Fox News announced that Emily Compagno will become a permanent full-time co-host of the program ‘The Five’ beginning September 8, 2026. Compagno, who has been with the network since 2018 and currently co-hosts ‘Outnumbered’, will fill the position vacated by Jeanine Pirro, who left to serve as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Compagno will join regular co-hosts Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, and Jesse Watters. To facilitate this transition, rotating personalities will fill Compagno’s former role on ‘Outnumbered’ until a permanent replacement is named. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott described Compagno as a “highly accomplished host” and a standout within the company.

As of September 4, 2026, Compagno has concluded her nearly six-year tenure on ‘Outnumbered’. During her final signoff, she expressed gratitude to the audience and the production team, including executive producer Trina Thompson, describing her time on the show as an ‘extraordinary privilege’.
