Fox News host Emily Compagno signed off from Outnumbered for the final time on Friday (September 4), delivering an emotional farewell as she thanked her colleagues and loyal viewers.
“And now, everyone watching, after almost six years, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you at home who trusted me to help deliver and analyze the news every day at noon ET,” said Compagno, who will be joining The Five as the show’s newest cohost.
She then turned her attention to the crew, including executive producer Trina Thompson and “the entire Outnumbered team whose dedication, professionalism and sheer talent are the reason for this show’s excellence day in and day out.”
“It has been an extraordinary privilege and an honor to serve as a co-host of Outnumbered; from now on, see you at Five,” Compagno concluded.
Farewell, @EmilyCompagno !

After nearly six incredible years on the couch at Outnumbered, Emily is joining the table at @TheFive next week. Thank you for the laughter, the insight, the unforgettable moments and for making the couch a better place every day.

“It is nothing short of my utmost honor and an incredible privilege to be tapped with this — in my view, such a huge responsibility to help carry the torch of what is the number one rated show at Fox, and to feel trusted to share my opinion and my thoughts with our viewers, whose faith I value so deeply,” Compagno told BarrettMedia.
She called the move “bittersweet,” explaining, “It’s almost like going off to college or something, where I’m excited for the next chapter, but I’m so sad to leave. I’ll miss my sisters on that show, but I know that they are cheering me on, and I have their full support and excitement, so that makes it only positive.”
Compagno also heaped praise on Fox News, adding, “I would not be here, and I share this success, this next chapter, with the rest of Fox News. Being a part of the Fox family is a dream come true, and it’s what I treasure all day, every day. Whatever I am today, and however I’ve grown, it’s because of their imprint and support.”
