Amidst the tumultuous winds of media speculation, Chris Cuomo, the former CNN anchor, finds himself at the center of a comeback storm, according to The NY Post.

.Let’s dissect the whispers and conjectures surrounding his potential return:

Previous Departure: In 2021, Chris Cuomo was CNN’s highest-rated prime-time star. However, he was dismissed by then-CEO Jeff Zucker after allegations that he provided assistance to his brother, then-Governor Andrew Cuomo, in handling sexual harassment accusations from former aides.

The $125 Million Demand: Following his ouster, Chris filed for arbitration, demanding a staggering $125 million from CNN as compensation for his exit. A hefty price tag indeed.

NewsNation Gig: Post-CNN, Chris found a new home at NewsNation.

CNN’s Struggle: Fast forward to the present. CNN, grappling with ratings challenges and the aftermath of high-profile departures, is exploring options. And guess who’s on their radar? None other than Chris Cuomo himself.

King Charles Canceled: The recent cancellation of the prime-time talk show “King Charles,” hosted by Charles Barkley and Gayle King, has left a void. CNN’s top brass is reportedly pulling their hair out, searching for a solution before the election fervor intensifies. They have Anderson Cooper, but they’re yearning for "another Chris.".
