Fox News announced on Monday that Jesse Watters has been named the permanent host of the network’s 7 p.m. timeslot.

He will remain a co-host “The Five,” one of the top rated cable news shows currently on air, according to FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott. At the same time, Watters will relinquish his weekend show “Watters’ World,” with a new 8 p.m. Saturday night program to be announces at a later date.

Good for him. Jesse Waters is one of the best hosts on Fox.

This is very good news. He is intelligent, articulate, attractive and very savvy about whatever is the latest news. He is also fearless about going after Biden and the Dems. We much prefer him to noisy Tucker. He deserves this program. So do we. He’s one of ours.

Lose the smirk, Jesse, and I'll start watching.

He's a good conservative, quick witted with good sense of humor, and fearless in politics.
But what a city-boy wussie he is around anything in the country. I've seen him a few times in various country settings dealing with 'non-city' stuff like animals....really way out of his comfort zone.
But he'll be great on that show. Just don't invite him to go catch pythons in the swamps or something.

Good grief. I can’t imagine boycotting a Conservative’s excellent program because of a facial expression. I hadn’t noticed a smirk.
Our quest for perfection marches on...

I figured he would get it. I can take him in doses . He is an eye in the mirror kind of guy - very full of himself as was BIll O’Rielly who Jesse imitates in manner and speech.
I’m glad he is off The Five which has become unwatchable due to Geraldo and Dana’s new dog.

I would have liked to see that spot filled by Mark Steyn. He filled in a few times and did an outstanding job. However Mark seems to persona non grata on TV and radio for some unknown reason.
That said, I’ll watch Jesse.

He is not off his co-Hosting position on The Five! This New Show is in addition to The Five! That said, Jesse is one of my Favorites. I love his Sly Sense of Humor. I haven't ever seen a smirk (and we watch The Five every night)! I think he will do well in this new Show. He does a great job of interviewing both Republicans and Democrats. He doesn't go for the Juggler as Tucker does, but he can shove that shiv in and the person doesn't even know it! Good for Jessee. I think he is destined for greater things down the Road (maybe Politics)!

Apparently, Jesse Watters will continue as co-host of The Five. Speaking of Dana, on January 6, (last week) she described the riot as a “deadly attack.” Dana is insufferable. If she is an anchor on Fox News 2022 election night coverage, I’ll switch channels.

Mark Steyn has his own nightly program - this week? - according to his website:
Every night this week, I'll be on your TV screens for a full hour of The Mark Steyn Show on the new must-see UK channel GB News. The fun starts at 8pm GMT/3pm North American Eastern. Hope you'll dial us up if you are in the general vicinity of the receiving apparatus.

I would venture that Steyn prefers his freedom to being tied to a contract with Fox or any other outlet.

Good for Jesse. I hope his left-wing liberal parents choke on his success as a Conservative.
I'm beginning to dislike Gutfeld!'s show, all he does is yell and make snide remarks about his guests.(either they use drugs or hint they're homosexuals) I don't know why anyone goes on his show. It's getting really tiresome, he's a one trick pony.

Well this just makes me proud as punch!
Tucker, Jesse and I all went to the same college - a steaming liberal Petri dish in the northeast. They must be having apoplexy that their two most successful graduates are conservative superstars. Seriously, I find this so, so funny.
Choke on it Trinity College!

However, I wish he wouldn't have cheated on his wife. I still won't watch him.

I like Jesse and will watch his show. However, I was very impressed with Will Cain. He did an interview with Dr. Oz and he asked him a question regarding abortion and Oz desperately did the weasel word shuffle but Will was having no part of it. He made Oz look exactly like what he is, a hope to be politician who will dance around any question he does not want to answer. There are many good people at Fox now. Another I really like too is Tammy Bruce. Fox has some great talent.
Is it just me or is Hannity becoming very annoying with his long questions?? My goods they take up the whole segment and the the guest has no time to offer a response. The one thing I did notice about Watters is that he actually listens and lets the guest speak. I think he will do quite well.

I would be willing to bet Mitt Romney is faithful to this wife. That is wonderful. It doesn't make me want to watch him. Mr. Watters says what few have the courage to say.

Here’s another fan of Jesse Waters. He always gets right to the point in a few short sentences and nails the lying left better than anyone. How could his mom not love and agree with him?

I guess Dr. Fauci's tantrum against FOX to have Watter's fired backfired. Good . Keep the backfires coming

I think he is one of the most boring hosts. Him and his world are unwatchable

One of the best inventions, the mute button. When Dana starts talking, I hit mute. Problem solved.

I liked the rotating hosts each week. It gave us working folks a chance to see the vastly diverse ethnic, religious, gender, sexual orientation 'stable' of talent Fox news has. AND they're all smart, attractive and likeable. I watch that hour almost daily and don't detect a mean-spirited or perpetually angry person in the group. And many of them have other gigs on the network as well. Lawrence Jones, Tammy Bruce, Pete Hegseth, Will Cain, the Duffys to name just a few. They've all got youth, enthusiasm, unconditional love of our country... and genuinely seem to like each other. Of course, what would we do without Mark Levin and Steve Hilton on Sunday nights?
Jesse is great and I will watch his new show, but think he could suffer from over exposure.

It would be nice if Tammy Bruce could take over Hannity's spot.
