CNN honchos have been busy putting together a list of potential Piers Morgan replacements to host a nightly chat show much like his failed one, and Confidenti@l has learned which names are being tossed around.

“Rosie O’Donnell is at the top; the rest are Joy Behar, Ann Curry, Anthony Bourdain, David Muir, Star Jones, Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow,” one person with knowledge of the list tells us. “Most of the people that are being considered are ones that either create news, are going to make news or have rated really high on television in the past.”

“... ones that either create news, are going to make news or have rated really high on television in the past.”

*ROFL* Rating “really high” on CNN would be like a 7-8% market share.....*LOL*

The way to ramp up ratings on a show with an arrogant obnoxious anti American socialist foreign white male is to replace him with a female arrogant obnoxious anti American socialist female of color or a lesbian.
That will bring them in by the barrel full at least until Zucker’s girl Katie is available.

Notice how many openly gay people are on the list? My bet is that will be the decider. The gay agenda is the darling of the MSM.

CNN should just stop beating around the bush and offer the timeslot to White House Spokesman Jay Carney.

If they actually wanted to dramatically increase their ratings in the time slot they would pick a sensible and brilliant conservative....I suggest Daniel Greenfield :-)

Of course, they would not do such a thing...not even if it came with a guarantee that they would become number one in the ratings and pull down an insane amount of new ad revenue.

Well Piers can get a job hawking merchandise on one of the home shopping networks. Those Brits sell a lot of inferior and unnecessary products. I think he has the experience for that.

First time I’ve seen that photo of Rosie, she really looks happy and healthy.

They must really hate their shareholders with a list like that.

I suppose they think these folks will help their bottom line. Unfortunately, the majority of the US public—including the age demographic that watches political talk shows— really doesn’t want to see/hear far left spokespeople.

I’m sensing a new realty series. Rosie gets her gun range on at various ranges around the country.

Rosie shares safety, purchasing and shooting tips with range masters around the country.

They could use “The Five” format and call it “The Eight” or “The Nine” accordingly. Then they wouldn’t have to choose between liberal idiots and they could have a revolving panel to include all of them!

LOL You've got a brilliant idea there MomofMareine... This thread now has an official winnah!!!

It’s amazing to see how determined the networks are to figure out a way to keep Rosie O’Donnell on TV, some on the left are pushed forward, no matter what the cost or business sense.

Oh no, poorly worded. I never watch CNN and adding Rosie won’t change a thing.

CNN isn’t interested in ratings, apparently.
