Former Fox News host Chris Wallace has landed a CNN primetime hosting gig a few weeks after his interview show on the doomed CNN+ app was canned. Wallace left Fox News in December after 18 years at the network to join the streaming service CNN+, on a reputed $12m-a-year deal.That was axed after just 22 days because of poor subscriber numbers.But Wallace, 74, is getting a second chance at the network this coming fall where he will host a primetime show on Sunday nights, CNN CEO Chris Licht announced at Warner Bros. Discovery upfronts on Wednesday

He may have landed on his feet but it's right in the middle of the ocean.

Somehow landing a position at CNN, the world's biggest collection of liars and perverts, does not sound like landing on one's feet.

Say to go Chrissy. From Fox's prime shows to the end hour of Sunday night at the worse and lowest ratings network on cable. Chissy's fall mirrors his idol Biden's economy.

Who is the fool who thinks Wallace is worth $12 million a year? Good. Grief.

I haven't watched CNN since 3 days after the Iraqi invasion started. Frankly, I don't know what channel it's on.

#5, with Bidenflation going through the ceiling, $12 million a year will net Wallace about 10 bucks a year in real value in the near future.

Here's hoping them as much success with Chrissy as CNN+ had. What was that classic definition of insanity again?

the communist party always supports party members even if they are superior level losers and the progeny of mike wallace is certainly one of them

I'm 72 years old. At some point, old people need to step aside and prepare for the biggest event in their lives. I don't understand the obsession of CNN with Wallace. He wasn't a good TV personality. I was once excited to get "cable" a decade or so ago in our rural town, to be able to watch Fox News. Then, I became dismayed by the nonsensical repetition and the propaganda stories. Watching and listening to political propagandists that populate the cable news networks is a waste of time.

Chris, you can have your own show on CNN, but we are cutting back, so you have to produce it yourself, film it yourself, edit yourself, and make your own coffee. By the way, your dressing room is an ex-FEMA trailer (we got a deal).

There is NO good position to be in at CNN. OK, they will pay him because they are contractually bound to do so. However, if he is looking for his ego fix, he is going to be wandering in the desert for the rest of his career. I will bet that for Chris, already worth about $25 million, the money is secondary.

CNN is able to pay Wallace 12 million dollars a year because they collect an enormous amount of money from the various cable systems to show CNN dreck, 24/7.

It will be like watching someone slip on a banana peal on an old comedy routine. We will be laughing at his fall.

At least now Mike will be able to chronicle the steady decline of America that helped bring about.

Landing on your feet? Having a prime time Sunday night show on CNN will have a guaranteed audience of maybe 100.

The only time I appears on any of my screens is when I am channel surfing or hit the wrong button. But, when I do happen upon it there is always something which may be descrided as "news or current events", however perverted, on display.
FOX " NEWS" is too often mindless and goofy entertainment.
BTW - Tucker, lose the stupid giggling and I will stop tuning you out.
