Kat Timpf is a commentator, comedian, podcaster, and author known for her unfiltered humor and sharp libertarian viewpoints. Whether on Fox News’ Gutfeld! or her stand-up shows, she effortlessly blends humor with serious topics, keeping things lighthearted while challenging preconceived ideas.
Timpf, a Detroit native with a magna cum laude degree from Hillsdale College, has maintained a busy career balancing comedy with political influence. Her second book, I Used to Like You Until… (How Binary Thinking Divides Us), follows her New York Times bestseller, You Can’t Joke About That. She recently shared the news of her first pregnancy.
Her relatable blend of humor and emotion has helped Timpf navigate the ups and downs of life, and she’s taking her comedy to Thousand Oaks as part of her I Used to Like You Tour.
On the success of Gutfeld!, Timpf reflects on her love for Red Eye and how she constantly has to explain Fox News to people with preconceived notions. Despite being accused of “fence-sitting,” she insists that having independent opinions doesn’t mean avoiding strong views.
As she embarks on her first pregnancy, Timpf opens up about the unsolicited and sometimes harsh advice she receives from strangers online. She’s unbothered by the “geriatric pregnancy” comments and sees her pregnancy as a joyful milestone worth celebrating, despite the haters.
Timpf’s book, I Used to Like You Until, explores vulnerability, standing up for yourself, and the importance of embracing life’s achievements—like her pregnancy—without apologizing. She’s grateful for the support she’s received, finding comedy a powerful tool for coping and connection.
