“Sandra’s ability to provide balanced analysis and navigate complex political discussions will complement Greg’s humor and quick wit,” said a media insider. “Together, they’ll bring a fresh energy to the show, and that’s exactly what Fox News needs right now.”
Fans React: Excitement, Skepticism, and Everything in Between. As the announcement about the new co-hosting pairing made waves on social media, fans of both Gutfeld and Smith shared their reactions.
Many conservative viewers have expressed excitement over the new chemistry between the two hosts, with some speculating that this partnership could attract even more viewers to the show.
“I love Sandra Smith and think she’ll be a perfect match for Gutfeld,” one fan tweeted. “They’re both smart and quick-witted. This could be the next big thing on Fox!”
On the other hand, some long-time fans of The Five have expressed concern about the change. “I’ve been watching The Five for years, and I’m not sure how I feel about the change,” one viewer wrote. “It’s going to be hard to see a new co-host in the mix, but I’m open to seeing how it plays out.”
Media consultants note that TV audiences can be as resistant to change as patients facing chronic illness management decisions or families navigating medical malpractice cases. But shifts, when done right, often lead to stronger outcomes—whether in broadcast journalism or OB-GYN liability law.
