The controversial host Jesse Watters will take the Fox News weeknight prime-time slot once filled by Tucker Carlson, the network said on Monday. Laura Ingraham will host at 7pm, Watters at 8pm, Sean Hannity at 9pm and Greg Gutfeld at 10pm, Fox News said. Since firing Carlson, Fox has filled his 8pm slot with a rotating cast of guest hosts. Fox said it was “more than clear that Jesse Watters was using a metaphor for asking hard-hitting questions to Dr Fauci about gain-of-function research”. Last week, in a segment complaining about homelessness (a regular target) in San Francisco, Watters called unhoused people “bags of flesh mutating on the sidewalk”.
