The Philadelphia native will remain on “The Five” but will give up his Saturday night show “Watters’ World,” Fox said on Monday.
FILE - Jesse Watters appears on Fox News "The Five" in New York on Oct. 10, 2019. Watters will host a one-hour program, "Jesse Watters Primetime," launching January 24. NEW YORK — Fox News Channel has given its 7 p.m. Eastern hour on weeknights to opinion host Jesse Watters, whose star has risen at the network with the ratings success of “The Five,” where he is one of the regular panelists.
Fox’s Martha MacCallum used to host a more news-oriented program at 7 p.m., but a year ago the network moved her to daytime when rival Newsmax began getting traction at that hour with host Greg Kelly, although Fox has said the change wasn’t related. For the past year, Fox has rotated a series of guest hosts, including Watters, doing opinion shows at 7 p.m.
Watters, 43, started with Fox News in 2002 as a production assistant and quickly gained an on-air role conducting hostile man-on-the-street interviews for then-Fox star Bill O’Reilly. He was elevated to his own weekend show and a role on “The Five” in 2017.
