Kat Timpf Makes Surprise Appearance on Greg Gutfeld’s New Game Show — Fox News Crew Delivers an Unforgettable Welcome
Behind-the-scenes moment turns into an emotional on-air surprise as Timpf officially rejoins the Gutfeld universe

In a moment that caught both fans and even the show’s crew off guard, beloved Fox News personality Kat Timpf made a surprise appearance during the taping of Greg Gutfeld’s new comedy game show, What Did I Miss? What started as a casual drop-in behind the scenes turned into a heartwarming and unexpected on-air celebration, marking what appears to be Timpf’s official return to the Gutfeld creative fold.

Fox News has since released a series of candid, behind-the-scenes images showing Timpf mingling with the crew and joking with cast members on set. But what really stole the spotlight was the reaction from Greg Gutfeld himself — and the elaborate surprise that followed, orchestrated by the production team to welcome her back in unforgettable fashion.

What Did I Miss?, the latest satirical venture from Gutfeld and his team, is a fast-paced, panel-style game show that mixes pop culture trivia, political humor, and unscripted commentary. Think Jeopardy! meets The Gutfeld Show, with a generous helping of late-night irreverence.

Timpf’s unscheduled appearance was initially thought to be a quick visit — a reunion of old friends and colleagues. But audience members and crew were soon alerted that something bigger was unfolding when producers quietly adjusted camera angles and cued up a special segment mid-taping.

As Gutfeld joked his way through a monologue, the lights dimmed and a highlight reel of Kat’s most iconic on-air moments began to play. The audience burst into cheers as the footage ended with the message:
“Welcome Back, Kat!”

Greg Gutfeld, rarely at a loss for words, appeared visibly moved by the surprise moment.

“I had no idea they were planning this,” he said, laughing as he embraced Timpf on stage. “I thought she was just here to steal craft services. Turns out, she’s stealing the show — again.”

Timpf, always quick with a quip, responded: “Don’t worry, I still plan on stealing snacks. But yeah… it feels really good to be back.”

The crowd erupted once more as confetti rained down and crew members presented her with a mock game show buzzer labeled “Kat’s Comeback Button.”

Kat Timpf has long been a fan-favorite figure within the Fox News universe. Known for her sharp wit, libertarian-leaning commentary, and offbeat sense of humor, she brought a distinct energy to The Gutfeld Show and its various spinoffs over the years. Her brief absence had left a noticeable gap in the show’s dynamic, and her return has already ignited buzz among viewers.

Social media lit up with reactions within minutes of the surprise reveal.

“Kat’s back? This is the best plot twist of 2024,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“Gutfeld and Timpf are TV gold together — can’t wait to see what chaos they create next,” another wrote.

While Fox News has not yet released official details on the extent of Timpf’s involvement with What Did I Miss?, insiders suggest she will appear regularly, possibly as a rotating panelist or even co-host. Given the instant chemistry and the show’s playful format, her return feels not only natural — but necessary.

“It’s like she never left,” one crew member said. “She just walked in and the energy on set shifted — like flipping a switch.”

With What Did I Miss? gaining momentum and Kat Timpf back in the mix, the show appears poised for even greater success. Viewers can expect more unpredictability, sharp banter, and the kind of off-the-wall humor that made The Gutfeld Show a late-night sleeper hit.

As for Timpf, she summed up her return in typical fashion:
“Nothing like a surprise party where the surprise is… you. Let’s get weird.”
