YouTube Description
as posted by the channelChris Cuomo just revealed the real reason CNN insisted he stay on after his show to “handoff” to Don Lemon — and it wasn’t just for ratings.
According to Cuomo, network head Jeff Zucker wanted him there to "mitigate" whatever Don Lemon might say at the start of his show. In a hyper-polarized media world, Don checked a lot of boxes: provocative, opinionated, and hitting the right identity marks. But behind the scenes, CNN clearly had concerns — and Cuomo’s job was to cover if things went sideways.
