Perino and fellow The Five co-hosts were discussing a survey during Wednesday night’s episode that indicated most people have not tried anything new in the past two months.

 

The political commentator, who was former president George W. Bush’s press secretary, then turned her attention to co-host Jessica Tarlov.

 

‘Jessica, did you try anything new?’ Perino said. ‘You’ve got something new coming.’

 

A look of shock washed over Tarlov’s face as she reluctantly responded to the query.

 

I’m pregnant.’

‘Let me be the one to accidentally spill the beans. But they are such good beans.’

 

Tarlov responded: ‘Saved me a lot of fretting over a reveal. Love you!’
