Outnumbered (sometimes stylized as Out#) is an American daytime news and talk show that airs on Fox News Channel at 12 p.m ET. The series features four female panelists along with one guest male panelist (hence the show's gimmick, called "one lucky guy") discussing the news and issues of the day.[1] The program premiered on April 28, 2014, and is the number one cable news broadcast in its time slot.[2]

Former co-hosts (Outnumbered)
  • Andrea Tantaros – a full-time co-host from early 2015 through April 2016. She says that she was forced off the show because of repeated complaints about sexual harassment by former Fox News head Roger Ailes, while Fox News lawyers say that she was suspended because they weren't given a chance to vet her book that was published on April 26, 2016.[6]
  • Stacey Dash – a prominent semi-regular host early in the program's history, but was seen less frequently as time progressed, and eventually left Fox News after her contract lapsed.
  • Julie Roginsky – former semi-regular host and Fox News contributor, Roginsky filed a lawsuit against the network in 2017. Like Tantaros, she alleged sexual harassment by Roger Ailes.[7]
  • Meghan McCain – a former full-time co-host from November 2016 to September 2017. McCain took the seat vacated by Tantaros seven months earlier. She was a semi-regular host since she was hired by Fox News in July 2015.[8] McCain is the daughter of the late U.S. Senator John McCain. McCain took a break from the show following her father's cancer diagnosis, and then left the network. In October 2017, McCain joined ABC's The View.
  • Sandra Smith – an original co-host of the program, she left the show in 2018 when she became a co-anchor of America's Newsroom and that show's subsequent expansion to three hours in June 2018.
  • Melissa Francis – Former Little House on the Prairie star (as Cassandra Cooper Ingalls), former co-host of CNBC's The Call, and co-anchor of After The Bell on Fox Business Network.
