The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed network is considering working with talent from across the parent company, according to a person familiar with the matter. The streaming segments help Maher’s “Real Time” gain traction with a wider audience, since his show is only available to subscribers to HBO or its streaming counterpart, HBO Max. CNN has had visits in recent weeks from people like Food Network celebrity chef Bobby Flay and “White Lotus” star Jennifer Coolidge. The company recently announced it intended to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Warner Bros. studio throughout 2023. CNN has also launched programs led by comedian D. L. Hughley, Colin Quinn and political operative Van Jones.
