“She is a smart and gifted journalist who we’ve all seen hold lawmakers and newsmakers accountable,”CNN boss Chris Licht said of Kaitlan Collins.
Collins, the moderator of CNN’s much-criticized town hall with former President Donald Trump last week, had been rumored to be the frontrunner for the prized nightly anchor chair.
“Kaitlan will begin anchoring the 9 pm regularly in June. In her new program, officially launching later this summer, Kaitlan will showcase why she’s one of the top reporters and interviewers in the game,” Licht said in his memo. Collins has been among the rotating hosts to fill the 9 p.m. hour since the network fired Cuomo in December 2021.
