The panelists of Fox News’ “Outnumbered” were left shaken when something occurred outside their New York City studio during a recent show.
Even though it is unclear what happened, the co-host Emily Compagno told viewers that the show would return in a few moments after it was about to go to commercial.
As outtake music began to play, Emily looked to her left and waved at someone in the studio.

Harris Faulkner, Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, Kayleigh McEnany and Ari Fleischer all seemed concerned by something they saw outside of the window.
Several of the network’s viewers also noticed this behavior on Twitter which sparked an interest about what could have caused such concern from them.
I was wondering myself! I saw a scuffle outside with a man and a woman. The man hit the bush in one shot.

Fox News had reached a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over airing 2020 election lies leading to the abrupt departure of its then top-rated host Tucker Carlson from the network one week later.
The ratings dipped significantly post his absence and Jesse Watters took over his 8 pm slot while Laura Ingraham moved from 10 pm to 7 pm, Sean Hannity remained at 9 pm and Greg Gutfeld moved to 10 pm followed by Trace Gallagher at 11 pm time slot.
This change was made official in a press release with Watters being one of most watched personalities on Fox News for his roles as co-host for The Five and solo host for Watters’ World debuting in 2022 in the 7 pm slot making him take up Carlson’s place following his termination.
On July 17th, Jesse Watters Primetime made its debut averaging 2.4 million viewers weekly while Gutfeld! averaged 1.98 million viewers and 252,000 respectively thus making The Five a top rated cable news program with 2.59 million average viewers.
