Jesse Watters will take over Tucker Carlson’s former Fox News time slot, the network announced on Monday in a dramatic reshaping of the network’s primetime opinion lineup.as well as his co-hosting duties at 5 p.m. onShifting up to the 7 p.m. slot will be Laura Ingraham, who’ll vacate her 10 p.m. hour to make way for Greg Gutfeld’s chat showwill move up to 11 p.m. Sean Hannity’s long-running primetime program will remain in its current 9 p.m. slot.
“FOX News Channel has been America’s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup,” CEO Suzanne Scott wrote in a statement, according to. “The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will ensure our viewers have access to unrivaled coverage from our best-in-class team for years to come.”
The schedule change comes exactly nine weeks after the network fired its previous primetime titan, Tucker Carlson, reportedly for a multitude of reasons centering around his comments unearthed as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox .featuring a rotating lineup of hosts including Brian Kilmeade, Kayleigh McEnany, and Harris Faulkner.
Sources at Fox News indicated to The Daily Beast that the network’s primetime reshuffle was a “safe” move, especially since the conservative cable giant has seen its weeknight ratings plummet since Carlson’s firing. At the same time, they suggested that Ingraham—who has been in primetime since 2017—would likely be “pissed” about the move, especially since she now has Bret Baier’s “hard news” programas her lead-in rather than getting the handoff from her pal Hannity’s Trump-boosting talk show.
As one network reporter put it, it could prove an “awkward handoff” from Baier to Ingraham, especially because of her long adversarial relationship with the network’s “straight news” side. “Personally, I think we’d all be better off if [Fox News] just eliminated programming after 6:59 p.m.,” the reporter quipped.
