Fox News Tonight is an American TV show that aired on the Fox News Channel from April 24, 2023 – July 14, 2023. It was the successor to Tucker Carlson Tonight after host Tucker Carlson was let go over the weekend of April 22–23, 2023. The program ended its run after it was announced that Jesse Watters Primetime would be the permanent show in the 8 p.m. slot.[2]

History

Fox News Tonight replaced Tucker Carlson Tonight in the 8pm timeslot on the Fox News Channel in 2023, premiering on April 24. Tucker Carlson had previously replaced Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor in 2017 in the same timeslot.[3][4]

At the start as an interim measure, a rotating cast of hosts will host the show, rotating each week. For the week of April 24, the host was Brian Kilmeade.[4] Following the loss Tucker Carlson, the show lost viewership compared to its predecessor, falling 50%, but still won its timeslot in its first week, as compared to competing news programming on competitor news networks CNN, Newsmax, OAN; closely edging out MSNBC in the ratings.[5]

In June 2023, Fox News Channel announced Jesse Watters Primetime would be permanent in the 8 p.m. EST hour effective July 17.[6]
