Fox News has announced that Emily Compagno will be the new co-host of the popular panel show 'The Five,' effective September 8. Compagno, who has been a co-host on 'Outnumbered' and a frequent guest on other Fox News programs, will bring her insights to the discussion of current events and political news.

'The Five,' which airs weekdays, features a rotating panel of five hosts offering their perspectives on the day's top stories. The program has consistently ranked as one of cable news's most-watched shows, known for its lively debates and diverse viewpoints. Compagno's addition marks a significant change for the long-standing program.

Compagno's background includes experience as a federal prosecutor and a trial attorney before transitioning to media. Her legal expertise and commentary on crime and justice issues have been a notable part of her on-air presence. She has also contributed analysis on political and cultural topics.

The move is expected to further solidify 'The Five's' position in the cable news landscape, providing a fresh dynamic to the panel discussions. Compagno's established presence on Fox News suggests a seamless integration into her new role.

Prior to her role at Fox News, Compagno served as a reporter and anchor for networks in Sacramento and Tucson. Her career in law enforcement and her legal education have informed her contributions to political and legal discussions.

Her transition to 'The Five' comes as the show continues to draw a substantial audience. The program's format, which includes discussions on politics, pop culture, and current events, allows for a wide range of perspectives from its co-hosts.

Compagno's previous work on 'Outnumbered' involved a panel of women discussing the day's news, often from different generational and ideological standpoints. Her experience there has prepared her for the dynamic conversations characteristic of 'The Five.'

Fans of Compagno's commentary can now expect to see her regularly on 'The Five,' contributing to the show's signature blend of news analysis and opinion.
