Overview
- Fox News announced on Monday that Emily Compagno will join The Five as a full-time co-host, with her first regular show set for Tuesday, September 8.
- Compagno will sit with Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino and Jesse Watters while Harold Ford Jr. and Jessica Tarlov continue to alternate in the show’s lone liberal chair.
- She will leave her co-host role on Outnumbered and Fox said a rotating slate of network personalities will fill her daytime seat until a permanent replacement is named.
- Compagno fills the seat that was left open after Jeanine Pirro departed in May 2025 to join the Trump administration as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
- The Five remains Fox’s ratings anchor, with Nielsen figures cited by the network showing an average of about 3.6 million viewers and 322,000 in the 25–54 demo in Q2 2026, and the promotion could raise Compagno’s profile while reshaping daytime talent and ad strategy.
