Fox News star Kat Timpf is not just making waves on “Gutfeld!”—she’s now setting the literary world on fire with her new book, You Can’t Joke About That: Why Everything Is Funny, Nothing Is Sacred, and We’re All In This Together. The comedian, pundit, and co-host of Gutfeld! is taking a bold stance against the growing trend of self-censorship and cultural policing, claiming humor is a vital tool for healing, connection, and overcoming adversity.
In her candid new memoir, Timpf reflects on the most painful moments of her life and how humor helped her navigate through them. From her family tragedies to personal heartbreaks, she uses humor to make sense of the chaos that has defined her path. The introduction to her book is raw, detailing the time when she started at Fox News in 2015—just after the loss of her mother, the death of her grandmother, and a public breakup. But instead of retreating into isolation, Timpf shared her story with humor, revealing that laughter became an essential tool in her healing journey.
As she explains in the book, every painful experience she faced, from grief to betrayal, became a bit more bearable through the power of comedy. Timpf even jokes about the most taboo subjects, such as death, loss, and sickness, arguing that we shouldn’t shy away from these topics but confront them head-on. “The thing with humor is that it takes the edge off. It reduces the power of what’s scariest, and once it’s disarmed, you can move forward and connect with others,” she said in an interview about her book.
In a world where political correctness is often pushed to the extreme, Timpf asserts that humor can play a pivotal role in helping people cope. “When we are restricted from talking about the toughest topics, it isolates us even more,” she writes. “The act of joking about something—no matter how hard or uncomfortable—allows us to reclaim that power, to make those moments ours instead of letting them control us.”
Timpf’s journey to Gutfeld! wasn’t without struggle. Before joining the late-night show, she was commuting from Washington, D.C. to New York for Fox appearances, literally showing up in a sleep-deprived haze just to get her foot in the door. After months of tough breaks, she landed her role with Gutfeld! three days after enduring a personal nightmare—a period marked by loss and rejection.
But instead of letting the weight of these challenges overwhelm her, Timpf leaned into her unique voice, using her sharp wit and fearless sense of humor to address issues that others might shy away from. “I joke about the hardest things because it’s my way of making sense of them, and letting others know it’s okay to laugh too,” she shares.
The book is already making waves, with fans and critics alike applauding her courage to push the boundaries of what can and can’t be joked about. In a time when many fee
You Can’t Joke About That is more than just a memoir; it’s a call to action. Timpf encourages readers to embrace humor as a tool for connection, healing, and strength, especially in the face of adversity. With her trademark humor, heart, and boldness, Timpf is not just a comedian—she’s a powerful voice for change.
Her book is now available, and it’s clear: Kat Timpf is here to make us laugh, but also to remind us that the most painful moments of our lives deserve to be seen, heard, and yes, laughed about.
