BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhuanet) — Eliot Spitzer, the ex-New York governor who resigned?two years ago?following a prostitution scandal, will co-host a new 8 p.m. show with conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, CNN announced Wednesday.
\”Other cable news channels force-feed viewers one narrow, predictable point of view; in contrast, CNN will be offering a lively roundup of all the best ideas — presented by two of the most intelligent and outspoken figures in the country,\” CNN President Jon Klein said in making the announcement Wednesday.
The new show will replace one hosted by Campbell Brown at 8 p.m. EDT,?and line up?against Bill O\’Reilly at Fox News Channel and Keith Olbermann at MSNBC.
\”We respect all of the other shows out there, but we want to be different — a bit more upbeat, affirmative, funny and also informative,\” Spitzer said of the new show.
Eliot Spitzer?has emerged publicly in the past few months following his resignation in March 2008, slowly becoming a go-to guest at cable news programs.
Earlier this month he was guest host of an afternoon hour on MSNBC for a week.
