Jake Tapper Rumored To Be Replacing Fired Chris Cuomo
Tapper isn’t as annoying or gross as Cuomo, but will he work in primetime? I’m used to seeing him in the afternoon, and he’s usually pretty low key, which might not translate well into an evening show. Via Radar:

“It’s Jake — by a long stretch,” a network insider told Radar.
“Jake star has been on the rise for a long time. He is the logical choice, but if he takes over, it will have a cascading effect because Jake’s unlikely to be able to continue State of the Union and remain lead DC anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent. In short, this really has screwed with CNN’s programming line-up.
