Watters gets the Carlson slot. No reduction in racist fearmongering or Trump adulation at 8pm then. https://t.co/HtwMUUKu6c

Drudge was semi-accurate about Fox News' primetime changes — Hannity keeps his original time slot while Jesse Watters moves into Tucker's old spot and Greg Gutfeld shifts to 10 pm.

Laura Ingraham, meanwhile, pulled out of primetime and into the 7 pm slot. https://t.co/IpDD5RaG2z

Fox News makes some changes. Jesse Watters gets Tucker's old timeslot and Laura Ingraham gets Jesse's space. An increasingly successful Gutfield moves to 10 p.m. Watters seems like kind of a lightweight to become the face of Fox News – wonder if this raises Hannity's status? https://t.co/dDZdg2zl6h

It’s all about the younger demographic. Tucker he ain’t. https://t.co/Od4JXsEaXU

In showbiz terms, this is basically a reboot of "The O'Reilly Factor." https://t.co/hhUxtdFFW1

Gutfeld no longer being a late night show will change how its judged… just ask Jay Leno how that went https://t.co/zJUZxWGZr7

Did I think that Jesse Watters frat boy schtick would prevent him from getting Tucker's slot? I did not! Actually, it was his greatest asset. https://t.co/cVfoF8OOJ3 https://t.co/M3ABv19DUG
