CNN has canceled "Connie Chung Tonight," which was launched last summer and has been criticized for its tabloid style.

The network offered host Connie Chung the opportunity to stay at the network in another capacity, but she declined, according to CNN spokesman Matt Furman.

This is the second show that new CNN President Jim Walton has canceled as he moves the network toward a more serious, hard-news tone. He also recently canceled "Talk Back Live."

"This is simply an effort to further distinguish ourselves in a crowded market," Furman said.

For now, Chung's 8 p.m. time slot will air Iraq war coverage anchored by Aaron Brown. The network has not named a permanent replacement for the time slot.

Who might replace Chung? Since MSNBC's already snatched up Jesse "the MIND" Ventura, it might not be too late for CNN to rival with Macho Man Randy Savage . . .

Who will replace Connie Chung?

A more significant question might be, "Who gives a $hit?"

[ClearCase_guy]

Michael Moore might be available.

If they can get Saddam healed up, I hear he might need a new job. He'd fit right in. There's Aldouri the combover guy at the UN too.

I really don't care for the CNN Point of view.

I stick with FOX

[ladtx]

Dare I say it? Bill Clinton.

You know this has been mentioned at least once behind CNN closed doors.

Who might replace Chung?

Answer: nobody. Being ignored is the worst insult.

Who will replace Connie Chung?

There's bound to be an unemployed potted plant somewhere interested in the job.

Maybe CNN could run a test pattern for the hour I am sure that would draw more viewers.

[Neets]

Yup...that's what I said when I read the title of the thread.

Michael Moore might be available.

He's already been canned by two networks - NBC and FOX.

[Fintan]

I, for one, would be thrilled if they filled her time slot with an hour of classic Warner Bros. Looney Toons.

Nobody, a good choice,

Some music to dine by would be an inprovement.
