Fox News’ The Five Premieres With Talk Of Media Matters, Sarah Palin, And Bob Beckel’s Love Life

video
» 90 comments

Bob Beckel may be right about Glenn Beck’s audience “fleeing” his Fox News replacement, but it certainly won’t be because of boredom. The new show, The Five, which will be airing in Beck’s place for the rest of the summer, premiered today with an energetic talk about most of your usual Fox News subjects like Sarah Palin’s presidential chances, Congress’ waste, and the debt ceiling. There was, however, way more jokes about hookers than we expected.

While the show began a bit awkwardly with a wide shot of the titular five smiling at the camera as if they were welcoming us to the world’s most uncomfortable family dinner, the rest was a pretty entertaining time. Most of the fun of the show was thanks to Beckel who continuously shouted out and received insults as if he were said family’s crazy uncle (since this is a Fox News opinion show, “crazy uncle” can be read as “lone liberal”). The four-against-one set up of the panel may have become a repetitive dressing down, but Beckel was boisterous enough for three hosts. Whether he was making trenchant arguments (pointing out that Eric Bolling was jumping through hoops to connect a George W. Bush-signed bill back to President Obama) or just saying ridiculous things (describing an energy efficient lightbulb as looking like his friend’s hookah), he was a whole lot of fun to watch and inspired some of the best moments in his co-hosts as they tried to get him to shut up already with jokes at his expense (many of which about hookers or ex-wives).

The whole panel though seemed well-cast with everyone’s roles clearly delineated. Bolling was the seeming leader, introducing the show and the last segment, Dana Perino was there to keep things on task, Greg Gutfeld is the comedian (everyone introduced a segment and his introduction was basically just a daytime “Gregalogue”), and Andrea Tantaros is the firebrand. It will be intriguing to see how the show changes as slightly different line ups will appear on different days.

Interestingly, while Gutfeld and Beckel garnered the most laughs during the hour, Tantaros had the two biggest. First when she interrupted Gutfeld mocking Rep. Boehner’s skin tan with a reminder that he’s on Fox News where bronzer is “a staple,” and later, during a segment attacking Media Matters’ tax exempt status, when she earnestly claimed to feel they were beneath discussing on TV. Um, Andrea, have you watched your channel recently? I don’t think anyone is having that problem.

Fox News jokes aside, the network seems to have a fun show on its hands. I’m not sure if it was in any way substantive but, in the genre of television shows where a bunch of people bring up news stories and then yell at each other, it was certainly fun.

    I look forward to another FOX show trouncing the NON-competition.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    The show was pleasant and well done .

    Too many liberals,though .

    Actually, Beckel was okay .

    If Beckel does something stupid , will he be suspendered ?

  • BFD

    lol@ four against one.

    Bob Beckel is the Elizabeth Hasslebeck of Fox News.

    I enjoyed it. Only complaint was Boiling, he’s such an ass.

    Make Gutfeld the host and the show will be perfect.

    I guess all things considered it could be worse.

    It could be a deranged crybaby with Nazi Tourrettes spewing end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it theories

    Meh. Six people- Now that would be a show.

  • BFD

    Does anyone else notice what a great job E.D. Hill has been doing on CNN?
    God, I hated that FOX b*tch for all her Obama bomb-throwing like “terrorist fist-bump”.

    She started out on CNN as Elliot Spitzer’s side-kick and now she hosts on her own for hours at a time.
    She has turned into a tough fair-and-balanced interviewer and a good straight news reporter.

    It just goes to show…it’s not always the person, sometimes it’s the marching orders.

    The four lackeys for Ailes and Murdoch could not muster an original thought between them. Neither could the other guy actually.

    Come to think of it he is probably a lackey too.

    Real Time is 100x better but is on only once a week so don’t expect much out of this pale imitation.

    Being a hetero chick I’m v. comfortable in saying that Tantaros is smoking hot.

    Aw, sadness.

    Every hot chick in Hollywood is a liberal.

    Of course they are actresses – just like these blond birdbrains on Fox News. I caught Megyn Kelly on the Howard Stern show – she is no conservative at all. She is a pro-choice feminist in real life. She has done a little lesbian action in her private life – Stern gets to the story like no one else.

  • laceyunderalls

    “Every hot chick in Hollywood is a liberal.”

    Ah, the braindead libturds that read scripts for a living. Congratulations on your “win”.

    Question – how many of those Hollywood hotties could tell you who the Speaker of the House is?

    Your most articulate hottie is Jen Aniston and all she could muster up back in the day was ‘f*ck Bush’.

    Articulate group of broads you got there.

    Sorry that all you have is dreams of ‘hate-f*cking’ ours. Stable bunch, you liberal “men”.

    I agree with you there. Cons have alot of hot babes for sure.

  • mitchflorida

    I give it a C+. I would like to see Gutfeld moderate the show, and also maybe get some guests in addition to the 5.

    I am sorry, but Bob Bechel grates on me. Prefer a more intellectual liberal like A.B. Stoddard or Charles Lane of the Washington Post. Beckel dumbs the show down.

    What does that tell you about yourself? E.D. Hill is the same as she ever was… the only thing that’s changed, is YOU.

    Perhaps this is the point where you realize you hate anyone who works at FNC, simply because they’re at FNC. It has nothing to do with reality.

    I was very disappointed in “the five”. I thought it was empty rehash. We are used to a show with substance. We learned something and had to think. You need to take some lessons from Beck. The show needs CONTENT!

  • OxyCon

    Anyone know why ABC hasn’t hired Dana Perino to host their morning show and their Sunday political shows?

    ABC has a record of hiring telegenic, well spoken, former Presidential spokespersons, so why haven’t they, or any of the other network for that matter, hired her yet?

    She’s much more attractive then George Snuffleupagus and she asks much better questions and speaks much better than him too.

  • ShareTheNews

    This story is just freakin nuts!

  • timcajun

    This show may not make it! No new world order, no conspiracies, little propaganda, mild hate, no “see” I’m always right, and the end is near, but we do have “fair and balanced” ‘The FIVE”,…. 4 to 1.

  • Pokerdude777

    Bob Beckel acknowledges he’s in a slim minority of middle aged white men who are STILL Liberals. That’s because the majority of us become smarter as we get older.

    A pregnant women gets murdered and the suspect is caught and charged with Double homicide. Bob Beckel says. “Hey that’s great, yes he should be”. Then the next day argues for women to have the choice about her own body…..UHH HELLO????? I happen to see the stupidity of the later arguement after agreeing with the DOUBLE homice charge. Wake up….wtf?????

    Publius219 said:
    And no mention of the News Corp. scandal, I presume.

    Ah, I actually meant to mention this in the post. The show is clearly focusing on American news right now and doing so with at least a couple of the segments designated for lighter stories (Derek Jeter today). That being said, if they go a whole week without mentioning a story that seems to be getting bigger and bigger, the absence will certainly be felt.

    That being said, I think this would be the perfect Fox News show to broach this tricky subject with. The premiere had a light, self-referential tone and wasn’t afraid to bite the hand that feeds (the bronzer joke, Beckel mocking the overall conservative panel), so they could easily make fun of the fact that the network appears to have criminal relatives across the pond.

    Hmmmm. Now that I think about it, if the story gets much worse (ie. papers other than NotW being involved, 9/11 connection) jokes might become rather tasteless and could be held aloft as signs of callousness by FNC’s critics.

    It really is a tricky situation.

  • TfT

    I’m so glad to see this Jon:

    “That being said, if they go a whole week without mentioning a story that seems to be getting bigger and bigger, the absence will certainly be felt.”

    I’m assuming this is a standard you will apply to ALL stories on ALL networks (il.e., Holder Obstruction of justice, for example), and I look fowrard to mediaite’s continued attention to stories that are being spiked or ignored by ALL networks.

    Excellent.

  • Just4thefax

    Fact: They could play reruns of any Fox program and ratings would beat the other liberal stations combined. What-s up whinners?

  • BoomShakalaka

    Funny how Beckel kept mentioning the NRA to defend “Soros”‘ MM’s tax exempt status.

    I guess he doesn’t know that place called the Media Research Center huh….you know,that group funded by Murdoch who are enjoying the same tax exemptions that MM does…that’s odd…

    MM is non-profit, so of course some rich people are gonna donate…nothing wrong with that.

  • jacobjakeu

    They spared no expense. A cast of their “B” people, not even full-time, and a too-small table.

    To their credit, even their “B” people are better casting than the bulk of the “A” people at other news networks.

    But seriously, did they spend even an hour thinking up this show?

    Talk about a placeholder. Yet they knew forever Beck was leaving. Think someone dropped the ball there.

  • Liz Kalsch

    This show Five at Five has to be the worst show on all of Fox. Maybe if you send Bob Beckle to
    Antartica you might have a decent show. The others are not bad but the problem is that you can
    never try to have a show as good as Glenn Beck with that bunch of spare parts. I think you
    know that already.

  • NonElite

    I like the show so far. Differing points of view without talking over one another and without acrimony was kind of refreshing. I hope they stay more with vital news. I think Gutfeld is the spark-plug they need.

  • JMcCarthy

    More lie’s from America Hating Marxist’s like Beckel. The NRA set up a seperate political action group OUTSIDE of the regular bullets and guns NRA and any money they get from this SEPERATE group, ILA, is NOT TAX DEDUCTABLE. By the way, ALL I have seen of this broken record Marxist’s show was this clip and I will never watch Fox when they have these Communist’s on.

  • scristanti

    I liked it because I like everyone on the panel but heard last week Hannity introduced Kimberly Guilfoyle as being the new host of the Five wonder what happened , I like Kimberly.

  • The Rock

    I like The five it’s a pretty good show and it isn’t yelling which is good. I like that it is light hearted and that they joke around I hope the show last and that FNC will keep it.

  • Mkracz14

    Has anyone noticed that Beckel talks too much and Bolling does not stop him. If it was not for that I would watch the show. Andrea is great. I could do without Greg. Where are the others?

  • Rallysportscbshop

    Please tell me this 5 crap is just till they get some thing up and going?

  • guest

    Beckel said that the Viet Nam war was over 30 years ago – for some Viet Nam Vets it will never be over and they can’t forget what Jane Fonda did and what she represents – a country that turned their backs when the Vets came home.

    Loving the show! Very entertaining! My only suggestion is to cover up the windows. Why do we have to see people walking and vehicles in the background?  I find it disconcerting!

  • FLB

    The Five show does nothing for me  – it isn’t interesting to hold my attention.  Also, With Dana Perino – have followed her with Fox – 1) person who applies her eye makeup must be on something – has her makeup to heavy  – she is such a pretty woman and intelligent on government politics.  Should calm her eye makeup down - bad…………

    I think this is an interesting and fun show. Other than the fact that Bob Beckel is an overbearing d***.

    He has an obsession with sex that will be noticed if you watch on certain days. Gag the old pervert has been.

    It will be interesting to see how long he lasts. Today he was playing solitaire on his iPhone. He’s soo cool;)

    I think that ya’ll need to give obama a break he came in to a economy that was already on a spiraling downfall. I did not get to see all his speech yesterday but i caught the end where he was talking about the tax bracket for the wealthy i think he has came up with a good idea i am a citizen that lives from check to check and i dont see why you think it is so wrong at least he is thinking about all americans and not just the wealthy like the republicans do. what else is there really to do? It is time for us as a country to stand together and help each other out of this debt problem. i see everyday new foreigners that come here and get soo much help with their bills, food, and school. Do u know that i am a single mother and i make 9.50 an hour and that the human resource office told me all they could do was give me 10 dollars a month for food. How is that helping me or my child. i was born and raised here and can’t get the help a foriegner can i am not prejudice by no means but how is it fair that they get more help than us americans and it is our tax dollars that pay for their benifits. there is a lot more wrong in this country than obama can fix so if he is trying one step at time we need to back him up and quit slandering him on t.v….

  • Will Corpora

    Bob Beckel has to go.  Get a new whipping boy that is less abrasive and much brighter than him.  He is killing the product of Five, and he adds nothing for Hannity.  Look harder for intelligent liberal commentary if you want to be perceived at enlightened.  Consider a revamping of Five completely, or a new product.  Your numbers are probably reflecting what I am saying, if they are not they probably will.  I a conservative view point, but not one that comes out of a can.

    I am just now watching FOX Five……..I don’t know who that 20 something is on there, but, in my opinion, she has GOT to go.  She has NO life experience and to imply, or say outwardly as she did, that teachers should not be complaining about there health benefits, I would like to invite her to get off her BIG ASS and spend ONE week in a classroom of children and see how far her UNITED health care system would carry her BIG ASS.  She does not have any idea of what she is talking about.  I usually listen and watch FOX, but I will NEVER listen to your FIVE show anymore due to her insults about teachers’ health benefits.  She is so out of reality.  She must NOT have any children.  I invite her to my classroom.  Have her contact me.  Would she?  NOOOOOO…..cuz she doesn’t know what the HELL she is talking about….no experience.  She is blowing smoke out her mouth and her BIG ass.  Maybe someone in make up can help her pretty face, but not her fat body.  She makes me sick!  Looks like I have to go to another station due to her stupidity!

  • Cynthia goodman

    Not surprising since you don’t even know proper English.

  • Oathkeeper

    I am with you,,Bickel is the fatass clown I have never understood why Fox ever had him on anything. He fits right in with all of the demented, pieces of crap that are liberals…I came to deplore and detest anyone or anything connected to the Democratic party, they are so wrong on each and everything American….whatever is right, they are left…whatever evil spews out of any leftist mouth is lies or just wrong. It seems to me all Democrats had to be born with some tools missing and lost any sembalence of any common sense.  Back to the Subject, KICK Bickel off of Fox News. I watch Fox to get the truth and not listen to Bickel run down the right and try to built up Obummer Soetoro

  • Fedup

    The Five is only one step (and a small one) from the View.  I can’t stand to watch them so switch to another program.  If I want to watch dribble similar to Bob Beckel’s I can watch CNBC.  Put the program out of it’s misery (and mine).

    I personally enjoy THE FIVE. The subject matter is up to date and the discussion is lively.
    After saying that, I would wish for less interruption of each-other and multiple mouths going
    at the same time. It’s hard to tell who is in charge. But a good show.

    It burned me up yesterday listening to the blonde ramble on about ‘entitlements’ involving SS and Medicare
    I paid into SS the entire time I was military and thereafter so she needs to get over herself when she uses
    the term ‘entitlement’ which in my mind means something you did not earn, but was given to you e.g.
    welfare
    I feel its needs overhauling but just stop with the ‘entitlement’ as a description.

  • Craig Bray

    I have really enjoyed the show most days, that is, until Bob opens his mouth.  Are you guys sure that it’s not really Rachel Maddow in a fat suit?  I would like you to ask Bob to show us one City in the United States; run by the Liberal Progressive Democrats; that has a successfully run, non-bankrupt, non- overrun entitlement program ,poverty stricken, welfare housing falling down, give me some Obama money residents success story?  If he can’t, then tell him to exit his 1970′s flashback of the famous LOSING campaign he engineered and watched fail, and finally realize that the Progressive ideas they have been trying to ram down our throats will fail miserably, just like the have in the past.  P.S. Ladies, I think you are all very intelligent, informed on the subjects each day, and also very hot.  Greg, grow a pair and pick a side.  Eric has a lot of financial Knowledge to bring to the table.  Research your points well and then ram them down Bob’s throat.

  • Stanley Long06

    I cannot understand why the other four hosts on the 5 tolerate Bob Beckle’s intorlence of them and their view, rolling his eyes with nearly everything they say that he differs with.
    He shows true discuss with them, putting his feet on the table they set around and making it clear that he thinks he knows better than the other four combined. Why do they put up with his derision? Have they no backbone. He certainly does, because he does not mind affinding them.

    It common knowledge by now Obama is in the pocket of the unions and Acorn and all of their branches. He also supported the OWS. That was started by him and his frineds that are Anti American.

His lack of action to punish the law violaters.

  • Walteraportier

  • Keriskorner

    to Mr. Beckel: when all of us non-criminal old people who have NEVER  so much as gotten a parking ticket, can afford 3 meals a day, maybe then, and only then, should prisoners be allowed 3 meals a day—when my husband died 6 years ago,  I was forced to only have enough resources for 2 meals a day—I am totally disabled, on a tiny SS income, and get the most generous food stamp allowance of $4.00 a week!!  Now, WAKE UP !!!  These prisoners are treated way too good, and you know it !!

  • Richard T. Bosma

    Beckel has a problem with Conservatives because his Liberal ideoligey conflicts with the happenings in the real world. He is suffering with the “Ceasers’ Fiddilling syndrome”. Where his kind keep trying to spend their way to prosperity when Austerity shoold prevail.But then, trying to reason with a liberal does
    nothing but lowers one to thier level!!!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_DUJ4UNON7RSMGP4A6RY7U673PU William

    HAVING TO EVOLVE FROM A CHICAGO DEMCRAT TO REPUBLICAN TO  INDEPENDANT, I CAN RELATE TO BECKELS ROUGHHOUSE LIFE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT I CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR EVERY MORNING AND STILL RESPECT THE PERSON I SEE. HOW A PERSON CAN SELL HIS SOUL FOR HIS PARTY IS SOMETHING I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND. BECKEL SHOULD KNOW THAT EVERY TIME HE OPENS HIS  MOUTH, HE ADDS TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. IN A VERY SHORT TIME, I WILL HAVE TO FACE MY CREATOR AND GIVE ANSWERS FOR THE THINGS I HAVE DONE. I AM VIETNAM VET, DRIVEN EIGHTEEN WHEELERS COAST TO COAST, WORKED ON OIL RIGS, WORKED AS A BARROOM BOUNCER AND WORKED IN THE CONSTRUCTION FIELD, ALL OF WHICH HAVE GIVEN ME A LOT TO ATONE FOR, BUT I CAN STILL LOOK IN THAT MIRROR WITHOUT SHAME. BECKEL HAS BEEN GIVEN THE  PLATFORM  AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE .HE IS IN A POSITION WHERE PEOPLE WOULD STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE. HE IS GOING TO FACE THE SAME GOD THAT I AM AND HIS SNIDE COMMENTS AND ROLLING HIS EYES WILL NOT IMPRESS GOD.

    The Five is actually a good show.  Bob is very abrasive most of the time and not very bright but that is typical for most libs.  He is also very rude and hateful to Andrea.  Don’t see how she can stand to sit next to him.  I would be punching him out if he talked to me like he does her.

    Beckle should be forced forced to resign from the show.  as for me, I am sick of this show and  his disrespectful commentary.  Disrespect of a title of Congress or of the US military is just disrectful and demonstrates the attitude of the current society.  Because of your refusal to apologize, I am not watching this show anymore and encourage others to just stop.  and for sponsors to stop or demand a programming change.

    I’m listening to you clowns talking about Mr. Cheney’s condition…shame on you, and who are you to discuss this very tender and soul subject? what is your damn business, if he’s getting a new heart yesterday or today…you should all apologize to Mr. Cheney’s family for talking about this very private  subject…if you do not have anything to talk about, close your show down and take another job, you loosers!!  Who are you and I’m talking about all of you clowns on tv, to decide how old can you be to have a heart transplant…, it can happen to you, your kid, your mom/dad…you have zero respect for humanity….shut the hell up!!
