Controversial ‘The Five’ co-host Jesse Watters gets a daily program on Fox News
LA TimesFox News is turning over a nightly hour to Jesse Watters, an irreverent and controversial co-host of its roundtable show “The Five” who is one of the channel’s most provocative personalities. When interviewing residents of New York’s Chinatown in 2016, Watters asked if he was supposed to bow to greet them, if they were selling stolen goods and if they could “take care of North Korea for us.” Watters, who has had a weekend program on Fox News since 2017, does not pretend to be a journalist or a serious commentator. His recent best-selling book is titled “How I Saved The World.” Fox News announced early last year that it was turning the 7 p.m. hour over to an opinion host, moving news anchor Martha MacCallum to an earlier time slot. Dagen McDowell left, and Jessica Tarlov, with Fox News co-hosts of ‘The Five,’ Jesse Watters, Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld.
