“Nobody Saw This Coming” – Fox News Insiders STUNNED as Harold Ford Jr. Rumored to Replace Jessica Tarlov on The Five After Brutal Ratings Shakeup
FREEZE FRAME.
It started with a whisper in the hallways at Fox. A few stray texts. A strange silence in the makeup room. Then came the ratings dip — sharper than expected, louder than anyone inside the network wanted to admit.
And now? The chatter has exploded into something bigger. Jessica Tarlov, the liberal counterweight on The Five, may be on her way out — and insiders are pointing to Harold Ford Jr. as the one waiting in the wings.
Executives are scrambling. Staffers are stunned. And rival networks? They’re already circling, waiting for the fallout.
The question isn’t whether Fox News will make a move. It’s what this move says about the future of its most powerful show — and whether The Five is about to become something very different.
Behind the scenes, sources say the decision is “all but made.” But in front of the cameras? Silence. For now.
