Christopher Andrew Licht, is an American television producer and newsman, who is known for starting MSNBC’s Morning Joe and the revival of CBS This Morning, and also known for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’s executive producer and showrunner, as well as senior vice president of special programming for CBS. He has been CNN’s chairman and CEO since May 2022.

Licht was picked to be Jeff Zucker’s replacement on February 26, 2022, after Zucker’s resignation as president of CNN. “Unfortunately, too many people have lost trust in the news media,” Licht wrote in a memo he sent to all CNN employees on his first day as chairman and CEO.

He said in his words, “We can be a shining example of journalism’s best qualities, fearlessly speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo, challenging “group-think,” enlightening viewers and readers with straightforward facts and insightful commentary, and always being respectful of opposing viewpoints. We must be true champions first and foremost, and we will. One such method involves limiting CNN’s use of the term “breaking news.”
