CNN President Chris Licht confirmed Collins’ new role in a memo sent to staff Wednesday, announcing she will host the time slot regularly in June, The New York Times reported.
“In her new program, officially launching later this summer, Kaitlan will showcase why she’s one of the top reporters and interviewers in the game,” Licht wrote. “She is a smart and gifted journalist who we’ve all seen hold lawmakers and newsmakers accountable. She pushes politicians off their talking points, gets real answers—and as everyone who’s worked with her knows—breaks a lot of news.”
