Fox News has named Jesse Watters as the newest star of its 8 p.m. ET primetime slot, as the network looks to boost ratings two months after ousting Tucker Carlson from the post.
Watters, who rose through the ranks from production assistant to one of the most popular faces on the network, has established himself as one of Fox News’ leading conservative voices. He is currently the host of the 7 p.m. opinion show “Jesse Watters Primetime,” and appears regularly on “The Five,” one of Fox News’ highest rated programs.
As part of the nighty show shakeup, Laura Ingraham’s show will begin the primetime programming block at 7 p.m., while Sean Hannity’s segment will remain in the 9 p.m. slot. Greg Gutfield’s comedy program will move to 10 p.m.
“FOX News Channel has been America’s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup,” said Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott in a news release. “The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will ensure our viewers have access to unrivaled coverage from our best-in-class team for years to come.”
The moves comes as Fox News’ primetime ratings have suffered since Carlson’s abrupt departure in April.

I like Jesse, I think it was a good choice..Glad to see Geraldo gone too

Jesse Waters is an interesting dude. But he will do and say whatever Fox tells him to.
He's no Tucker Carlson.

Jesse is really good, second best. I will not tune in. FOX must not be rewarded for silencing truth.
