Comic and impressionist Matt Friend mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters live on his own show Thursday.
Friend opened the interview with a sharp jab that invoked Watters’ famously disapproving mother. “Every night, millions of Americans invite you into their homes — if only your mother would do the same,” Friend quipped.
Anne Watters, a Democrat, has publicly criticized her son in the past, calling him out for “sweeping statements” and “disdain for diversity.” When he took over Tucker Carlson’s coveted 8 p.m. slot on Fox, she called in to warn him: “Do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes.”
And Watters claimed last year, following Donald Trump’s election victory, that his mother hadn’t invited him to Thanksgiving dinner, though it remains unclear how serious he was being.
During Thursday’s interview, Friend didn’t hold back.
