Bill O’Reilly announced this week that he was reuniting with Jesse Watters, his protege when he worked at Fox News, on his upcoming tour dates for his “The Spin Stops Here Tour.” O’Reilly has said multiple times on his “No Spin News” podcast that Watters will be joining him on the tour, along with comedian Dennis Miller.

Tom Kludt reported that Fox is working with Watters’ contract to try to prevent him from appearing on the tour.

Watters was a frequent guest on “The O’Reilly Factor” while the two worked together at Fox News. O’Reilly has been promoting his tour throughout the week and mentioning Watters. But Kludt reported that on Thursday, O’Reilly didn’t mention Watters’ name on his podcast, saying, “Miller and I will make it worth your while.”
