While hosting his show during a new time slot, Fox News host Jesse Watters received some âsuggestionsâ from a caller.
The caller was his mom, Anne Watters, who warned him not to âfall into any conspiracy rabbit holesâ and suggested that he put a stop to promoting news that focuses on negative attention to President Joe Biden.
Wattersâ mom, a Democrat, called in during his first show in Tucker Carlsonâs old time slot.
âI want to say congratulations, honey bun,â Wattersâ mom said. âWe are so proud of you and your accomplishments and youâve worked so hard. Now letâs aim to have you keep your job.â

Anne Watters then announced she had some suggestions for him regarding his show.
âI do have some suggestions,â she began. âDo not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes. We do not want to lose you and we want no lawsuits,â she said, taking a jab at Carlson and Fox News.
Fox Newsparted ways with Carlson in April days after the network agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems, agreeing to pay them $787.5 million.
Though both Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems have denied Carlsonâs ousting from the network was part of the settlement, Dominion Voting Systems accused Carlson and a variety of people of spreading the conspiracy theories former President Donald Trump pushed about the rigged election, according to Mediaite.
âWe need you to be kind and respectful. You yourself mentioned that humble is a stretch so I get that,â Anne Watters added. âUse your voice responsibly to promote conversation that maintains a narrative thread. There really has been enough Biden bashing, and the laptop is old.â
Since Carlsonâs ousting from the network, Watters was suggested among many candidates to be a possible candidate to take over his 8 p.m. time slot, according to The Hill.
Anne Watters finished her advice by wishing her son âgood luckâ and reminding him that she loved him.
It was recently revealed that Carlson and former White House adviser and Daily Caller co-founder, Neil Patel, were partnering together to create a new media company with roots in Twitter.
