Fox News host Jesse Watters has seemingly confessed he may have gone a little too far in one of his interviews this week.
The 48-year-old TV personality appeared on The Five on Tuesday, August 25, and discussed the wildest moment from his Monday interview with Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee for Michigan.
“Well, I guess everybody now knows I’m circumcised,” the conservative commentator joked. “You know, usually you look at the headlines, and if your headline is all about your penis, usually you’ve done something very wrong.” It comes after Watters took a break from the show to spend some time with his wife, Emma Watters
Nevertheless, Watters added, “In this case, I thought the interview was fine.” El-Sayed sat down with the conservative news host for what he joked would be a “wholesome conversation” on Watters’ show Monday night.
However, the roughly 25-minute interview escalated as the two argued about immigration, the war on Iran, transgender athletes, and Medicare.

However, it didn’t take long for their conversation to truly fly off the rails when Watters pressed El-Sayed, a doctor and former public health official, on gender-affirming care for minors.
“Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters probed. “I just think the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of health care you should have,” El-Sayed responded.
Watters pushed again, “So you think it’s OK for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” El-Sayed then flipped it back on him, asking, “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”
The Fox News host was then seemingly caught off guard, replying, “Yeah, but I mean, that’s a personal question, doctor.” Watters said that circumcision was “different than castration,” but El-Sayed maintained his stance.
“I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling,” the Michigan Democrat said, trying to point out how society already accepts parental medical decision-making involving a minor’s genitalia when it comes to circumcision.
Watters brushed off his guest’s comparison as “wacky” and said that “Michigan’s not going for that. That is sick stuff.” But the conservative news host said on The Five that he enjoyed his conversation with El-Sayed, calling him “compelling.”
However, viewers weren’t buying Watters’ remarks. In a clip of the moment shared on X, one user blasted, “Honestly, no one gives a f–k about Jesse’s circumcised k–b. Maga turds are obsessed with everyone’s genitalia. F–king freaks.”
“Explain to me how this idiot is still in the air??? Any other news outlet speaking like this would have already got him terminated??? With a face like this, only one can wonder why he hasn’t been fired or punched in it??? What a weird lowlife!!!” said another.
