It would be different, but don't need political commentary comedy, that's something that's already over done on Comedy Central, The Late Show, Late Night, Gutfield!, Even Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon do it a little bit too much now too.. Would hope they'd reintroduce a CNN I opt out hour again in that slot, if they go that way. I think I just did a long about way of saying they should just bring back a Larry King Live style show instead.
I don't hate the current graphics, hated the ones from before that from day one, did like the 2008 ones (though they didn't look good on CNNI, then again the 2006 CNN I look was great and could have still been used today)
This was my thought as well. I don't think I fully appreciated Larry King when he was around. He had such a broad appeal that he could lure a lot of guests and viewers into CNN even if they otherwise wouldn't normally care about the rest of the programming day. It seems like Chris Licht might want a show like that. The network could really benefit from having a marquee primetime show that could have the freedom to explore a wide variety of topics and interviews that aren't so tied down to politics. They just have to get the right host for it to work.
