CNN's Jeff Zucker steps down as president after admitting relationship with a colleague – an entanglement that came to light during a probe of now-fired anchor Chris Cuomo
A memo to employees from Jason Kilar, CEO of CNN parent WarnerMedia, said three senior executives at CNN would run the network on an interim basis.
In the following decade, he ran NBC's entertainment division, where he was instrumental in putting the reality show "The Apprentice" starring Donald Trump on the air.In a statement, Zucker said he wished that his tenure at CNN had ended differently but, "it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute."Gollust, a former publicist who rose to the rank of CNN's executive vice president and chief marketing officer, is staying at the network.
"Recently, our relationship changed during Covid. I regret that we didn't disclose it at the right time. I'm incredibly proud of my time at CNN and look forward to continuing the great work we do every day." Chris Cuomo, at the time CNN's most popular prime-time anchor, was fired in December when it was revealed in documents released by New York attorney general Letitia James that his behind-the-scenes role helped craft his brother's response to harassment charges was more extensive than previously acknowledged.
