Jesse Watters fans flocked to social media to voice their frustration over the host's replacement on Monday night.
The Fox News presenter was absent from his program on July 20, with no explanation given for his whereabouts. Conservative commentator Brian Kilmeade, who hosts his own Fox News Radio program The Brian Kilmeade Show, filled in instead.
One viewer mentioned they were anticipating Watters following the Laura Ingraham show. "When her show ended and Brian Kilmeade kicked off the 'Jesse Watters Prime Time' show with - you guessed it - more AOC, Mamdani and Hunter Biden, I changed the f---ing channel." This follows a Fox reporter suffering a massive on-air blunder, confusing two Middle Eastern countries.

Another X user posted, "Kilmeade is auto change to @RobFinnertyUSA on Newsmax," reports the Express US.
In response, a third commented, "Can't stand Kilameade, and Spadea is on for Finnerty... can't stand him either."
One viewer jokingly suggested Watters should "watch your back" as Kilmeade might be eyeing his position. "Brian @Kilmeade on "Primetime" tonight - watch your back @JesseBWatters!" they posted.
Another more enthusiastic fan remarked, "Look who's hosting for @JesseBWatters tonight? It's Mr Brian @kilmeade and he's LIVE NOW to all time zones!"
This marks another instance of Watters missing his broadcast. The host was previously absent earlier this month, and he was replaced by Charlie Hurt.
Watters recently faced backlash for his remarks regarding Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's proposed initiative to provide testosterone injections to service members with low hormone levels.
Jesse suggested that elevated testosterone would cause some men to behave like "wild animals.
"He says you lose your endurance, muscle mass," Watters reiterated during the segment. "So yeah, I want these guys on it, but you know what's going to happen?"
He continued by implying that troops not needing the treatment would still pursue it. "The guys that don't need it are going to take it. It's a triple boost, right?" Watters stated.
The Fox News presenter then warned women on military installations and in nations hosting U.S. forces to "be careful."
He remarked, "And then they're going to get out there and women on base, you guys better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful because these guys are going to be wild animals, and you better watch out."
Watters appeared to laugh while delivering these comments, which some audiences interpreted as a joke about American military personnel potentially committing rape or sexual assault against women.
"So he's really going to laugh about possible rape in the military and overseas by servicemen," journalist Marty Golingan wrote on X. "There is no bottom for this s--t stain."
