Jesse Watters fans took to social media to share their anger over the host's replacement on Monday night.
The Fox News host wasn't present for his show on July 20, though it's unclear where he was. Instead, conservative commentator Brian Kilmeade, who hosts his own Fox News Radio program The Brian Kilmeade Show, stepped in.
One viewer said they were expecting Watters after 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 comes as Fox News viewers slammed Watters for a vile 'rape' joke involving a controversial Pete Hegseth statement.

Another X user wrote, "Kilmeade is auto change to @RobFinnertyUSA on Newsmax."
To that, a third replied, "Can't stand Kilameade, and Spadea is on for Finnerty... can't stand him either."
One viewer joked that Watters should "watch your back" as Kilmeade may be coming for his job. "Brian @Kilmeade on "Primetime" tonight - watch your back @JesseBWatters!" they said.
Another happier fan said, "Look who's hosting for @JesseBWatters tonight? It's Mr Brian @kilmeade and he's LIVE NOW to all time zones!"
This isn't the first time Watters has missed his show. The host missed an episode earlier this month, telling viewers he was on assignment.
Watters recently came under fire for his comments on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's potential program to give testosterone injections to service members experiencing low levels of the hormone.
Jesse gleefully joked that the increase in testosterone would lead to some men acting like "wild animals."
"He says you lose your endurance, muscle mass," Watters repeated during the segment. "So yeah, I want these guys on it, but you know what's going to happen?"
He went on to suggest that troops who didn't require the treatment would still seek it out. "The guys that don't need it are going to take it. It's a triple boost, right?" Watters said.
The Fox News host then cautioned women on military bases and in countries visited by U.S. troops to "be careful." He said, "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 seemed to chuckle while making the statements, which viewers argued resembled a joke about American service members 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."
It comes after Jesse Watters was branded 'insane' after going on an unhinged rant live on Fox News.
