A new full-time host will join The Five‘s table in September, Fox News Channel announced on Monday.
“Outnumbered” personality Emily Compagno will be joining the crew next month, and will sit alongside Dana Perino, Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters, and the rotating liberal chair of Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr. Her current seat on “Outnumbered” will also be filled by a rotating list of hosts until someone can be named as an official, permanent replacement.

Heartiest congratulations to my good friend Emily Compagno for being named a permanent Five panelist! There’s no discussion this smart woman— and attorney — doesn’t enliven and ennoble. But you all knew that already. Knock ‘em dead, Em! @TheFive @EmilyCompagno

Congrats Emily. So sad for all Fox viewers that we won’t be watching when Jessica is on the show. When will Fox management wake up and move away from this horrible host. Varying political views are fine, but Jessica is just nasty and a majority of your viewers agree.

Congrats Emily! I’m not much of a political TV junkie but folks like you make it so much more tolerable. Your new gig is so well deserved.

Congrats to Emily!! While we’re at it, you all do a good job putting up with Jessica Tarlov but she is poison. Maybe you’ve learned to tune her out, but when she comes on most of us mute her or change the channel. The Five is great and the format is unique but she has to go…
