Kat Timpf made her long-awaited return to Gutfeld! Monday night, stepping back into her chair with the same no-nonsense charm that has made her a fixture on the Fox News late-night panel.

In February, Timpf shocked fans with a candid announcement: just hours before giving birth to her first child, she was diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer. “I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early,” she wrote in a social media post at the time. “I’m lucky to be my son’s mom… the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.”

Back on set, Timpf greeted the Gutfeld! audience with her trademark irreverence. “I didn’t get stretch marks,” she quipped, “but I did cut my t*ts off. I am boob-free. I am cancer-free as well.”

The panel’s reaction was equal parts comedic and heartfelt. Greg Gutfeld introduced her by marveling at the “insane” timing of her diagnosis and labor, joking, “So for you keeping score, Kat had sex, which, in getting pregnant, cured her cancer—meaning sex cures cancer.”

“She tackled that head-on like Joy Behar shoving aside security at a KFC grand opening,” Gutfeld added, praising her strength through cancer and new motherhood.

Fellow panelist Kennedy was visibly emotional, recalling the whirlwind of phone calls, labor updates, and “heroic” moments during Timpf’s delivery. “She soldiered through every moment,” she said. “She’s just absolutely, truly incredible.”

Timpf, who has been a core presence on Gutfeld! since its inception in 2015, shared that while her treatment journey is not over—she still faces additional reconstructive surgery—the decision to undergo a double mastectomy was clear. “I didn’t want to risk my life for some f*cking 32A’s,” she joked.

As fellow panelist Tyrus welcomed her back with a Godzilla action figure for her newborn son, nicknamed “Big Ben,” Timpf closed out her return the same way she faced her diagnosis: with humor, honesty, and grit.

“I used to hear people say, ‘I can’t imagine my life without him,’” she admitted. “And I used to want to throw up on them. But now I’m one of those people.”
