CNN host Ashleigh Banfield took a jab at her rival Fox News show “Outnumbered” on Tuesday, saying the show wasn’t as smart as hers.

Banfield was using the video streaming service Periscope to show off-air interactions and engage with viewers when she received this question: “Why aren’t you watching Outnumbered?”

“Why are you not watching Outnumbered?” Banfield responded via the live-stream. “Because it’s not as smart as this show, guys. That’s just the way it is. I mean, you can have coffee klatch and chat about stories, or you can learn stuff from smart folk, and you’re look at two of the smartest ones right there.”

Banfield’s show, “LegalView” airs at noon ET — so does Fox’s “Outnumbered.” The conservative show features a panel of four women and “one lucky guy.”
