Fox News’ round-table show “The Five” has enjoyed great success on the network — even becoming the most watched show on Fox in Oct. 2021 — and now Jeanine Pirro will be a permanent co-host.
Pirro will be joining the current hosts, Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld and Dana Perino, and a rotating host who will present a more left-leaning view of the topics discussed. The rotating hosts include Jessica Tarlov, Geraldo Rivera and former Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr. of Tennessee, The Hill reported.
Pirro has been a conservative media personality with Fox since 2006, when she joined as a legal analyst, and in 2011 she was given her own weekend show, “Justice with Judge Jeanine.”
She will be giving up her show to focus full time on “The Five,” Fox News announced.
“The Five” has been enjoying immense success as it averaged 2.9 million viewers, making it the second most watched show on cable news. It also topped other CNN and MSNBC shows during 2021, Fox News reported.
“‘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,”
