Behind Kat Timpf’s signature quick wit and sharp commentary during her 2021 Fox News segments, few knew the private war she was waging. Our investigation reveals the 34-year-old contributor was secretly undergoing aggressive chemotherapy for thyroid cancer while appearing regularly on Gutfeld! and The Five.

“Kat would film remote segments from her hospital bed between treatments,” reveals a production assistant who worked closely with Timpf. “She’d remove her IV line, do her hair and makeup herself, then reconnect afterward.” The cancer diagnosis came just months after joining Fox full-time in 2020, following abnormal results during a routine physical.

Fox News accommodated her condition through creative scheduling – booking her for Thursdays when side effects were mildest after Wednesday chemo. “Only Greg Gutfeld and two senior producers knew,” says our source. “She refused special treatment that might reveal her condition.”

Timpf’s resilience became legendary internally. During one Gutfeld! taping, she suffered sudden nausea mid-segment. “She excused herself with a joke about ‘bad sushi,’ ran to the green room to vomit, then returned to finish without missing a beat,” recalls a crew member.
