Kat Timpf’s Emotional Return to Gutfeld! Moves Studio with Greg Gutfeld’s Heartfelt Tribute

New York, 3 January 2026 – Fox News personality Kat Timpf made a triumphant and deeply emotional return to Gutfeld! on June 16, 2025, after a challenging maternity leave marked by the birth of her son and a concurrent battle with breast cancer, leaving the studio visibly moved by host Greg Gutfeld’s unexpected tribute.

Timpf, 36, had been absent since February 2025 when she announced her pregnancy and, shockingly, a stage 0 breast cancer diagnosis discovered just hours before giving birth to her son on February 25. The timing was extraordinary: routine bloodwork during labor revealed the cancer, prompting a swift double mastectomy in March. Timpf later shared that the pregnancy likely saved her life by enabling early detection.

On her comeback episode, Gutfeld paused the usual rapid-fire satire to deliver a warm, humorous yet sincere welcome. “Kat had a baby and beat cancer all in two months,” he quipped, adding, “For you keeping score, Kat had sex, which in getting pregnant cured her cancer – meaning sex cures cancer.” The line drew laughs, but the underlying praise for her resilience struck a deeper chord.

Panelists echoed the sentiment. Kennedy, filling in during Timpf’s absence and a mother herself, admitted she was “trying not to cry” seeing Timpf back, healthy, and a new mom. Tyrus, presenting a Godzilla toy for her newborn (nicknamed “Big Ben”), called her his “partner in crime” and declared the show “horrible” without her.

I am cancer-free as well.” She confirmed ongoing reconstructive procedures but emphasized her positive outlook, joking she didn’t want to “risk my life for some fcking 32A’s.”
