Overview
- The network announced Monday that Compagno will join Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino and Jesse Watters at The Five and will start in the new role on Sept. 8.
- Compagno will give up her co-host seat on Outnumbered, which Fox News said will be filled by rotating personalities until a permanent replacement is chosen.
- The role fills a chair left vacant since Jeanine Pirro departed in May 2025 to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, a vacancy that had been covered by rotating contributors for about 15 months.
- The Five remains cable news' top-rated show, averaging about 3.6 million viewers and 322,000 viewers in the 25–54 demo in Q2, a track record Fox cited in announcing the appointment.
- Compagno has been with Fox since 2018 and brings experience as a legal analyst, Outnumbered co-host, Fox Nation host and podcast creator, and the promotion could boost her profile and the show's continuity going into the midterms.
