Kat’s absence.”

Others took the opportunity to share prayers and well-wishes for Timpf, with one viewer commenting, “Please let Kat know we are praying for her and her newborn baby.”

Timpf’s Resilience and Determination

Despite her diagnosis, Timpf has remained active in her professional role and personal life. She worked through the final days of her pregnancy, even appearing on-air past her due date. When she finally gave birth, she coupled the joyful announcement with her shocking medical news, telling fans that she would soon undergo a double mastectomy as part of her treatment plan.

She later opened up about the decision, explaining, “I find it devastating, but I am very grateful to have access to the opinions of many brilliant minds when it comes to breast cancer.” She also responded to unsolicited medical advice from fans, stating, “I trust my doctors to give me the best advice. The focus of all these conversations is: What’s the best thing to do to keep me alive so I’m around for my son for a long time?”

What’s Next?

It remains unclear who will take Timpf’s spot on Gutfeld! after Montgomery’s week-long stint. However, the show continues to be a staple in late-night political comedy, airing every weekday at 11 p.m. EST.

Fox News confirmed that Gutfeld! will not air on Tuesday due to former President Donald Trump’s first joint address to Congress, which will be broadcast during that timeslot.

As Timpf focuses on her health and new motherhood, fans remain hopeful for her quick recovery and return to television. In the meantime, Montgomery’s presence ensures the show carries on with humor, heart, and unwavering support for their beloved colleague.
