Kat Timpf's Hilarious Take on Cancer: 'Funniest Joke of All Time'!

Former Marine Johnny Joey Jones joked that he only got his job as a Fox contributor because of sympathy he gets for being a double amputee

FOX Host Kat Timpf is a BREAST-CANCER-FIGHTING, JOKE-MAKING MACHINE!

In a shocking turn of events, Fox News host Kat Timpf has proven that she's not only a talented comedian but also a cancer survivor with a wicked sense of humor. After recently undergoing a double mastectomy and announcing that she'd beaten breast cancer after a grueling year-long battle, Timpf took to the airwaves on Gutfeld! to crack jokes about her surgery.

The 36-year-old Fox host was joined by special guest Johnny Joey Jones, a former Marine who lost both his legs in Afghanistan. The two comedians traded witty one-liners, but things got real when Jones joked that Timpf was "stealing the sympathy card" from him after beating cancer.

'She's going to get cancer and take the sympathy card right out from under me,' he joked

But Timpf wasn't having it! With her quick wit and sharp tongue, she shot back with a devastatingly funny jab: "Now you're not the only double amputee on the show!" The joke left fans in stitches, and even Jones couldn't help but laugh along.

Timpf's Cancer Journey: From Diagnosis to Recovery

As reported by thescholarlynote.com earlier this year, Timpf received a shock diagnosis of stage zero breast cancer just one day before giving birth to her baby boy. The news was nothing short of devastating for the young mother, but she refused to let it get her down.

In fact, Timpf's post-surgery update on social media was a masterclass in dark humor. She shared an image of herself from a hospital bed, her legs covered by a gown with an animated "censored" illustration over her feet. The caption? A cheeky 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's Return to Gutfeld!: The Cancer-Free Edition

After a year-long battle with cancer, Timpf made her highly anticipated return to Gutfeld! in mid-June. And she was more radiant than ever – minus the two breasts that had been removed.

In March, it was revealed that Kat had undergone a double mastectomy for breast cancer after receiving the shock diagnosis while pregnant

But what really stole the show was Timpf's sense of humor. As she joked about her surgery on live TV, fans couldn't help but be inspired by her cancer-free attitude. The comments section was filled with praise for Timpf's resilience and humor, with many sharing their own stories of using laughter to cope with illness.

One fan even shared that they were a fellow double amputee, and credited Timpf's joke with making them laugh so hard it hurt. "Humor kept me going through my cancer journey too," they wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The Sympathy Card: Who Needs It When You've Got Kat Timpf?

As for Jones' initial joke about Timpf stealing the sympathy card, it's safe to say that she's earned her place as a comedy queen. After all, who needs a pity party when you can crack jokes about your own cancer surgery?

Timpf's hilarious exchange with Jones has sparked a renewed conversation about humor in the face of adversity. And let's be real – if anyone knows how to dish out witty one-liners, it's Kat Timpf.

So here's to our favorite Fox host: may her jokes forever be as sharp as her wit and her cancer-free status remain forever intact!
