Kat Timpf’s Fox News replacement sends sweet message to comedian after cancer diagnosis as Gutfeld! star faces surgery

FOX News star Kennedy Montgomery has shared a sweet message to Gutfeld! co-host Kat Timpf as she fills her spot on the late night show.

Montgomery is replacing Timpf, 36, in her role on Fox News for the week while the comedian faces treatment for her recently diagnosed breast cancer.

On February 25, Timpf announced she had been diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer just 15 hours before going into labor with her first son with her husband  Cameron Friscia.

Two days later, Greg Gutfeld announced that Timpf would be taking time to treat her cancer and have it removed in surgery during her maternity leave from the network.

Montgomery, 52, is taking Timpf’s spot on Gutfeld’s comedy show panel all week – and shared a sweet video message to the new mom on social media.

“We are going to channel her goodness and her glasses and we will sprinkle the studio with absolute love and affection,” Montgomery said in a video posted to X.
