"Jesse Watters Primetime" launched last year and has since emerged as the fastest growing cable news program. Watters will continue to co-host "The Five," which has been the most-watched cable news program for seven-straight quarters.
With Watters’ fresh take on the major headlines of the day along with news-making interviews, "Jesse Watters Primetime" has been No. 1 in its timeslot for the 18 months. It has been the highest-rated 7 p.m. program in cable news history since it launched.

Bush, then-Vice President Dick Cheney, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Zimmerman, former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Reverend Jesse Jackson, as well as Sylvester Stallone, Roseanne Barr, Kim Kardashian, Mel Gibson, Michael Moore, Michael Phelps, Richard Petty, Charlie Daniels, Brad Paisley and most recently award-winning actor and director Sean Penn.
