Jesse Watters may not be a popular figure online, but he was the obvious choice to replace Tucker Carlson. The Bill O’Reilly protege is now the face of Fox News. What does the new primetime lineup mean for the right? Let’s find out.
The new Fox is going to be a very different beast from its Tucker-led days. Tucker Carlson Tonight had an apocalyptic tone that constantly stressed the threats facing America. Those threats included the Great Replacement, groomers taking over schools, mass surveillance, political persecution of dissidents, and nuclear war. His monologues were peppered with jokes that came at the expense of his enemies. Snarky put downs and creative personal attacks made the audience laugh, but they didn't add much levity. Tucker wanted the viewer to know that the people in charge could destroy the country they love–and that they are downright evil.
Jesse Watters is a different breed. Watters is frivolous, not apocalyptic. His monologues are light. Jesse Watters Primetime doesn't describe dire threats posed by evil liberal villains. Crazy leftists, yes, but Watters encourages laughing at them. His monologues make his audience chuckle, not feel under siege. They are tongue-in-cheek rants on the dangers of soccer or how we need hotter politicians. Whatever the topic, the tone remains the same. America has some problems and some bad leaders, but the country is on solid foundations. Don’t get too worked up about political stuff, just laugh at the nonsense with frat boy Jesse.
Nobody takes Watters seriously–at least, not in the sense that they took Tucker seriously. Watters is not a thought leader. He takes his cues from other commentators.
And the thing is, the Watters World formula will probably work. The boomers will watch whatever Fox puts in front of them.

If he was right, that boomers would watch whatever, then Fox wouldn’t have had the ratings crash. Writer exposed as just another childish liberal.
I like Jesse. No doubt after all the firings they have told him without telling him to stay in line.
What an asshat. Offending Fox, its viewers, conservatives (young and old), Jessie, and Tucker in one elitist article.
Boring. Will not oppose the Deep State or NeoCons who rule us. Won’t be watching.
I like Watters but he’s no TC, not by a long shot!
I don’t care for Watters. He thinks he’s cute and clever. He’s not. Won’t watch.
Virginian, you do know, right, that the majority of Freepers are Boomers? Almost all of them.
Tucker on Twitter Ep 7 just dropped 20 minutes ago

Thanks Pollard.
It’s the first I’ve seen of Tucker since they ousted him.
I’ll add him to my list of people I follow on my rarely used Twitter account.
I don't mind Watter. He has a certain "Dennis Miller-esque" quality with his schtick.
I could see him growing into the position and becoming really big.
fnc replaced a lion with a tame housecat ...
Waters the cheater, intern banger. Perfect man for that crap station.

True.
I rarely watch Fox but the few times I’ve seen Watters he seemed amusing & likeable.
I'm still boycotting other FNC shows unless it's some big Breaking News story.
If I want to watch Jesse Waters I will look him up on youtube.
No Fox anymore.
Episodes 1-6 here and I’m sure Ep 7 will be posted soon as well - https://www.bitchute.com/channel/jfqZoFVLDiE9/
