A New Chapter for Fox News – Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott makes a special announcement: America’s NUMBER ONE News Channel with Top-Tier hosts promises an exceptional experience for millions of viewers!
On June 26, 2023, Fox News turned a new page in its history. It was announced that Watters would officially take over the network’s evening primetime slot (8pm) – a position previously held by Tucker Carlson before he left the network in April. This means Watters will lead Jesse Watters Primetime – his own show launched in early 2022 – during the most important broadcast hour, while still keeping his role as co-host on The Five.
In an official statement, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott stated:
“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. 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 new lineup is expected to take effect on July 17, 2023, with Watters continuing to balance both major roles.
Regarding his personal life, Watters was previously married to stylist and television personality Noelle Inguagiato and has twin daughters Ellie and Sophie. After their 2018 divorce, he proposed to journalist and producer Emma DiGiovine in August 2019 and married later that year; they now have two more children: a son Jesse Jr and a daughter Georgina.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Watters currently has an estimated net worth of $5 million, with an annual salary around $2 million, and his wealth is expected to increase thanks to the new role.
