30 y/o Kaitlan Collins gets new CNN morning show, co-hosting with Don Lemon

What a quick ascent for this elbowy gal. Seems like just yesterday she was writing right wing clickbait for the Daily Caller (then later they scrubbed much of her bylines). Kudos to her!

Who's the favorite to land his old 10pm chair is the question.

Age gap slightly gross

Never stumbles.

It seems strange that it's considered a demotion to get moved to the morning show. It's still a high profile job.

I wonder what will happen to John Berman and Brianna Keilar.

That 10pm time slot sucked.

Don Lemon is pretty funny and charismatic when he's not doing "serious journalism," so I think a morning show will actually be a more natural fit for Lemon's persona.

Don will be the Funny Man, Kaitlin will be the Straight Man. I can see it working!

So much for working your way up through the ranks

She probably tests really well with young viewers and moderate/conservative viewers from the South. CNN is trying to eat into Fox market share.

I doubt she tests well with Southern conservative viewers.

I thought Don Lemon was pretty insufferable until I saw him cover the Queen’s funeral. Maybe it was jet lag but he seemed less overbearing. He listened to Brits and acknowledged that he knew about the monarchy and seemed grateful for what he was learning

Richard Quest really helped him look good by feeding info to him. You could never imagine that Richard Quest dressed in drag for Andersen Cooper’s New Year’s Eve show.

CNN moving away from talk show to more news shows. EVERY evening talk show on CNN cover red the exact same political issues! Redundant! Hoping they go more towards a news hour covering more areas. I suspect the morning show will be like network morning shows X little news, lots of celebrity coverage, cooking, etc. Boring.

Getting jobs is so easy for right wingers. Say one normal thing and everyone is falling all over you. I wonder how Don Lemon feels about her homophobic tweets

so she's no longer the Chief WH Correspondent? Seems weird to move from that role to the morning slot, but I'm sure the morning show will catapult her to other morning time slots on other networks...
