CNN confirmed Friday that Michael Smerconish, who hosts a weekly program on the network each Saturday, will fill in for Chis Cuomo, anchoring CNN’s nightly 9 p.m ET slot. Cuomo was suspended this week after a new information shed new light on his involvement in his brother Andrew Cuomo’s response to sexual harassment claims.
Smerconish has filled in for Cuomo in the past. This week, the network has been airing a second hour of lead-in program Anderson Cooper 360 in the Cuomo Prime Time slot.
Smerconish came to CNN in 2014 from MSNBC. He also hosts The Michael Smerconish Program on SiriusXM. Hed also had a sting at Philadelphia's WPHT 1210 AM.
Cuomo addressed his suspension on his own SiriusXM Satellite Radio show earlier this week, saying in part, “The last thing I ever wanted to do was compromise any of my colleagues.”
