Jesse Watters
Fox News picked Jesse Watters to serve as permanent host of its 8 p.m. show as part of a broader shake-up of the network’s prime-time lineup.
In moving from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., Watters will fill an hour that has been helmed by rotating hosts since Fox fired top-rated host Tucker Carlson in late April.
During a period of soft ratings for the network, Watters has been a success as host of the 7 p.m. hour, which the network had once reserved for news coverage.
