.DanaPerino the cohost of 'America's Newsroom' and 'The Five' — the most-watched show in cable news — doesn't talk about how she votes, embraces election reality and has strict rules for the dog park.
“It was actually harder for me than maybe it looked from the outside,” she admits. “I had only ever spoken on behalf of somebody else. I had never given my personal opinion out loud — to anyone. First of all, why would anybody care? I wasn’t elected to anything.”
When the job did turn into a permanent gig, Perino and McMahon moved to New York; they live on the Upper West Side. And Perino shed some of those early TV inhibitions. But that does not mean she has succumbed to the fringe histrionics propagated by some of her colleagues. Rather, she is a measured, self-deprecating presence on Fox News.
“I’ve tried to bring a little bit of a lighter touch, where appropriate,” she says. “A little oh-my-gosh humor. It’s really amazing how we can have these big debates [on ‘The Five’] and in the commercial breaks we’re just talking about our dogs or what shows we watched last night. And so I find that people perceive there’s more polarization out there in the world than there really is in their day-to-day life. I truly believe that.
