A trio of longtime executives have taken charge at CNN following the exit of Chris Licht. There's a moment in Tim Alberta's brutal profile of CNN's now-former CEO Chris Licht where Licht awkwardly takes a jab at his predecessor Jeff Zucker. The following Monday, as Licht attempted to quell growing calls for his ouster, Licht told CNN staff: "As I read that article, I found myself thinking, CNN is not about me. Jeff Zucker and Chris Licht at an event in 2019, back when Zucker still ran CNN and Licht was the showrunner on The Late Show on CBS. If Licht was seen as mismanaging CNN's top talent, Entelis, in particular, is known to be the queen of talent.

Angry staffers and low ratings have plagued CNN CEO Chris Licht's first year on the job. At a holiday party, Licht mostly kept to himself and read bad publicity about himself instead of interacting with his staff. That anecdote is from a revealing new profile about Licht in The Atlantic. CNN CEO Chris Licht has been on the job for just over a year. Later in the profile, Licht explained some of his views on diversity to Alberta.

Don Lemon announced he'd been fired by CNN on Monday and said he found out from his agent. CNN later said he'd been offered the chance to speak to management "but instead released a statement on Twitter." Forty-five minutes later, CNN tweeted a statement of its own that called Lemon's inaccurate. In its initial statement, CNN said Lemon "will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years." Lemon later apologized for the remarks.
