Scott Jennings may have a role at CBS News ahead of him thanks to the network's new editor-in-chief who was hired less than a month ago to rebrand the outlet.
Bari Weiss invited Jennings to the company's headquarters in New York City this week for a meeting, according to Semafor.
Jennings, 48, has made a name for himself among right-wing media consumers for his cut-throat debating on CNN as a part-time contributor.
The 41-year-old chief also met with Fox News anchor Bret Baier to discuss the potential of hosting the channel's flagship show.

Weiss, who was hired on October 6, met with Baier a week before her discussion with Jennings.
However, it appears unlikely a deal could be made with Baier, given that he is under contract with Fox News' evening broadcast until the end of 2028.
The possible moves come amid uncertainty, as Paramount, the parent company of CBS, is expected to make cuts in the next couple of days, according to Semafor.
Before any layoffs are made, co-anchor John Dickerson announced on Monday that he is leaving CBS.
