Fox News interrupts show for disturbance outside window

An unspecified disturbance rocked the cast of a Fox News show, just as the show was going on commercial break.

What happened outside Fox News studio?

The incident happened outside the windows of a street-level studio at Fox News headquarters, during filming of the show Outnumbered. Reportage comes from Johnathan Jones of The Western Journal, who dropped the story at 1:36 p.m. yesterday.Hostess Emily Compagno teased the break – then looked out the window, gasped, and motioned to the camera crew. The director cut to the wide-angle camera, but as it zoomed in, hostess Harris Faulkner stood up, turned to the window, and stood, facing left. Whatever was happening outside that window captured her full attention. Soon, Compagno, fellow hostesses Lisa Kennedy Montgomery and Kayleigh McEnany, and guest Ari Fleischer all were staring out the window.

Nick Fondacaro of Media Research Center captured the moment and embedded it in this tweet:

When the show resumed, Faulkner teased the next story – about a Brown University student survey saying 38 percent of students “do not identify as ‘straight,’” and that this number has risen sharply since 2010, when this survey first began. She said not one word about what caught her eye so dramatically before the break. Tellingly, the crew had drawn all the window shades.

As they came back from the break, there was no note about what happened but all the window shades were down. pic.twitter.com/KRV4YfoCk4— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 10, 2023

At time of posting, no one knows what could have caught the eye of the hostesses and guest, and impelled the crew to draw the shades.

Several other viewers saw the reaction and posted their comments:

But one viewer dropped what could be a clue:

I was wondering myself! I saw a scuffle outside with a man and a woman. The man hit the bush in one shot.— Leigh Ann Fisher (@LeighAnnFishe19) July 10, 2023

Where is that street scene located?

Fox News headquarters sits at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, also known as Sixth Avenue. The studio appears to be on the ground floor corner, where Sixth Avenue crosses West 48^th Street. This location, part of the Rockefeller Center expansion, lies eleven blocks south of Central Park and three blocks north and east of the Theater District.

No updates on this story are available, and Fox News has made no statement about what Faulkner and the rest saw.
