The Fox News family rallied around colleague Kat Timpf this week after co-host Greg Gutfeld shared heartbreaking news during The Five‘s “One More Thing” segment. With uncharacteristic solemnity, Gutfeld revealed that the libertarian commentator—who just welcomed her first child—had received a devastating diagnosis hours before giving birth.
“Last week, Kat brought a beautiful baby boy into the world,” Gutfeld told viewers, his usual sharp wit softened with concern. “But fifteen hours before going into labor, she got news no expectant mother should ever hear—a breast cancer diagnosis.”
The revelation cast a shadow over what should have been Timpf’s most joyful moment. Known for her razor-sharp political commentary and self-deprecating humor, the 35-year-old columnist now faces the dual challenges of new motherhood and cancer treatment.
Yet Gutfeld offered a ray of hope: “It’s Stage 0—completely non-invasive. Doctors believe they caught it early.” His voice warmed as he added, “Knowing Kat’s toughness, she’ll be back at this desk giving me grief sooner than later.”
Co-host Dana Perino quickly agreed, smiling through visible emotion: “Oh, she’ll return with twice the energy. And I can’t wait to have her here putting you in your place again.”
The news sparked an outpouring of support across social media, with #TeamTimpf trending as fans celebrated her resilience. Stage 0 ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) carries an excellent prognosis, with American Cancer Society data showing near-100% survival rates with proper treatment.
Timpf, who married comedian Cameron Friscia in 2022, hasn’t yet commented publicly. But colleagues confirm she’s leaning on Fox’s tight-knit community—particularly fellow new mothers like Perino—while beginning outpatient treatment.
For now, the network’s signature red chairs feel emptier without Timpf’s signature snark. But as Gutfeld signed off: “Our whole FOX family is with you, Kat. Heal up—we need your voice back here where it belongs.”
