[CNN]...formerly the
Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
boss Chris Licht told staffers that "more changes" are coming following this week’s announcement that "Reliable Sources" host Brian Stelter will exit the network and his show will be canceled.
"You're fired, Mister Potatohead."
"This is a time of change, and I know that it’s unsettling," Licht said of Stelter’s exit during a Friday meeting of employees, adding: "There will be more changes and you might not understand it or like it all."
"I'm so unsettled!"
"Shuddup, Mistr Potatohead!"
Licht turned to Stelter, who anchored the media analysis program since 2013 and whose last show will air on Sunday, and said, "I really appreciate all that Brian has done to build the media beat for CNN. He’s a great human being and a good person. I wish him all the best on his new venture."
"Whatever it is."
Licht, who joined CNN in May, replacing CNN’s disgraced boss Jeff Zucker, asked staffers to be patient.
"Be patient. Has anybody seen Woof Blitzer?"
"We will continue covering media stories, including on TV, when warranted," Licht said. "Give us some time, see how things develop, and then give us feedback."
"And tell Don Lemon that I wanta see him."
