CNN’s new chairman says he wants to ‘try some things’ in Chris Cuomo’s old slot. Chris Licht, the new head of CNN global, told employees on Thursday that he planned to experiment at the crucial prime-time hour this summer.
Chris Cuomo is a television journalist anchor at NewsNation, based in New York City. He hosts Cuomo on NewsNation which debuted on October 3, 2022. Cuomo was previously best known as the former presenter of Cuomo Prime Time, a weeknight news analysis show on CNN.
He has previously been the ABC News chief law and justice correspondent and the co-anchor for ABC’s 20/20, and News anchor for Good Morning America from 2006 to 2009. Subsequently, he was one of two co-anchors of the weekday edition of New Day, a three-hour morning news show, until May 2018.
Cuomo is the brother of Andrew Cuomo, who was the 56th Governor of New York from 2011 to 2021, and the son of Mario Cuomo, who served as the 52nd Governor of New York from 1983 until 1994.
In November 2021, Cuomo was suspended indefinitely by CNN after reports that he assisted in the defense against the sexual harassment allegations that led to his brother’s resignation. He was fired by CNN the following month.
