Fox News Channel has named its “permanent” host for the 7p.m. hour, FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott announced Monday.
Jesse Watters will host the “Jesse Watters Primetime” show beginning on Jan. 24.
“Suzanne Scott made a brilliant selection and one that will greatly please Fox News Channel’s loyal audience,” said national radio host Todd Starnes. “Jesse is a ratings winner and an innovative communicator. Most of all he is authentic. What you see is what you get and viewers respect that.”
He will remain a co-host of “The Five” and give up his weekend show called “Watters’ World,” which will be replaced by a new Saturday night program.
