It was Watters' first 8pm show since Carlson, 54, was fired by the network in April, days after Fox settled its legal fight with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over defamation allegations related to the 2020 presidential election. Jesse Watters Primetime, which aired for the first time yesterday evening, attracted 2.4 million viewers compared to Carlson's usual 3.2 million The former star recently announced that he is launching a new version of his show on Twitter The 8pm slot is traditionally the most sought after in cable news and has caused something of a headache for Fox News since Carlson's exit.
