Monday marks the 8 p.m. debut of Jesse Watters, a star with a wink and a smirk – that last term from the publisher of his book, How I Saved the World. But Muto cautions Watters' on-air success has relied upon "punching down," mocking people without much stature. When the two were producers on The O'Reilly Factor, Watters knew how to pitch segments that pleased O'Reilly, Muto says. The next year, Fox gave Watters a co-host gig on the popular weekday show The Five and his own early-evening weeknight program. Watters divorced his first wife in late 2019 and soon married a former producer for his show, Watters World.
