In a whirlwind of laughter and intrigue, comedian Jamie Lissow recently set the internet ablaze with a tantalizing comment about Kat Timpf’s newborn son during a promotional event for Fox Nation’s Greg Gutfeld’s What Did I Miss? on May 10, 2025. Lissow, a regular on Gutfeld!, revealed, “Kat picked a unique name for her son, and I’m forbidden to tell,” sparking a frenzy of speculation among fans eager to uncover the closely guarded secret. With Timpf’s triumphant return to television on May 12, 2025, after a challenging maternity leave marked by a breast cancer diagnosis, all eyes are now on host Greg Gutfeld, who some believe might accidentally drop a clue about the baby’s name on an upcoming episode of Gutfeld! or the game show’s remaining episodes airing May 13 and 14. This article dives into the mystery surrounding Timpf’s son’s name, Lissow’s cryptic tease, and the anticipation of a potential Gutfeld gaffe.
Kat Timpf’s Emotional Journey and Return to the Spotlight
Kat Timpf, the 36-year-old libertarian commentator and comedian known for her sharp wit on Gutfeld! and The Five, welcomed her first child, a boy, in February 2025. The joyous occasion was overshadowed by a stage zero breast cancer diagnosis just 15 hours before she went into labor. Timpf shared the news in an emotional Instagram post on February 25, calling it an “unconventional birth announcement.” “I woke up consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out. By the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out,” she wrote. Following the birth, she underwent a double mastectomy in March 2025 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, maintaining her humor throughout recovery with posts like, “Once I recover from childbirth, my mole removal scars heal, I get a double mastectomy, get rid of my cancer, have breast reconstruction surgery & am physically capable of getting back in the gym it’s OVER FOR U B***HEZ #MILF.”
Timpf’s return to television on What Did I Miss?, a three-episode Fox Nation game show hosted by Gutfeld, marked a significant milestone. The show, which premiered on May 12, features Timpf and Lissow as panelists, assisting contestants who were isolated from media for 90 days in distinguishing real headlines from fake ones. Timpf announced her participation on X, writing, “V excited for this. I’m on the panel w my weird little friend @jamie_lissow.” Her comeback was met with overwhelming support from fans and colleagues, with Gutfeld declaring on April 8, “Kat Timpf, the sharp-tongued libertarian who’s been a staple of the show since its 2021 debut, will be back!” However, it was Lissow’s comment about her son’s name that stole the spotlight, turning Timpf’s personal milestone into a public mystery.
Jamie Lissow’s Cryptic Tease Ignites Curiosity
During a promotional event for What Did I Miss? in New York City, Lissow, a seasoned comedian known for his roles on Netflix’s Real Rob and his Dry Bar Comedy special with over 20 million views, let slip a tantalizing tidbit about Timpf’s son. “Kat picked a unique name for her son, and I’m forbidden to tell,” he told reporters, flashing a mischievous grin that suggested he knew more than he was letting on. The comment, reported by outlets like The Wrap and TV Insider, immediately sparked a wave of speculation on social media. Fans took to X, with one writing, “Jamie Lissow just threw us a bone about Kat’s baby name! ‘Unique’?! Now I’m dying to know!” Another posted, “Lissow better watch out, or Kat’s gonna roast him on Gutfeld! for spilling the tea.”
Lissow’s history with Timpf and Gutfeld adds context to his playful secrecy. A frequent Gutfeld! panelist since 2022, Lissow has developed a close rapport with Timpf, often engaging in lighthearted banter on the show. His comment reflects the camaraderie among the Gutfeld! crew, but also his awareness of Timpf’s desire to keep her son’s name private. Timpf has shared anecdotes about her son, calling him “the little dude [who] absolutely rules” and crediting him with possibly saving her life by enabling early cancer detection, yet she has consistently withheld his name. Lissow’s tease suggests the name is distinctive, possibly unconventional or deeply personal, fueling theories that it might honor a family member, reflect Timpf’s quirky humor, or even nod to her libertarian roots.
Will Greg Gutfeld Let the Name Slip?
The spotlight now turns to Greg Gutfeld, the irreverent host of Gutfeld! and What Did I Miss?, known for his quick wit and occasional on-air blunders. Fans and media outlets are buzzing with speculation that Gutfeld, who has a history of playful jabs at his panelists, might accidentally reveal a clue about Timpf’s son’s name in the game show’s remaining episodes or on a future Gutfeld! episode. During the What Did I Miss? premiere on May 12, Gutfeld teased Timpf about her son, joking that his name was “just a shrug emoji,” prompting laughter but no confirmation from Timpf. This moment, reported by The U.S. Sun, has fans wondering if Gutfeld knows the name and might let it slip in his characteristic off-the-cuff style.
Gutfeld’s tendency to push boundaries makes him a prime candidate for an accidental reveal. As the host of Fox News’ top-rated late-night show, which averages 2.5 million viewers, he thrives on spontaneous humor, often riffing on personal details about his panelists. “Greg’s like a loose cannon sometimes,” one X user commented. “If anyone’s gonna spill Kat’s baby name, it’s him, probably while mocking Jamie for being ‘forbidden’ to talk.” Another fan speculated, “Bet Greg drops a hint on the May 13 or 14 episode, something like, ‘Kat’s kid has a name weirder than Jamie’s Alaska stories!’” The anticipation is heightened by Gutfeld’s close relationship with Timpf, a Gutfeld! staple since 2015, and his vocal support during her cancer battle, including heartfelt on-air messages like, “She’s a tough little bugger.”
The Gutfeld! Crew and Fan Reactions
The Gutfeld! crew, including Lissow and Timpf, has a history of blending humor with heartfelt moments, as seen when Gutfeld and Lissow presented Timpf with a comeback gift during the What Did I Miss? taping. The gift’s inscription, which referenced Timpf’s journey and hinted at her son’s name, left fans in tears, according to Newsday. This dynamic makes the prospect of a name reveal—accidental or otherwise—all the more compelling. Lissow, who credits Gutfeld with boosting his career through Red Eye and Gutfeld! appearances, is known for his observational humor and apolitical comedy, but his tease shows he’s not above stirring the pot.
Fans have been vocal in their support and curiosity. “Kat’s been through so much, and now Jamie’s got us all obsessed with this baby name mystery!” one X post read. Another fan wrote, “Greg better not ruin Kat’s moment, but I low-key hope he slips up because I NEED to know this ‘unique’ name!” Despite some online trolls targeting Timpf with fake death rumors and criticism of her medical choices, the majority of her fanbase has rallied around her, with comments like, “Kat’s a warrior, and her kid’s name is gonna be as epic as she is.”
Awaiting the Big Reveal—or Not
As Timpf continues her recovery and television comeback, the mystery of her son’s name remains a delightful distraction for fans. Whether Gutfeld will let a clue slip on the May 13 or 14 episodes of What Did I Miss? or during a Gutfeld! monologue is anyone’s guess. Timpf’s decision to keep the name private reflects her balance of public vulnerability and personal boundaries, a choice she’s maintained despite sharing details of her cancer battle and motherhood joys. Lissow’s comment has only heightened the anticipation, making every Gutfeld! episode a potential stage for a reveal.
For now, fans can only speculate about the “unique” name—perhaps a quirky nod to Timpf’s humor, a tribute to her late mother, or something entirely unexpected. As Timpf, Lissow, and Gutfeld continue to entertain with their chemistry, the possibility of a name drop keeps viewers glued to their screens, laughing and hoping for a glimpse into Timpf’s new chapter as a mom. Whatever the name, Timpf’s resilience and the Gutfeld! crew’s support ensure her story remains one of triumph, humor, and heart.
