Fox News host Kat Timpf has been praised by fans for her ‘sense of humor' as she returned to work following her breast cancer diagnosis, which came just hours before she gave birth to her first child
Fox News personality and comedian Kat Timpf has been swamped with messages of support as she made a return to the news network amid her breast cancer battle post-childbirth.
The 36-year-old was featured in the latest show of Fox Nation's What Did I Miss alongside Greg Gutfeld, where she humorously addressed her health ordeal.
In a segment of the show she posted on social media, Timpf playfully addressed undergoing a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with cancer just before delivering her first child.
Following a remark by Gutfeld, 60, inquiring about contestant Allegra's seemingly taped-together daring attire, to which she replied: “No, I just don't have any t—.” Timpf chimed in with: “I really don't have any t—-.”
Her self-deprecating humor elicited laughter and admiration from viewers who quickly expressed their admiration for her courage and levity.
Commenters showered praise online; one expressed: “What a woman to have such a great sense of humor! You're a rock star sister!”

One commenter noted: “It's nice to know that Kat has a sense of humor about her recent surgery.”
Another joined in the chorus of compliments saying: “Kat your hilarious. I love when people can laugh at themselves,” while yet another added: “You look great Kay, so glad to see you!”
In February, the familiar face from Gutfeld! took to Instagram with a double dose of news: she had welcomed her first child and was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before giving birth.
In her candid post, Timpf revealed: “Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into Labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.”
She quickly comforted her supporters by sharing that her prognosis was positive: “Now, before you worry, my doctor says it's stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn't spread. Or, as I've explained to the few people I've managed to tell about it so far: don't freak out. It's just, like, a little bit of cancer.”

Despite the seriousness of her diagnosis, she described the chaotic day of her diagnosis and labor with a touch of humor: “Still, it was not a chill day. I mean, to say the least! I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out. By the middle of the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out.”
impf detailed the daunting medical advice she received, recounting, “I sat and listened as they told me that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible.”
In a following update in March, Timpf let everyone know she had gone through a double mastectomy and shared an image post-surgery, showcasing her sense of humor even from a hospital bed.
She posted a picture obscured by a playful “censored” graphic over her feet and infused the caption with levity as she remarked on the changes to her body, jesting, “Post-op! They're honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,” with typical Timpf wit.
