Watters' new program, “Jesse Watters Primetime” will debut on Jan. 24.
As Mediaite reports:
Watters got his break as a former producer and on-the-street host doing ambush-style interviews for The O'Reilly Factor, parlaying that into increasingly prominent roles at Fox News, including a co-hosting gig on The Five and his Saturday evening show, Watters' World. The promotion to primetime is his biggest break yet, putting an end to that weekend gig, but Watters will remain on The Five.

In making the announcement, CEO Suzanne Scott touted Watters' “versatility and hosting acumen” and “deep connection to the audience” on his various shows. “We look forward to watching him expand his connection even further through this new solo weeknight hour.”
Watters said that he was “thrilled to take on this new challenge” and “grateful for the opportunity.”
