Fox News host Kat Timpf flooded with support over return to TV amid breast cancer journey
Fox News host and comedian Kat Timpf has been applauded for her sense of humor as she made her return to television amid her breast cancer journey.
The 36-year-old appeared in the latest episode of the Fox Nation's show What Did I Miss alongside with Greg Gutfeld where she cracked a joke about her health battle.
In a clip from the program, which she shared on her social media page, Timpf made light of her recent double mastectomy.
Her joke at her own expense came after Gutfeld, 60, asked contestant Allegra if her risqué dress was taped together.
'No, I just don't have any t**s,' Allegra said.
This prompted Timpf to retort: 'I really don't have any t**s.'
The funny moment tickled audiences at home who also rushed to heap praise on Timpf for her attitude.
Taking to the comments, one said: 'What a woman to have such a great sense of humor! You're a rock star sister!'
Agreeing, another said: 'You were hilarious on this! You look great and so happy to see you again!'
'It's nice to know that Kat has a sense of humor about her recent surgery,' echoed a third.
A fourth added: 'Kat your hilarious. I love when people can laugh at themselves.'
'You look great Kay, so glad to see you!' another said.
In March, it was revealed that Kat had undergone a double mastectomy for breast cancer after receiving the shock diagnosis while pregnant.
She was told she had stage zero breast cancer just one day before going into labor with her first child.
At the time, Timpf shared a post-surgery update to let fans know she was doing well.
She shared an image from a hospital bed of her legs covered by a gown with an animated 'censored' illustration over her feet.
In the caption, she made a joke about how much her breast size had been reduced.
'Post-op! They're honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,' Timpf wrote said.
Timf has been open about her unconventional journey to parenthood as she navigated the first few weeks of her son's life while reeling from the cancer diagnosis.
At the end of February, she shared a post titled 'An unconventional birth announcement' where she detailed the emotional whirlwind of having a child and receiving the life-changing news.
'Last week, I welcomed by first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,' she said.
Timpf went on to assure her supporters that the cancer was stage zero and her doctors were confident that it hadn't spread.
'I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out,' she continued.
'By the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out.
Timpf said that following the diagnosis she was 'crawling around the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor.'
Shortly after her shock announcement, Timpf shared an update thanking her followers for their support and hitting back at those who took the opportunity to share their unsolicited advice.
Timpf welcomed her first child, a son, in February with her husband, Cameron Friscia.

EXCLUSIVE REVEALED: The secret rendezvous Food Network star Anne Burrell planned with the Green Lady of Brooklyn after they took chef's last selfie together
Food Network star Anne Burrell fulfilled a long-held wish and was 'very happy' just days before she died, according to the cult star of her final Instagram photo. Burrell left such an impression when she met her idol, the 'Green Lady of Brooklyn', she was invited to visit her famed and coveted garden. The Green Lady Elizabeth Sweetheart told how the celebrity chef, who was tragically found dead in her Brooklyn apartment on Tuesday morning, spotted her on the street and excitedly rushed over to her. The 84-year-old social media star, who lives with husband Robert Rosenthal close to Burrell in upmarket Carroll Gardens, exclusively told 'She ran up to me, gave me a hug, and took a selfie. 'I don't know her; I meet a lot of people. 'But I am the last photo on her Instagram. She [tagged] the photo of me and her to my Instagram, so then I got all the messages. 'I know she has passed. I posted a message afterwards for her family on Instagram. 'She said she had been wanting to meet me for so long, and she finally did, so she was very happy.' The chef endeared herself to the older woman, so much so that the food influencer sent her an invitation to her house to explore her fig garden. Sweetheart, 84, said Burrell caught up to her after spotting her on the street and told her she had been 'wanting to meet me for so long, and she finally did, so she was very happy' In an Instagram message, she wrote to her: 'I would like to invite you to my garden and pick figs when they are ready, usually beginning to ripen in September, and come and visit the garden on a sunny day anyway.' Though she never made it to Sweetheart's famed garden, Burrell shared with fans just five days before her death, at age 55, that she had fulfilled her dream, in what would become her final Instagram post. In an excited update on June 12, Burrell shared a selfie with the cult star and wrote: 'I ran into (the Green Lady of Brooklyn) in my neighborhood today!' 'I'm not going to lie – I have been keeping an eye out for her. 'I may or may not have followed her down the street for a minute. She is just lovely,' Burrell added. After news of Burrell's death broke, Sweetheart, who has garnered a cult internet following over her decades-long dedication to all things green, wrote a sweet message to her. She wrote: 'Hi Anne, you are such a lovely person just to meet and not knowing. I just love you and so sorry but come to my garden and visit with all your beauty and love and I will be waiting for you.' Sweetheart did not reveal to what the pair talked about – and said she has not managed to speak to the star's family. Mystery still shrouds the sudden death of the beloved TV chef, who was found 'unconscious and unresponsive' on the shower floor by her husband of four years, Stuart Claxton, 53. Claxton and Burrell had raised a 20-year-old son, Javier, from a previous marriage. A 911 call was made and law enforcement responded around 7.50am on June 17. The chef was pronounced dead at the scene. The New York Fire Department responded to a call for cardiac arrest, but the exact cause of Burrell's death remains under investigation by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Law enforcement sources told TMZ a large quantity of 'unknown pills' was found near where she died. The detective investigating Burrell's case was not immediately available for an update on her case. Back in April, Burrell told of her marital bliss with Claxton, who she wed in 2021 after meeting on the Bumble dating app in 2018. 'October will be four years,' she said. 'It seems like it's been four minutes. I don't know if it's a honeymoon [phase], but I feel like it's settled into married life days which I really enjoy.' The Fire Department responded to a call for cardiac arrest at Burrell's home, but her cause of death remains under investigation. Law enforcement sources told TMZ a large quantity of 'unknown pills' were found near where she died It comes as moving tributes have flooded in for host of the Worst Cooks in America, who was said by one friend to have been privately battling issues in the years before her death. Duff Goldman, whose Baltimore bakery Charm City Cakes was featured on the Food Network, shared an online tribute to Burrell. 'I've written and re-written this post so many times in the past 24 hours and I just don't know what to say,' he posted on Instagram alongside a photo of him with her. 'Anne and I became friends in probably 2006. She was going through some stuff, and I had heard that she was feeling it so on a trip to NYC from Baltimore I had made her a cake that said, "Don't let the b******s win". 'She never did,' he shared, without revealing specifics about what had caused her private pain. In 2006, Burrell's media career was on the rise - she had made her TV debut the previous year as a sous chef on Iron Chef America, working under Mario Batali, and was two years away from getting her own show Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. However, Goldman has now revealed that even while she publicly began to blossom as a TV personality, she was battling personal issues behind the scenes. 'We had a complex relationship, and I remember the last conversation we had before our paths drifted was a pretty feisty debate about the merits of catfish. I believe the words "trash fish," "tastes like mud," and "cake boy" were used, haha,' he shared. 'Anne and I always had a spirited and somewhat acerbic back and forth. I really never knew why our paths drifted but I always hoped that wherever she was, Anne was doing well and was finding some happiness.' While he was attending a New York City gala 'a year or two ago' with his wife Johnna Colbry and their daughter Josephine, four, Goldman saw Burrell again. Goldman explained that he 'took Josephine out to the lobby to give her a break from sitting at a table listening to speeches. We were playing with the marble columns and as we rounded one, we saw Anne.' He recalled: 'Now, at this point we hadn't spoken in years, and I won't go into what we talked about, but I will say that that conversation left my heart lifted and full of light, for it truly seemed to me that Anne really had found a measure of happiness and love.'

John Oliver on AI slop: ‘Some of this stuff is potentially very dangerous'
John Oliver covered the dangers of AI on his weekly HBO show, calling it 'worryingly corrosive' for society. On Last Week Tonight, Oliver said that the 'spread of AI generation tools has made it very easy to flood social media sites with cheap, professional-looking, often deeply weird content' using the term AI slop to describe it all. He referred to it as the 'newest iteration of spam' with weird images and videos flooding people's feed with some people having 'absolutely no idea that it isn't real'. Oliver said that it's 'extremely likely that we are gonna be drowning in this shit for the foreseeable future'. With content such as this, 'the whole point is to grab your attention' and given how easy it's become to make it, the barrier of entry has been reduced. Meta has not only joined the game with its own tool but it's also tweaked the algorithm meaning that more than a third of content in your feed is now from accounts you don't follow. 'That's how slop sneaks in without your permission,' he said. There are monetisation programs for people who successfully go viral and now a range of AI slop gurus who will teach people what to do for a small fee. It's 'ultimately a volume game like any form of spam' and has led to AI generators ripping off the work of actual artists without crediting them. But 'for all the talk of riches in those slop guru videos, the money involved here can be relatively small'. It can be as little as a few cents and then sometimes hundreds of dollars if it goes mega-viral which means that a lot of it comes from countries where money goes further like India, Thailand, Indonesia and Pakistan, One of the downsides is having to explain to parents that content isn't real. "If you see an animal that's so cute it defies reality and it's not Moo Deng, odds are it's AI,' he said. There's also an environmental impact to the resources needed to produce it as well as the worrying spread of misinformation. Oliver spoke about the many fake disasters that have been created with images and videos showing tornados and explosions and plane crashes that don't exist. 'Air travel is scary enough now without people making up new disasters,' he said. Generative AI has also been used during the Israel-Iran conflict and posed problems for first responders with the flooding in North Carolina last year. It was also used by Republicans to show that Biden was not handling the latter situation well with fake images used on the right despite them being told they weren't real. 'It's pretty fucking galling for the same people who spent the past decade screaming 'fake news' at any headline they didn't like to be confronted with actual fake news and suddenly be extremely open to it,' he said. While the spread wasn't as damaging as some head feared during last year's US election, AI is 'already significantly better than it was then'. He added: 'It's not just that we can get fooled by fake stuff, it's that the very existence of it then empowers bad actors to dismiss real videos and images as fake.' Oliver said it's all 'worryingly corrosive for the concept of objective reality' with platforms finding it harder to detect AI. 'I'm not saying some of this stuff isn't fun to watch, I'm saying that some of this stuff is potentially very dangerous,' he said.

Liam Delap: I love the battle — I'm a bit old school but I won't change
L iam Delap has little time for superstition. Many players have come unstuck wearing the No9 for Chelsea and you can take your pick in recent years, from Fernando Torres and Gonzalo Higuaín to Álvaro Morata and Radamel Falcao. Perhaps that's why the number has been untouched since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left the club two years ago. But that's irrelevant for Delap. He wants to be Chelsea's leading striker and so he wanted the No9 shirt too. Therefore he took it. Curses are for the birds. 'To me it doesn't really mean a lot,' he says. 'I'm not that type of person. It's something that people speculate about. But it doesn't mean anything to me.' Delap prefers the use of grit to the whims of fate. That's why he is now holding court at the Four Seasons hotel, 60 floors up and with a panoramic view of Philadelphia, after his £30million transfer to Chelsea. His strong season with Ipswich Town, scoring 12 Premier League goals, meant Newcastle United, Manchester United and Everton were among the suitors queueing up for his services. 'It was a nice position to be in,' he says. 'You never know if it is going to be the right decision but you've just got to go with your gut and hopefully it works out.'
