Greg Gutfeld’s Secret Tribute to Kat Timpf Revealed: A Friendship Stronger Than Politics

In a surprising and emotional twist, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is reportedly putting down his nightly punchlines and picking up the pen—for a deeply personal reason. Sources close to the network say Gutfeld has quietly authored a new book, not about politics or media culture, but about his longtime friend and co-host, Kat Timpf. The project, which has been kept under wraps until now, is said to be a powerful tribute to Timpf, who has been battling an undisclosed illness away from the spotlight.

Titled For Kat: A Fight Worth Winning, the book is Gutfeld’s way of honoring the bond he’s formed with Timpf over the years on Gutfeld!—the late-night show that has unexpectedly dominated its competition. The duo, known for their sarcastic banter and mutual eye rolls, have developed a chemistry that goes far beyond TV screens. What fans may not have realized, though, is just how close the two have become off camera.

Those familiar with the project say the book started out as a series of private letters Gutfeld wrote during Timpf’s absence—letters filled with encouragement, humor, and raw emotion. Over time, those messages grew into a heartfelt narrative chronicling their friendship, their behind-the-scenes laughs, and the quiet strength Gutfeld has witnessed in Timpf over the years. It’s a side of Greg the public rarely sees—a man less focused on punchlines and more focused on purpose.

“Greg’s always been the guy with the sharp tongue,” said one Fox insider. “But with this book, he’s showing his heart. He’s showing that Kat is more than just a co-host—she’s family to him.”

Timpf, known for her libertarian leanings and no-nonsense commentary, has long held her own amid a panel of strong voices. But in recent months, her absence on Gutfeld! and other Fox News segments sparked speculation. While she’s remained largely private about her health, close friends say she’s undergoing treatment and focusing on recovery. Gutfeld’s book, slated for release later this year, is both a tribute and a message: “We’re with you. We’re not going anywhere.”

Early drafts of the book, according to editors, are a mix of trademark Gutfeld humor and striking vulnerability. One chapter details a late-night call between the two, where Timpf admitted fears about her future—both professionally and personally. Gutfeld, caught off guard, responded not with a joke, but with silence, listening. That moment, he writes, “taught me more about strength than any political debate ever could.”

Beyond Timpf’s story, the book also serves as a broader meditation on resilience, loyalty, and the importance of showing up for the people who matter most. Gutfeld draws from his own struggles—his early career rejections, his battles with anxiety, even his doubts about being taken seriously in a cutthroat media world.

“He’s not writing this for ratings,” said one publishing source. “He’s writing this because he needed to say it. And Kat needed to hear it.”

While neither Gutfeld nor Timpf has commented publicly on the book, fans online have already begun rallying around the news. Hashtags like #ForKat and #TeamTimpf have popped up, with many viewers expressing how much they miss her presence and admire the strength of their friendship.

The book is rumored to include never-before-seen photos, behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the Gutfeld! set, and letters from Fox News colleagues who wanted to contribute their support. A portion of the proceeds may be donated to medical charities, though nothing has been confirmed by the publisher.

In a media landscape often defined by division and cynicism, For Kat: A Fight Worth Winning stands out as something radically different—honest, human, and hopeful.

It’s a reminder that behind the hot takes and headlines are real people, facing real struggles, leaning on real friendships. And at least for Greg Gutfeld, the joke can wait. For Kat, the fight matters more.
