Fox News is making a major change to the lineup of its highest-rated program, filling a permanent seat that has been vacant for more than a year.
Emily Compagno has been named a full-time co-host of The Five and will officially join the permanent lineup beginning September 8, Fox News announced.
Compagno will join Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, and Jesse Watters, while Harold Ford Jr. and Jessica Tarlov will continue sharing the program’s rotating liberal seat.
She will fill the permanent seat previously occupied by Jeanine Pirro, who left Fox News in May 2025 and later became U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Compagno’s promotion also means she will leave Outnumbered, where she has served as a co-host since 2021.
Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott praised Compagno while announcing the decision.
“Emily is a highly accomplished host whose energy and talent have made her a standout across FOX News Media, and we are thrilled to officially welcome her to the show.”
“I couldn’t be more honored to join The Five, a team I have long admired and have been fortunate to work alongside over the years,” Compagno said.
“Having an official seat at the table on what I truly believe is the most fun show on television is an incredible privilege.”
The program celebrated its 15th anniversary in July and averaged 3.6 million viewers during the second quarter of 2026, according to Fox.
