ABC's Connie Chung will jump to CNN to anchor a prime time show, CNN executives are expected to announce Wednesday.

The move gives CNN perhaps its biggest name at exactly the time it needs to plug a hole left by the departure of Greta Van Susteren. More details coming.

IMO, Greta Van Susteren is the hole.

In a related story, Chung announced that she plans to divorce her husband, schlock TV host Maury Povich, to marry CNN's Larry (Zeiger) King, after which she will be known as Connie Chung-King.

At least Fox didn't hire her!

[leadpenny]

Chung was at ABC? Why aren't I told about these things?

[boomop1]

I guess this is her last chance, at something.

[DrNo]

At least Fox didn't hire her!

Amen!

Hey, you didn't copy that from another poster, did you!? ;^)

[silmaril]

Just referring to the infamous Zahn commercial, is all.

I'm also reminded of the Simpsons where Patty and Selma are reminding Marge of all the terrible gifts that Homer has given her.

"Remember the tackle box?"
"Remember when he 'surprised' you with the Connie Chung calendar?"

So will CNN do a Chung commercial to the sound of a paper bag?

Is there a polite way to say, "gag a maggot?"
