He will host his signature program, Jesse Watters Primetime, at 8pm on weeknights.
“I am most looking forward to having an extra hour to write scripts and plan the show,” Watters shared with The U.S. Sun.
“I hope I’ll be able to consistently deliver great television, fresh analysis, new faces, compelling video, breaking news, and an honest voice who speaks to the American people nightly.”
Watters got his start as a Fox News production assistant in 2002, when he was fresh out of college.


Previously, Watters hosted the Saturday talk show Watters’ World, which ended in January 2022 as his initial primetime slot began.
Watters will remain a co-host of Fox News’ afternoon show The Five, which he joined in 2017, in addition to his new 8pm timeslot.
The new Fox News primetime lineup officially begins on July 17.
The shakeup comes after Carlson’s departure from the network in April.
A new evening schedule at Fox News has seen some of the mainstay anchors and hosts shift from their previous slots.
Laura Ingraham’s The Ingraham Angle has moved from 10pm to 7pm and Greg Gutfeld’s namesake program has moved to 10pm.
Trace Gallagher, a news anchor at the network, will move up to 11pm with Fox News @ Night.
Sean Hannity will remain in his 9pm slot.
“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,” Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said.
“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.”
