As Chris Cuomo‘s indefinite suspension from CNN continues, the network has tapped Michael Smerconish to fill in for the anchor during the 9 p.m. hour next week. Smerconish hosts the aptly named show Smerconish during CNN’s 9 a.m. hour on Saturdays, which debuted in 2014. He also frequently appears as a guest on other CNN programming and has previously sat in for Cuomo. The network did not immediately respond to a query from TVNewser about whether Smerconish could continue subbing for Cuomo beyond next week. Anderson Cooper had been filling in for Cuomo this week, extending AC 360 to two hours.
