This is why I’m in print media. No, actually, I could make as big an error in print, I just think it would be something that wouldn’t wreck a household.

Fox News anchor Jessie Watters had a bit of a day today, forgetting he was still mic’d up during the press conference. We won’t give Watters that much grief since the press conference lasted 22 hours and it is hard to keep one’s focus the better part of a day (2 hours feels like 22 when it is Trump speaking the entire time).

“Hey, baby,” Fox News host Jesse Watters could be heard saying on one of the streams. “We have the task force briefing.”

We aren’t going to give Watters a bad time because for all we know he might soon be getting a bad time from Mrs. Jessie “Emma” Watters, who – in 2017, replaced the former Mrs. Jessie Waters (Noelle Watters). The current Mrs. Jessie Watters (Emma DiGiovine), had been a 25-year-old producer on his show in 2017 when they hooked-up. Noelle divorced Jessie in 2018. When Jessie and Emma announced their relationship, Emma was moved to the Laura Ingraham show and Emma and Jessie married in 2019.

But it is now 2020, and all I know is that Jessie better have been talking to Emma, since the entire world now has a date/time stamp for a “baby” to whom Jessie was speaking at the time of the “task for briefing.”

Given that Jessie isn’t the greatest guy, not exactly a tall glass of water in my book, it wouldn’t break my heart if he was talking to his current new baby, and his old baby – Emma, found out over the internet.

This pandemic is making us all more cynical, too cynical. I don’t want trouble for either of them. It was probably just Emma, calling to say bring home some toilet paper from the Fox stockroom, and a few N-95 masks.

Peace, y’all
