After taking a hiatus to prioritize her family and health, Fox News presenter Kat Timpf is formally returning to television. Known for her witty remarks and frequent appearances on Gutfeld!, the 36-year-old analyst had taken a break from the limelight earlier this year after giving birth and being diagnosed with breast cancer. Timpf is now prepared to return to work after juggling motherhood and cancer treatment for several months, and she will be doing so in a brand-new show with well-known guests.
For a future reality series called What Did I Miss?, which will debut on Fox Nation, the network’s streaming service, Timpf will team up with frequent colleagues Greg Gutfeld and comic Jamie Lissow. Satire, social commentary, and a game show structure will all be included into this unusual and eagerly awaited program, which will examine a genuinely strange social experiment: what happens if people are totally isolated from the outside world for three months?
What Did I Miss?’s premise is on four competitors who choose to live in complete seclusion in Upstate New York from January 20 to April 13. The subjects were cut off from all contemporary communication for over ninety days, including social media, television, radio, smartphones, and the internet. The candidates were not exposed to current affairs or foreign news, particularly the first few months of a new presidential term, which is usually a period of significant events.
The task for these contestants as they return to society is to make up for all they missed. There’s a catch, though. Various news stories, events, and scenarios—some real, others completely made up—are shown to the returning competitors in each episode. What do they do? Determine which incidents are fictitious and which actually happened. The objective is to assess a person’s ability to distinguish fact from fiction following a prolonged period of isolation.
The series’ main host is Greg Gutfeld, who hosts the highly regarded late-night program Gutfeld!. He will be joined by panelists Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow, who will offer analysis, comedic relief, and perspectives on the ridiculousness and importance of the news reports. Timpf, who is well-known for her astute observations and unafraid viewpoints, will return to her role, but this time she will be leading competitors through a bizarre journey of rediscovering the world they lost.
What Did I Miss? is unique not just because of its theme but also because of its live audience format. To bring even more energy and spontaneity to the show, each episode will be taped in front of an audience. The stakes are high as contestants will be put to the test in front of the audience and the judges. The winner of the big prize of $500,000 will be the contestant who is the most realistic, or at least the most observant.
Social media was ablaze with excitement as Timpf’s homecoming was announced. In a lighthearted post on X (previously Twitter), she verified the news by quoting Gutfeld’s own announcement and writing, “I’m on the panel with my weird little friend @jamie_lissow. I’m excited for this.” Timpf’s admirers were quick to reply with words of encouragement and excitement, happy to see her return to the spotlight following such a trying time in her personal life.
What Did I Miss? will debut its first episode on May 12 and then air two additional episodes on May 13 and 14. The premiere is already creating excitement among Fox Nation users and fans of the Gutfeld crew, even though information on more episodes or upcoming seasons has not yet been revealed.
After what has been a difficult and transforming period, Timpf is back. She made her maternity leave announcement in February and subsequently disclosed that she had also received a breast cancer diagnosis. Her fans showed extensive concern and support for her health and well-being when she took time off to recuperate and spend time with her newborn boy.
What Did I Miss? is a must-watch for viewers who enjoy Fox News and Timpf’s lighthearted approach. The show offers an intriguing perspective on how information—and misinformation—shapes public perception by fusing humor, reality TV, current affairs, and media critique. It also serves as a witty reminder of how erratic and chaotic the news cycle can be, particularly in the hyperconnected world of today.
What Did I Miss? appears ready to provide something pleasantly surprising, regardless of whether fans are watching for the unusual competition, the topical commentary, or just to see Timpf and Gutfeld together. In addition to her signature wit and sarcasm, Kat Timpf brings a sense of fortitude to her comeback to television, which heightens the impact of her appearance.
