Cuomo Eyed for CBS Mornings Co-Host Role
25 Aug
Summary
- CBS News editor-in-chief is reportedly interested in Chris Cuomo.
- Cuomo is currently under contract with NewsNation until at least late 2025.
- He was previously fired from CNN in 2021 over helping his brother.
CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing Chris Cuomo to the network. According to new reports, Weiss is keen on a potential role for Cuomo, describing him as a "skilled broadcaster." The two have reportedly been in regular communication.
Cuomo's career includes a stint co-hosting CNN's "New Day" from 2013 and later hosting "Cuomo Prime Time" until his 2021 termination. He was dismissed following allegations of assisting his brother, then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, with responses to sexual harassment claims.
He joined NewsNation in 2022, hosting a prime-time show and a podcast. Cuomo signed a multi-year contract extension with NewsNation in December 2024, indicating he plans to stay with the network.
Speculation suggests Cuomo might be considered for the co-host position on "CBS Mornings," which is seeking a replacement. However, his current contract status with NewsNation makes any immediate transition to CBS appear improbable. Neither CBS News nor Cuomo has officially commented on the reports.
