He frequently appears on the O'Reilly Factor and is known for his "On-The-Street" interviews, a segment on the show called "Watters' World".

On June 11, 2014, Watters debuted on the Fox News show, Outnumbered. He occasionally appears as a guest co-host.
On November 20, 2015, Jesse Watters debuted his own monthly program, "Watters' World", on Fox News Channel.[4] Although Watters has historically been described as an "ambush journalist",[1][5][6] Watters has said "I try to make it enjoyable for the person I'm interviewing. We always come away from the interview all smiles, for the most part. And it's always fun to come back and look at the footage and say, 'Oh my gosh, what just happened?'"[7]
