Jesse Watters is battling backlash after saying he wants to see some “eye candy” from president-elect Donald Trump‘s female cabinet picks. The Fox News host made the remark after The Five panel watched and discussed a video of Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s shirtless workout. In the video, Rfk Jr. is seen showing off his muscles as he does pull-ups and roll-over exercises to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” at Gold Gym’s in Venice, California. “Practicing moves for my confirmation hearing,” Rfk Jr. wrote alongside the video, which has amassed over 5 million views on X. “I just think it’s unfair that you had to get to see this and we don’t get to see any of the female members of the Cabinet,” Watters told his female co-hosts Dana Perino, Jessica Tarlov, and Jeanine Pirro, per The Daily Beast.

Six weeks after former Fox News host Eric Bolling‘s only child, 19-year-old Eric Chase Bolling, was found dead on Sept. 8, his cause of death has been revealed.

Fox News Channel’s slow dance with Laura Ingraham is now a tango since Fnc announced it had parted ways with Eric Bolling.

Another Fox News Channel scandal has resulted in another very public parting of ways: Eric Bolling is leaving the network, our sister site Variety reports.

In August, Bolling was accused of sending unsolicited pictures of male genitalia to at least two Fox News employees and one Fox Business Network staffer, all of whom were women. The channel hired the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, who investigated allegations against Bill O’Reilly prior to his ouster from Fnc, to look into the claims.

The New York Times’ bombshell report on Tuesday detailed that former FBI Director James Comey took detailed notes of a meeting with Trump that could result in an obstruction of justice charge against the president. “If I went out tomorrow on the street and I asked 10 people who James Comey was, I’d probably maybe get three, maybe four, who knew, depending on the neighborhood,” Watters said on “The Five” Tuesday night. “This is a scandal with no video,...

Both Fox News personalities Jesse Watters and Tucker Carlson appear to be taking President Trump’s lead, rhetorically twisting the University of California at Berkeley’s free speech legacy against the school.

On Tuesday, the co-host of The Five discussed Trump’s presence at the W20 Summit for women’s empowerment in Berlin, during which the president’s daughter was booed for her comments claiming Donald Trump “has been a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive.”

Watters first began by bashing the left for disrespecting Trump and Europeans for turning the panel into “a soccer match.

Fox News host Jesse Watters defended a recent comment about Ivanka Trump, but many people have taken to Twitter to accuse “The Five” co-host of making a sexist joke about the First Daughter. After footage of Ivanka speaking at an event in Germany, the former Bill O’Reilly protégé said on Tuesday night that he “really liked the way she was speaking into that microphone.” “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,” Watters said in a statement provided to TheWrap. “This was in no way.

Jesse Watters will have a permanent seat on Fox News as a co-host of “The Five” when the show moves to primetime. Watters’ recurring segment on “The O’Reilly Factor” involved sending the host out to various events and locations across the country for man-on-the-street style interviews that mock various cultural subgroups in their own communities. In a 2016 segment, Watters went after Italian Americans at the Feast of San Gennaro festival. One of Watters’ most controversial segments came in the form of a 2016 venture into New York’s Chinatown. In the heavily criticized piece, Watters turned his signature schtick on Chinese.
