The host, known for being on the panel of Greg Gutfeld’s late-night show, will reunite with Gutfeld in a new reality show streaming on Fox News’ streaming service, Fox Nation.

In the new show What Did I Miss?, Timpf will help host an epic showdown of four contestants who were completely cut off from the outside world.

The four contestants were in complete isolation in upstate New York from January 20 to April 13.

They had no access to their phones, internet, television, or social media.

Now that they’re out of isolation, the contestants will compete against each other to figure out what happened during the first 90 days of the Trump administration.

Each contestant will be presented with different scenarios, and it’s up to them to decide what is fact or fiction.

The contestants will be put to the test in front of a live audience for the chance to win $500,000.

Gutfeld will be the lead host of the show with Timpf and Jamie Lissow sitting on the panel.

“V excited for this. I’m on the panel w my weird little friend @jamie_lissow,” Timpf wrote in a post on X.

“We are excited for FOX Nation subscribers to have exclusive access to America’s most-watched late night host’s game show debut as he informs contestants about what really happened while they were completely off the grid and isolated from the outside world.”

Where to watch: Stream on Fox Nation
When: May 12, 13, 14
Summary:

Four contestants were in complete isolation from January 20 to April 13 with no phones, internet, television, or social media. Upon their return to society, the contestants compete in an epic showdown as they are tasked with figuring out what actually happened during their seclusion. Gutfeld will present dozens of scenarios, and the contestants must separate real headlines from fake ones. With a prize of $50,000 on the line, their instincts and senses of humor will be put to the test in front of a live audience and a panel featuring Gutfeld! regulars Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow.

She titled the seven-paragraph-long post, “An Unconventional Birth Announcement.”

In the post, she assured her followers that her doctor said she was at “Stage 0,” meaning the cancer most likely did not spread.

Only hours after finding out about her diagnosis, Timpf gave birth to her son.

“I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom,” she wrote.

“I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.”

Fans were overjoyed to hear the news of Timpf’s return, with many rushing to her recent post to welcome her back.

“Can’t wait to see your smiling face! We’ve missed you so much,” one follower wrote.

Kat Timpf’s full statement

An Unconventional Birth Announcement

Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

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. 

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. I sat and listened as they told me that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible. I asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby. Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around on the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor, before heading to the hospital to meet my baby, whom I’d learn at the time of birth was a son.

The good news? People who work at hospitals make excellent audiences for dark humor — and, as someone whose first book was about the power of jokes to get through traumatic situations, there was really no better place for me to be. Just minutes after my boy was born, I was talking with the nurses about what a birth announcement in my situation might look like.

Should I go with “Mom and baby are doing well, except maybe for mom’s cancer, and then maybe the baby after breastfeeding is stunted by her double mastectomy,” and then shut off my phone for a week?

Anyway! These next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I’d anticipated, and I’m still getting used to my new reality. Still, as I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer) I’m learning to celebrate everything I can. I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom. I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.

Thank you all for your support, laughter, and love as I embrace this wildly unexpected chapter. Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.

“Hope things are going well with your treatment and recovery.

“Also, can’t wait to hear all about your sweet baby boy. I bet he’s the cutest ever!”

Dozens of comments echoed the fan’s excitement, with many wishing Kat and her family well.

“Can’t wait! Miss you! Been praying for you and baby! Gutfeld needs you back but subs are doing great too,” another fan wrote.

“I was just looking online again to find an update on you! Thank you for the update! God bless you and family!”

But not everyone has been as supportive.

Last week, Timpf was forced to shut down gross death rumors as she was targeted by trolls posting about her newborn.

“Guys, there are lots of fake accounts posting stuff about me on Facebook which is not accurate, including this one that says I died,” Timpf tweeted.

“FWIW, this is also not my baby,” she wrote alongside a screenshot of another fake post.

“I haven’t shared any photos of my son online. Any photos you see are fake.”

Aside from the What Did I Miss? series, the Fox News host has not yet revealed when she’ll be back on screens full-time.
