Jesse Bailey Watters was born on July 9, 1978, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is the son of Stephen Watters and Anne Purvis Watters. His parents moved from Germantown to East Falls when Jesse was a child, where he attended school until his junior year.

When his parents relocated to Long Island, NY, Jesse attended William Penn Charter School until he was seventeen years old.

Career

After graduating from college, Jesse began working for Fox News as a production assistant. The O’Reilly Factor hired him as a production assistant in 2003.

Watters’ World segment made him famous after his first appearance. In 2014 he was featured on Outnumbered. Watters’ World got its own show in 2015.

How I Saved the World was published by Jesse in July 2024. As of its debut, the memoir topped the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. Meanwhile, Watters’ professional life was not always successful.

Controversies

He has been criticized for a slew of incorrect, provocative, and racist remarks throughout his career. In early 2017, he incorrectly stated that Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta provided his password to a hacker. In addition, he expressed support for Donald Trump’s policy of separating children from their families.

He and his cameraman also assaulted journalist Amanda Terkel in 2009 while she was on vacation while working for “The O’Reilly Factor.” Seven years later, Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim contacted Watters and pleaded for him to apologize. The two got into a scuffle after Watters snatched Grim’s phone and threw it to the ground.

More backlash came in 2016 after Watters recorded bigoted conversations with Asian Americans for his show “Watters’ World.” He asked Chinese Americans about their knowledge of karate and whether they were wearing stolen watches as the song “Kung Fu Fighting” played in the background. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, along with several other officials and journalists, criticized the piece as ugly and racist.

It was Watters’ support for the right-wing conspiracy group QAnon that caused him to draw more criticism in the summer of 2020.
