Who did Emily Compagno replace on The Five?

Why did Jeanine Pirro leave The Five?

Jeanine departed after President Donald Trump announced on May 8, 2025, that she would be appointed interim US attorney for the District of Columbia.

Fox confirmed her exit was effective immediately and she was sworn in the following week.

A ceremonial White House swearing-in followed on May 28, and her formal nomination for the permanent post came on June 17.

In August 2025, the Senate confirmed her by a vote of 50 to 45, and she remains in the job.

Jeanine had been at Fox for over a decade before The Five, hosting Justice with Judge Jeanine and joining the panel show for a run of around three years.

Who are the co-hosts of The Five?

Emily joins Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino and Jesse Watters, who appear daily.

The fifth chair is shared by rotating hosts Harold Ford Jr and Jessica Tarlov.

The show marked its 15th anniversary in July, having launched in 2011.

It remains the most-watched program in cable news, holding that spot for 19 straight quarters.

In the second quarter of 2026 it averaged 3.6 million viewers and 322,000 in the 25 to 54 demographic advertisers chase.

Emily first joined Fox as a contributor in 2018.
