One of the primary shows on the now extinct CNN+ platform was “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” hosted by anchor Chris Wallace.
So when Warner Bros. Discovery decided to pull the plug, many wondered where the veteran anchor would land. The company has announced that the show will be moving to the HBO Max, and featured interviews will air on CNN this fall.
“Part of the CNN brand is respectful, authentic and impactful interviews and one of the best interviewers in the business is Chris Wallace,” said Chris Licht, Chairman and CEO of CNN Worldwide.
“Chris and his team developed an engaging and compelling program that we’re excited to bring to HBO Max and include in our CNN Sunday evening programming.”
Since its debut, Wallace has had many guests, including former CEO of The Walt Disney Company Bob Iger, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, author of the 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones, actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, and many more.
Wallace will remain as an anchor for CNN after joining the cable news channel in January 2022, following an 18-year stint with Fox News, where he was the anchor of FOX News Sunday.
