Jesse Watters has been hosting the 8 PM ET timeslot for Fox News for less than a year. But 77 WABC host Sid Rosenberg believes he’s as great as his predecessors.
While promoting his book Get It Together: Troubling Tales from the Liberal Fringe, which released Tuesday, Watters appeared on Sid and Friends in the Morning on 77 WABC.
Before their discussion, Rosenberg shared his opinion that Watters is already one of the top hosts in cable news and is in line with others who held his timeslot.
“I don’t believe anybody in all of cable news gets bigger ratings than Jesse Watters,” said Rosenberg. “He is taking that eight o’clock slot, which was once held by all-time greats like Bill O’Reilly and Tucker Carlson, and he’s the next great one.
“He gets the biggest ratings of any network all day, eight o’clock every night because he’s got great a show. He’s great. He has me on. That’s his best show, of course,” he joked. “The show is great no matter what he’s got on.”
Watters got his start with Fox News working with Rosenberg’s friend and colleague Bill O’Reilly. The 77 WABC host is a regular guest on the cable channel.
