CNN+ is launching this spring, and the company’s streaming platform continues to add content. The latest to come aboard is Cari Champion and Jemele Hill, who frequent CNN as a guest, and spent a good portion of their career at ESPN.
In their new show called “Cari & Jemele: Speak.Easy.”, Champion and Hill will co-host a weekly program that will cover sports, culture, entertainment, and politics.
“I’m so thrilled to join CNN+. The beauty and authenticity of my friendship with Jemele has always been at the heart of our creative partnership,” Champion said. “I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the CNN family and share our brand of ‘speakeasy’ with the world.”
“I believe the old adage is that if you work with one of your best friends, then you’ll never work a day in your life,” Hill said. “While I made that up, there’s a certain magic that happens when Cari and I collaborate together. The CNN family is a perfect partner for us because they understand our chemistry and appreciate that our boldness is our strength.”
This isn’t the first time Champion, and Hill have worked together hosting a show as the pair had a show on Vice TV called “Cari and Jemele (Won’t) Stick to Sports.”
