So really is a joke! They are apparently now considering filling their failing prime-time with some comedian, I guess because they think they can compete with Greg Gutfeld or something. “News entertainment” names that have been floated include Bill Maher, Trevor Noah and Jon Stewart. Really, Trevor Noah? Dude completely flamed out on the Daily Show on Comedy Central. Unfunny Jon Stewart hasn’t been funny in years. And well, Bill Maher is all of a sudden against “wokeism”. This has all the hallmarks of another CNN disaster. But I guess they don’t do any worse than they are now with Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett and whatever other hack they trot out their at night.

Of course CNN could just slap a clown nose on Fake Jake Tapper and trot him out as a comedian. He’s about as funny as much as he is a “journalist”.
