The Five’s Beckel to Guilfoyle: If Your Legs Were a Foot Shorter, ‘You Think You’d Be Here?’
A segment on Fox News’ The Five Thursday about White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest went off the rails very quickly as co-host Bob Beckel remarked that looks matter when you job involves being on television. He drove that point home by asking Kimberly Guilfoyle if she thought she would have a chance of being on Fox if her legs were a foot shorter.
“He’s far superior to the last guy,” Beckel said of Earnest vs. his predecessor Jay Carney, “just in terms of what he looks like.”
“So we’re now going on looks, that’s perfect Bob,” Guilfoyle replied.
As the rest of the hosts joked that they would “never do that” on The Five, Beckel said to her, “That coming out of your mouth is a little bit of a stretch.”
“Let me ask you this,” Beckel continued, “if those legs of yours were a foot shorter, do you think you’d be here?”
“No Bob, she’d be here,” the much shorter Dana Perino said, pointing to her seat at the table, which conspicuously hides her legs from view.
“If these legs weren’t so long, I wouldn’t have to stick ’em out over there,” Guilfoyle finally answered, indicating that her long legs necessitate her seat at the table and not the other way around. “I could sit nice and delicately where Dana is.”
