“It’s a warm place. I think because it is this kind of breezy, roundtable show, and the viewers are in the mood for that, too, that everyone feels part of this kooky family,” Tarlov tells viewers.

“Behind the Scenes: The Five” is streaming now on Fox Nation.

The special features captivating old footage of Pirro from her days as district attorney of Westchester County and insight into how she realized the media was so critical. Now a TV news veteran, Pirro believes the hit program “really is fun” and that on-air spats don’t spill over because the ensemble has such good chemistry.

“We all like each other,” Pirro said.

“Behind the Scenes: The Five” also features origin stories for the hosts, with each one dishing about their colleagues.

“Jesse is an irreverent surprise every day. I have a very good text message chain going with his mother,” Tarlov quipped before adding that people don’t realize “how fun” Pirro is.

“It’s such a bummer that it’s not ‘The Six,’ I guess, because I really don’t get to spend much time with Harold Ford, Jr. He’s sweet and generous,” Tarlov added.

Perino, who is compared to NFL legend Tom Brady in the special, explained that co-hosts being raised in different parts of America helps viewers relate to the program.

“I think it helps that Jessica grew up in New York City, and that Greg’s from Berkeley, California, and I’m from the West and Judge Jeanine is from Upstate New York, Harold’s from Memphis. I think all of that really helps us relate to our audience and for them to relate to us,” Perino said.

“The Five” has made history with its smashing success, recently finishing the news-heavy month of August as the most-watched program in cable news despite airing at 5 p.m. ET, well before the primetime window that historically dominates ratings.

Even with the Democratic National Convention (DNC) airing in primetime, “The Five” averaged 3.3 million viewers in August to finish No. 1. But ratings success is nothing new for Gutfeld, Watters, Perino, Pirro, Tarlov and Ford, Jr., as “The Five” finished the second quarter of 2024 as the most-watched cable news program in America.

“The Five” is the first non-primetime program ever to top all of cable news for 11 consecutive quarters.
