Kat Timpf has another place to bring her humor and opinions to Fox News viewers, joining the debut of the network’s new podcast, “the Girls.” The “Gutfeld!” personality and breast cancer survivor appeared in the premiere on Thursday, October 1st. The show brings together women from different professional backgrounds. Its launch puts Timpf alongside several familiar Fox faces for conversations extending beyond daily political headlines.
Harris Faulkner and Rachel Campos-Duffy joined Timpf for the first episode, along with Melissa DeRosa and Samantha Ponder. DeRosa previously served as secretary to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and is now a Fox News contributor. Ponder formerly hosted ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown.” The series will use a rotating cast of co-hosts, giving the lineup room to change from week to week.
Fox’s podcast page describes a format built around five women discussing subjects that affect their own lives and the families watching or listening. Conversations are unscripted, with room for exchanges about parenting and relationships alongside politics and money. An episode can move from a public controversy to a disagreement about what parents should allow their children to watch. Listeners can follow those conversations on Fox News Digital, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
The network announced the project September 28th in a press release. Megan Albano, Fox’s executive vice president of morning programming and program development, said, “We’re excited to deliver a no-holds-barred format that captures the authenticity and perspectives of the many dynamic women of FOX News Media and beyond.” Timpf joined Fox in 2015. Her work also includes stand-up comedy and two New York Times bestselling books.
The premiere episode included a discussion of the Lindsay Clancy case, with the women examining accountability and mental health. Clancy faces charges of murdering her three children. As Fox News reported, Ponder said, “you still gotta be in prison.” The discussion addressed how postpartum psychosis should factor into the case and the question of responsibility for a parent’s actions.
The group also considered whether children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel’s politics should influence parents’ decisions about her content. That discussion put the choices families make about children’s viewing into the same episode as a debate about young adults still living at home. On housing, the women considered whether delayed independence reflects a failure to move forward or the difficulty of buying a home in the current economy. New episodes are scheduled for Thursdays, continuing the series after its opening discussion.

The career development follows Timpf’s breast cancer diagnosis in February 2025, shortly before she welcomed her first child. She underwent a double mastectomy on March 19th and was declared cancer-free April 3rd. In a January interview with People, she discussed the difficulty of recovering while caring for a newborn.
Timpf described a breaking point during recovery from reconstructive surgery that summer. She described experiencing frustration during recovery and allowing those emotions instead of forcing positivity. Discussing how the experience changed her, she said, “There’s a strength that I have now after going through all of that… I’m a changed person.”
