The Hill’s Joe Concha noted Licht’s resume and is a bit skeptical about an Axios report that says CNN will now “dial down the primetime partisanship”:
Chris Licht will take Jeff Zucker’s place as CNN’s president. And if you believe that the former executive producer of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and MSNBC’s Morning Joe is going to steer the network away from prime-time partisanship given that track record… OK then. https://t.co/5D2PyOHtQp

So at least Licht is staying in the field of left-leaning comedy.
