NN announced Wednesday that Kaitlan Collins will serve as the network's anchor of a new 9pm show.
The big picture: Collins, 31, who moderated the recent contentious town hall with former President Trump, has ascended quickly at CNN. She previously served as the network's chief White House correspondent, the youngest person to hold the role, and most recently co-hosted "CNN This Morning."
Driving the news: Collins will begin anchoring the 9pm hour in June, CNN chairman Chris Licht wrote in a memo to staff Wednesday. The new program is set to officially launch later this summer.
- "She is a smart and gifted journalist who we've all seen hold lawmakers and newsmakers accountable," Licht wrote.
- "Kaitlan will expose uncovered angles and challenge conventional wisdom to make sure viewers are seeing a story from every side," he added.
- The 9pm hour at CNN has been largely unfilled since former anchor Chris Cuomo was fired in December 2021 after a probe into his involvement in managing his brother former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's sexual harassment scandal.
Zoom out: Collins will depart from CNN This Morning, which will be led by Poppy Harlow and a rotation of CNN guest anchors, Licht wrote.
- Collins started her career as a reporter at The Daily Caller, where she was promoted to serve as the White House correspondent covering the Trump administration.

What a laugh. Just mere days after Trump pwned her and CNN; they give this gal a prime time slot.

What cnn is really doing is doubling down like libs always do........a complete disaster and they claim it was a win......they really do live in an alternate reality.

She is certainly qualified for the job. She is good looking, she reads well, and has the ability to lie smoothly and convincingly.

Kaitlan needs to get a lot more Trump interviews and townhalls, and she’d beat all of the FOX primetime hosts.
Something like 1/2 hour each night on her new 9PM show.
Zoom!!! Right to the top of her station and to the top of cable news.
What about it, CNN? You’d get the most ratings ever.

A prime example of the Peter Principal.
I wonder if she will retain that ugly ass smirk for the whole hour.

Really? I don’t find her attractive at all. Those weird thin lips, with the strange curling at the edges. I couldn’t stand to look at her for long.

It’s the equivalent of hiring a teenager loitering around the Galleria mall in Glendale California.
Like for sure, valley girl. Gag me with a spoon.
