CNN Gets Into Late-Night
Posted in: UncategorizedCNN is starting a late-night Friday talk show hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos next month, the network said today.
Mr. Stroumboulopoulos, a longtime host on Canada's CBC, was hired by CNN in April for a Friday interview show to begin this summer, but it wasn't clear what time slot he would take. Now "Stroumboulopoulos," as it will be called, is scheduled to begin on Sunday, June 9, following the season finale of Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown," before moving to its regular timeslot on Fridays at 11 p.m. on June 14.
"Parts Unknown" has done well for CNN, with new episodes averaging 740,000 viewers, according to Nielsen, far more than CNN had been attracting before Mr. Bourdain arrived.
