FOX News announced on Monday that Jesse Watters is getting his own talk show on a primetime slot starting January 24, 2022.
Watters was previously known for his appearances on the weeknight show, The Five.
What is Jesse Watters' new show?
Jesse Watters is taking over the 7pm time slot on Fox News after the station tried out a number of possible hosts for a new show.
After much consideration, Fox News chose Watters to be the face of the new show, to be named Jesse Watters Primetime.
The CEO of Fox News Media, Suzanne Scott, said in a statement, "Jesse’s versatility and hosting acumen has grown exponentially over the last five years, and he has developed a deep connection to the audience through two hit shows The Five and Watters’ World."
Watters said he's looking forward to the new show and in a statement, he said, "I’m thrilled to take on this new challenge and am grateful for the opportunity."
Although Watters will no longer play a role on Watters World, which airs on weekends, he will continue to co-host the round-table talk show, The Five.
