dq. BREAKING NEWS: Greg Gutfeld Shakes Up Fox News — Replaces Jessica Tarlov with Sandra Smith Live on Air
In a jaw-dropping moment that left both fans and colleagues stunned, Greg Gutfeld made an unprecedented move during a live broadcast of The Five — replacing Jessica Tarlov with Sandra Smith right before viewers’ eyes. The sudden shake-up ignited immediate backlash online, sending shockwaves across Fox News and sparking fierce debate about what really happened behind the scenes.
The moment unfolded without warning. As cameras rolled, Gutfeld announced that “change was coming to The Five” — and within seconds, longtime co-host Jessica Tarlov was off the panel, replaced by anchor Sandra Smith. Gasps filled the studio, and social media exploded with reactions ranging from disbelief to outrage.
“This isn’t just a change in the lineup — it’s a statement,” one insider told reporters. “Nobody saw this coming, not even some of the staff.”
Fans were quick to voice their opinions, with #JusticeForJessica and #TeamSandra both trending within minutes. Some praised Gutfeld for shaking things up, while others accused Fox News of creating unnecessary drama.
Fox News executives have yet to issue an official statement, but sources say tensions had been brewing for weeks between panel members over creative direction and on-air clashes.
Sandra Smith, known for her calm professionalism and sharp political insight, is expected to bring a new dynamic to The Five — but whether viewers will embrace the change remains to be seen.
