Emily Compagno bid farewell to Fox News’ Outnumbered after nearly six years with Fox News. She’ll join The Five as a permanent co-host next week.
What We Know: Emily Compagno departed Outnumbered on Friday. Beginning Tuesday, September 8th, Compagno will serve as a permanent co-host of The Five. The Five remains the most-watched program across all of cable news. Her departure marks the end of a lengthy run alongside the program’s rotating panel of co-hosts.
What They Said: “I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you at home who trusted me to help deliver and analyze the news every day at noon ET, and to the incredible crew on this stage, my executive producer Trina Thompson, and to our entire outnumbered team, whose dedication, professionalism, and sheer talent are the reason for this show’s excellence day in and day out. It has been an extraordinary privilege and an honor to serve as a co-host of Outnumbered. From now on, see you at five.” -Emily Compagno
What Remains Unclear: Fox News hasn’t detailed how Outnumbered will adjust its lineup on the show following Compagno’s departure.
What It Means: Compagno’s move gives The Five another established Fox News personality with years of experience on the network. Meanwhile, Outnumbered will lose one of its longest-serving co-hosts. Still, the move places Compagno on television’s most-watched cable news program during a key part of the afternoon schedule.
