In October 2016, Jesse was criticized for a segment of Watters’ World that he filmed in New York City’s Chinatown.

In March 2017, Watters aired an interview with President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One.

The discussion focused on immigration policy, plans for tax reform, jobs, and the state of the economy.

The Five

Watters became a co-host of the roundtable series The Five in April 2017. The Five is a panel talk show on Fox News Channel. During the talk show, five commentators discuss current political issues. The format of the show is inspired by The View. 

Two days after joining The Five, Jesse was criticized for his comment on Ivanka Trump’s visit to Berlin. He said: ”I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone.” Watters later denied that his comment was sexual.

”During the break, we were commenting on Ivanka’s voice and how it was low and steady and resonates like a smooth jazz radio DJ,” Jesse said. The political commentator added: ”This was in no way a joke about anything else.”

From 2014 to 2019, Jesse appeared in 9 episodes of the talk show Outnumbered.

Noelle filed for divorce in October 2017, after learning that Watters had an affair with Emma DiGiovine.

Jesse actually admitted to cheating on Noelle with associate producer DiGiovine and notified his Human Resources department of the relationship. Later, Emma was transferred to work for The Ingraham Angle — a Fox talk show that features Laura Ingraham.
