Fox Snooze announced Monday that they're replacing Tucker Carlson with Jesse Watters.

From Semafor, "Fox replaces Tucker Carlson with Jesse Watters":

Fox News has tapped conservative commentator Jesse Watters to take over Tucker Carlson's 8 p.m. primetime show slot, the network announced Monday.

The move comes more than two months after Fox abruptly fired its most popular host following a series of controversies that got executives worried about Carlson becoming too much of a liability.

Starting off Fox's primetime will be Laura Ingraham, whose show has been moved from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET.

Sean Hannity will stay on at 9 p.m. while comedian Greg Gutfeld's show will move from 11 p.m. to 10 p.m. News anchor Trace Gallagher will take over the 11 p.m. slot.

"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," Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement.

I predicted when Tucker Carlson was fired that Fox News would allow their new headline host to be more "based" in order to get ratings and was immediately proven right with Jesse Watters doing a segment saying the Mossad (or the CIA/"Russian intelligence") was behind Jeffrey Epstein.

I suspect Watters will start his show off strong with some spicy monologues before returning to equilibrium.

I haven't watched his show or any other on Fox News since Tucker was fired but looking at their YouTube channel all I see is hot garbage.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fox News is the network of transgender neocons.
