CNN To Produce Political Game Show Hosted By Anderson Cooper

[Little Star]

CNN has plans to produce a political game show which will be hosted by Anderson Cooper and will debut on President's Day, TVNewser reported Wednesday.

According to the website, testing of the show is occurring this week and if the program is successful, more episodes will be produced.

The show will likely take the form of a quiz style game show that, according to TVNewser, will focus on presidential politics, very fitting given its scheduled premiere date.

The conception of the show was revealed last month as part of the the Sony hacking revelations, the website said. CNN President Jeff Zucker had emailed a Sony TV executive to propose a "political Jeopardy" show.

1. I wonder if Steve Kornacki knows this...

I really enjoy his "Up Against the Clock" game when he plays it on his weekend show.

2. you mean like Steve Kornacki on UP?

or more like Rachel Maddow's thing she does on Friday nights?

Seems like cnn is again late to the show.

6. Anderson Cooper?

Out of all the newly graduated journalist students, CNN taps one of the most colorless, boring and stiff tv personalities to host the show.
His talkshow, suffered because he lacked warmth and personality. You can clearly see how out of his depth he is when he cohosts CNN's New Year's Eve show.
