Eliot Spitzer, Kathleen Parker to Co-Host New CNN Debate Show

Former New York governor Eliot Spitzer and conservative columnist Kathleen Parker are teaming up to co-host a new roundtable news show on CNN.

The still-untitled program will premiere this fall and air weeknights at 8PM ET, according to a CNN press release. The show, described as a "spirited, nightly roundtable discussion program" by CNN, will feature a panel of opinionated guests discussing the biggest news stories of the day.

"Other cable news channels force-feed viewers one narrow, predictable point of view; in contrast, CNN will be offering a lively roundup of all the best ideas -- presented by two of the most intelligent and outspoken figures in the country," CNN president Jon Klein said in a statement.

Spitzer says the show, which seems to feature a similar format to CNN's previous events debate show 'Crossfire,' looks to "advance the discussion of the defining issues of our time."
