Fox News has settled on its new primetime lineup, promoting Jesse Watters to the 8 p.m. slot vacated by the abrupt firing of Tucker Carlson, pushing the “Gutfeld!” late-night juggernaut an hour earlier to 10 p.m. and putting Trace Gallagher to the 11 p.m. hour, the network announced Monday.
Also on the movie is Laura Ingraham, whose “Ingraham Angle” has solidly won the 10 p.m. spot since its 2017 debut, with a shift to 7 p.m. to kick off the weeknight primetime lineup, taking over Watters’ most recent start time. Fox did not announce who might take over the midnight hour that Gallagher will be vacating.
“Fox News Channel has been America’s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said. “The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will...

Fox News’ Jesse Watters is having a busy week, displaying all the talent that has led him to being the host of “Jesse Watters Primetime” and chief instigator on “The Five.”
Here’s a quick list. (1) He pissed on helping the homeless: “You can’t subsidize antisocial behavior you have to stigmatize it. These are people that have failed in life and they’re on their deathbed.” 2. He casually explained that Donald Trump was just “sifting through [documents] and determining which were personal and which were presidential.” 3. He compared not letting Rfk Jr. come on his show to making a girl beg for a date. 4. He misidentified “The Five” panel member Jessica Tarlov as “Katie.” 5. In another episode, Watters cut off Tarlov, aka Katie, and threatened to “smack” her with his copies of the Presidential Records Act.
This kind of behavior is not out of character for Watters, who said last...

As Fox holds auditions for its recently vacated 8 p.m. timeslot, some hosts are pulling out all the stops to show the network that they are a worthy successor to former primetime racist Tucker Carlson. On Tuesday afternoon, host Jesse Watters, appearing on The Five, claimed that he could “just tell” if a person was an undocumented migrant.
“I saw, on the way into work, an illegal immigration family digging through the trash, looking for recyclables,” Watters said.
“How did you know they were illegal?” interjected co-host Jessica Tarlov.

To prepare for a role, Margot Robbie tells Variety for this week’s cover story, she dives deep into research. In the case of her “Bombshell” character, Kayla Pospisil — a fictional composite created by screenwriter Charles Randolph — Robbie worked on Kayla’s Florida accent, studied the Fox News programs she would have watched, and created a Twitter account to follow the social media antics of conservative millennial women. She worked with an acting coach to trace Kayla’s emotional journey, and a movement coach to create her physicality. It all paid off: Robbie is nominated in the supporting actress category at Sunday’s Golden Globes, as well as for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Yet Kayla was a puzzle to Robbie. More than anything else about her, Robbie tried to understand the character’s fluid sexuality so she could credibly communicate the line “Oh,...

Bill O'Reilly, the former host of The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, was apparently so dogged by accusations of sexual harassment that he had a protection clause written into his old contract with the network. Because of the clause, Fox News couldn't fire O'Reilly for the many sexual harassment claims against him. That is, they couldn't fire him until his contract expired, which is what they did.
Via The Hollywood Reporter.
According to 21st Century Fox independent director Jacques Nasser, Bill O'Reilly had a clause in his old employment agreement with Fox News that stated he could not be dismissed on the basis of harassment allegations unless those allegations were proven in court. The revelation may help explain why O'Reilly survived so long at the cable news channel despite many settlements including...

When movie producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of multiple counts of sexual harassment and assault, the conservative Fox News network spent plenty of time calling him all kinds of extremely vicious names. But when its own Bill O'Reilly, host of the Fox's The O'Reilly Factor, was accused of very similar behavior, the network offered him a lucrative contract extension. Only after O'Reilly's behavior became public knowledge did Fox scale back its relationship with him, and even then, O'Reilly has been welcomed back on Fox News. It's pretty blatant hypocrisy, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah couldn't let it go unnoticed.

Today host Matt Lauer sat down with Bill O'Reilly this morning to talk about O'Reilly's sexual harassment allegations. O'Reilly, the former host of the Fox News show The O'Reilly Factor, was fired from the network in April. During the interview, Lauer asked O'Reilly what reasoning he or his representatives were given for the termination. "There was no reason," O'Reilly said. "They had a contractual clause that they could pay me a certain amount of money and not put me on air, and they exercised that clause." When asked why the company decided to exercise that clause, O'Reilly said a "sponsored boycott" set up by "the radical left group" Media...

The former Fox News host released a free edition of his new podcast, No Spin News, on his self-titled website Monday and took to the show with a brief message to his followers. "I am sad that I'm not on television anymore," he began. As is common knowledge by now, the network announced last Wednesday that the 67-year-old political commentator would not return to his post on The O'Reilly Factor after a New York Times report publicized sexual harassment allegations against the anchor.

Following the news, as many as 90 advertisers pulled their commercials from The O'Reilly Factor.

Given the state of the world in 2017, it's almost unbelievable that this week marked only the seventh episode of Saturday Night Live this calendar year. Whatever momentum and ratings that it has gathered in that time, it's still constantly playing catch-up with its schedule as is. As popular as it's been (and ratings suggest it's insanely popular right now), it's still been hamstrung by the paucity of new episodes. That makes every one that it does that much more important.

As the likelihood of Bill O'Reilly addressing his current scandal on-air appears to dwindle, so did his Wednesday showing in the key news demo.

Maddow, fresh off of key wins in March, outperformed O'Reilly by 8 percent on Wednesday night. She averaged 607,000 adults 25-54 to his 561,000.
O'Reilly, naturally, scored a bigger audience. He averaged 3.6 million viewers. And while the nightly win marked gains from the previous Wednesday, it ranks as his least-watched and lowest-rated telecast of the week, albeit marginally.

Donald Trump is playing right into Hillary Clinton's hands by keeping the Alicia Machado story alive, political experts tell People. During Monday night's presidential debate, Clinton held up Trump's past criticism of the former Miss Universe's weight as proof of his sexism and disrespect toward women over the years. Trump breathed new bluster into the issue the following day when he appeared on Fox and Friends and once again shamed Machado for gaining "a massive amount of weight" after she won the Miss Universe contest in 1996. "It was a real problem," he insisted. Ironically, Trump wasn't even asked about Machado in the interview.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is nothing if not amazing, and on Tuesday night's The O'Reilly Factor, the real estate mogul truly put to the test everyone in America's ability to even. In a discussion of the black experience with noted expert Bill O'Reilly, Trump drew parallels between his own experience as a candidate for president and the type of injustices that many black Americans still go through.

Bill O'Reilly, host of Fox talk program The O'Reilly Factor, critiqued the government's response to the Orlando shootings on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night. He agreed with Colbert that Donald Trump's response to the tragedy was self-congratulatory (or, as Colbert pointed out: complete grandstanding).
"Trump is betting that the United States wants an avenger," O'Reilly said. "He's making a political tool out of a terror attack ... bringing a robust 'I'm gonna get these guys' [mentality]." While Clinton's response was more nuanced, he said.

Los Angeles Police Protective League president Craig Lally voiced his union's support of the boycott initiated by the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Association after the filmmaker's remarks slamming "murdering cops."

Bill O'Reilly blasted Quentin Tarantino Monday on The O'Reilly Factor after the director appeared Saturday at a rally against police brutality. O'Reilly's comments come after the NYPD officers' union chief called for a boycott of Tarantino's films for speaking at the RiseUpOctober rally, which had the "unfortunate timing" of taking place in the wake of an NYPD officer that was killed in the line of duty.
In the Talking Points Memo segment, O'Reilly showed a clip of Tarantino talking about Michael Brown at the rally, with the host disagreeing with Tarantino's version of the incident.

In July, Hayes may have gotten a last minute reprieve when his ratings-challenged primetime program nabbed that cable news network’s only two nominations for a News & Docu Emmy (the second nom went to the show’s All In America: A New Frontier In Women’s Healthcare).
That morning’s noms announcement had come on the eve of what sources were describing as an all-hands-on-deck town hall meeting with staffers called by Andy Lack, Chairman of NBC News and MSNBC.

Bill O'Reilly tried to rationalize the message of Republican presidential hopeful — and frequent baseball game buddy — Donald Trump, and suggested the mogul's chances of making it to November 2016 were slim during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday.
O'Reilly, who's set to host Trump again on his Fox News show, The O'Reilly Factor, this Thursday, quipped, "I have him on regularly, I've known him for 30 years. We actually go to sporting events, Yankee games, Knicks games, together — he always pays."

On Thursday, Jon Stewart will step out of The Daily Show's anchor seat for the last time. With 16 years as host under his belt, Stewart has interviewed a plethora of veritable legends, leaders and icons. Some, like Louis C.K. (who will be Stewart's final guest of the series), joined him in the New York City Comedy Central studios numerous times. Others, like Henry Kissinger, made single (but unforgettable) appearances on the show.
As his final day approaches, we rounded up the most memorable interview from Stewart's tenure as Daily Show host.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes host may have gotten a last minute reprieve with this morning’s news his ratings-anemic primetime program, All In With Chris Hayes had received that cable news network’s only nominations for the 36th edition of the News & Docu Emmy Awards. This morning’s noms announcement comes on the eve of what one source has called an all-hands-on-deck town hall meeting with staffers called by new-ish Chairman of NBC News and MSNBC, Andy Lack, at which it has been forecast/feared initial steps to an MSNBC overhaul will be introduced, as Lack looks to pull that network out of the ratings cellar.
Hayes’ show has been mentioned in many quarters as being vulnerable; in Q2 it clocked 540,000 total viewers, a 12% drop compared to same time last year, and 107,000 news-demo viewers, a drop of 20% and MSNBC’s lowest performing primetime show in the demo for the quarter.
