- CNN is considering Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, and Bill Maher among other big names to host a “nontraditional” primetime show, according to a report from Semafor.
- A “potentially more realistic prospect,” according to Tani, is Maher, since he’s “already in-house” at CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery with his HBO show,” according to Mediaite.
- CNN has had two high profile departures in primetime, with Chris Cuomo leaving the network in a cloud of scandal, and Don Lemon demoted to a co-host of CNN This Morning.
