Fox News names Emily Compagno as a full-time co-host of “The Five,” moving from her role on the early-afternoon show “Outnumbered.” The change takes effect Sept. 8, when Compagno takes a permanent slot on the cable news program.
All outlets report that Compagno has been a host on “Outnumbered” and will now join “The Five,” which Fox describes as its most-watched program. Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott is cited as announcing the appointment. Deadline adds that Compagno’s departure creates an opening in “Outnumbered,” and a Fox News personality fills that seat temporarily until a permanent co-host is selected.
While the outlets align on the timing and the switch between shows, their emphasis differs slightly: Deadline focuses on the replacement process for “Outnumbered,” while Hollywood Reporter and Variety focus primarily on Compagno’s move to “The Five.” Variety also describes the change as a minor adjustment to a high-profile lineup, referencing her role in filling a fourth co-host seat.
