Chris Licht, the producer who created “Morning Joe,” revamped “CBS This Morning” and revitalized “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” has been selected to run CNN once Discovery merges with WarnerMedia this spring, according to three sources with knowledge of the plan.

The parties involved have not yet commented on the anticipated appointment. But Licht’s hiring will be announced next week, one of the sources said.

Licht is currently the executive producer and showrunner of “The Late Show” and executive vice president of special programming at ViacomCBS, consulting on programming across the company.

Licht has more than two decades of television news experience. He has a reputation as a hands-on producer and talent manager with a keen interest in politics and news.

“Short Forest” conceptual continuity:

“Toads Of The Short Forest” on Weasels Ripped My Flesh

“It Just Might Be A One-Shot Deal” on Waka/Jawaka: And if a forest grows up from the dirt on the floor That the frog with the satchel had just dumped beside the door

Studio Tan - The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary:
“GREGGERY takes a bumpy trail off the main SHORT FOREST ROAD, which leads him up the side of a FAMOUS (and conveniently placed) MOUNTAIN, and into a strange cave on the edge of a cliff, not far from a LITTLE TWISTED TREE . . . with eyes on it”

“Meanwhile, the enraged HUNCHMEN (and HUNCH-WOMEN) rumble through the SHORT FOREST until (realizing the little swine has escaped), they decide to park their steaming vehicles in a circular pseudo-Wagon Train formation . . . and have a LOVE-IN!”

“Camarillo Brillo” on Over-Nite Sensation: “She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest / And every newt in Idaho”

Looks like Discovery is not serious about cleaning up the mess at CNN with this hire.

They just swapped a leftist freak with another leftist freak.

As expected. Who else would want that job other than a leftists freak?

Sanitation workers and prostitutes would turn it down as being too filthy.
