Fox News host Jesse Watters has officially stepped into former host Tucker Carlson’s prime time slot. The announcement of Watters’ promotion led to an intense discussion among the co-hosts of ‘The View,’ a prominent liberal American talk show.
During his first appearance in the coveted time slot, Watters received an unexpected phone call from his mother, a self-proclaimed Democrat. Her light-hearted congratulations swiftly transitioned into advice.
“Do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes. We do not want to lose you, and we want no lawsuits,” she said, urging her son. She also suggested a shift from intense focus on former president Trump and more attention on broader, substantive issues.
The inclusion of his mother’s remarks on air sparked a discussion among the co-hosts of ‘The View,’ with Joy Behar calling Watters a “terrible person.” The conversation soon became heated as the co-hosts began dissecting Watters’ past remarks. They then bantered that Watters was rewarded for “bad behavior” with his new prime time slot.
WATCH:
As Watters steps into the spotlight, the question remains: Will he be able to fill Tucker Carlson’s shoes?
