Watters takes a look back at his 'World' in his last show

'Jesse Watters Primetime' begins weeknights at 7 p.m. ET, starting Jan. 24.

Jesse Watters signed off on his final show of "Watters' World" Saturday night, thanking the audience and his fans. Watters will permanently host the 7 p.m. ET timeslot "Jesse Watters Primetime," scheduled to begin Jan. 24. 

JESSE WATTERS: On Monday, Fox announced that I'm going to be hosting the 7 p.m. hour called "Jesse Watters Primetime." I'm really excited for the opportunity and extremely grateful to get the shot. I'm still going to be co-hosting "The Five" — Greg couldn't live without me. But "Watters' World" is leaving Saturday nights. The new show at 8 p.m. will be announced in the near future. So tonight, this show will be the very last "Watters' World." If you've watched "Watters' World" from the beginning, as we transitioned from the factory to the studio, you know how much the show's grown and how much I've grown as a host and as a person. I'm not saying I put on weight, which I did for a while, but I lost it — and you'll notice that in some of the footage we're about to show you. What I'm saying is, my world has gotten a whole lot bigger. I spoke about this in my book, "How I Saved the World," which was number one. Thank you. But I really saved myself, and by doing so, made the world around me a better place. Everyone is the master of their own world. You're responsible for your own thoughts, happiness and success. Everything starts here. The power of positive thinking, big dreams, hard work and good habits will take you anywhere you want … that, and of course, a lot of love. And waking up really early in the morning doesn't hurt, either."

"What made this show possible in the beginning was one thing, "The Factor" sent me far and wide throughout the country to interview people from all walks of life and investigate what needed attention. During my travels, I formed an unbreakable connection with the people of this country. And of course, you the audience. This connection with the people is the most important element in my professional career. That's why when I did my book signings, I promised people they could touch me — just not the hair. You and I will always know and love each other. We're patriots and we protect each other. This, right here, is special, and everybody knows it. So before I start to cry, let's memorialize our weekend run together.

From presidents and politicians to singers and actors, we've interviewed a lot of people. We gave Trump a "Watters' World" quiz and he aced it. We pressed Fauci on China as coronavirus first spread around the world. We chatted with everyone from billionaires to business kids to big-time movie directors. Let's take a look back at some of the greatest moments.
