After his first appearance, Watters’ World made him well-known. First, he was on the TV show Outnumbered in 2014. Then, in 2015, Watters’ World got its show.

The show used to be on once a month, but as it got more popular, it switched to once a week in 2017. It aired on Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

The same year, he started appearing on the talk show “The Five.” Most of the time, he talks about politics and popular culture.

Jesse published How I Saved the World in July 2021. The memoir was the number one nonfiction book on the New York Times bestseller list when it preferably came out. But, on the other hand, Watters’ career wasn’t always a success.

Controversies

He has been called out for making a lot of wrong, offensive, and racist comments throughout his career. For example, early in 2017, he was wrong when he said that Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta, gave a hacker his password. He also agreed with Donald Trump’s plan to separate kids from their families.

In 2009, when journalist Amanda Terkel was on vacation while working for “The O’Reilly Factor,” he and his cameraman attacked her. Seven years later, Ryan Grim from the Huffington Post called Watters and begged him to say sorry. Instead, Watters took Grim’s phone and threw it to the ground, which made the two of them fight.

In 2016, Watters’ show “Watters’ World” got more criticism after he recorded racist conversations with Asian Americans. As the song “Kung Fu Fighting” played in the background, he asked Chinese Americans how much they knew about karate and if they were wearing stolen watches. The mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, and several other officials and reporters said the piece was ugly and racist.

Watters got more criticism in the summer of 2020 because he supported the right-wing conspiracy group QAnon.
