Jesse Watters Roasts Network’s Ads For Old People, Who ‘Will Be Watching Fox Until They Die’
Fox News host Jesse Watters mocked his network’s commercials targeted toward old people on Tuesday, before remarking that people would be “watching Fox until they die.”
Reacting on The Five to Cracker Barrel’s ill-fated rebrand attempt, Watters argued, “It’s like they tried to make it younger, but Cracker Barrel is for old people. It’s like trying to sell reverse mortgages to young people, or gold, or Relief Factor.”
Fox News contributor Tyrus replied, “Or MyPillow.”
“Or all the things we sell on Fox,” mocked Watters. “You just have to keep your audience happy with what they’re used to. That’s why people will be watching Fox until they die.”
Relief Factor, Rosland Capital gold, and Finance of America reverse mortgages are all frequently advertised on Fox News. Mike Lindell’s MyPillow also used to be a frequent advertiser on the network.
According to Nielsen, the median age for Fox News viewers is 69 years old.
Polls also show that the network is far more trusted among older Americans than younger, with 76% of Republicans aged 65 or older stating that they trust the network, versus just 41% of Republicans under 30.
Both former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) have recently thrown shade at the network’s “elderly” audience.
“Most of the people that watch Fox News are very much up in age, the Baby Boomer generation, who I love, those are my parents, but that’s their biggest audience,” observed Greene this month. “That’s not the future of America.”
