Fox News Makes Jeanine Pirro Fourth Permanent Co-Host of Top-Rated Show ‘The Five’

Fox News announced today that Jeanine Pirro has been made the fourth permanent co-host of their top-rated show “The Five.”

As far as the show’s liberal seat goes, Harold Ford Jr., Geraldo Rivera, and Jessica Tarlov will serve as rotating co-hosts, according to FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott.

The other three permanent co-hosts are still Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, and Jesse Watters with the changes set to debut Jan. 24.

In a statement, Scott declared, “‘The Five’ continues to be a beloved show by the American audience. Each of the co-hosts are accomplished and insightful talent with diverse opinions and terrific chemistry who will certainly help drive this ensemble program going forward.”

“The Five” averaged 2.9 million viewers during 2021, topping everything CNN and MSNBC had to offer to finish as the second most-watched show on cable news. 

During the fourth quarter of 2021, it also made history by averaging a staggering 3.3 million viewers to become the first non-primetime program in cable news history to finish an entire quarter as the most-watched cable news show.

 Fox News contributor and civil rights attorney Leo Terrell applauded the move in a tweet where he called it, “Fantastic News.”

In a recent clip from the show that Pirro shared in a tweet, she slammed Kamala Harris and said, “She is an embarrassment to women.

“She laughs at every serious question…I don’t expect anyone to stand up for her nor should they,” Pirro added.
