Amara Walker Gets Co-Anchor Duties for CNN’s Weekend Mornings

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Amara Walker, the CNN correspondent newly assigned to co-anchor weekend mornings, will be represented by CAA. Walker, who joined CNN in 2012, works alongside co-anchor Boris Sanchez. The two also anchor CNN’s 10 a.m. hour on Saturdays. She is based in CNN’s Atlanta studio, and continues to also serve as a correspondent. The current “New Day” airs Saturdays between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and Sundays between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. CNN has announced plans to relaunch morning programming later this year and the weekend show’s name would, presumably, change as part of that move. Walker has reported on such events as the 2021 Atlanta spa massacre and co-hosted a primetime special with Anderson Cooper, Victor Blackwell, and Ana Cabrera, called “Afraid: Fear in America’s Communities of Color.” During the 2020 presidential election and the Georgia Senate runoff, Walker was part of an election night team reporting on President Trump’s repeated attacks against the Georgia Secretary of State, baselessly claiming fraud. Walker began her career at CNN as an anchor for CNN International, where she anchored during the ongoing humanitarian and political crisis in Venezuela, and during large-scale demonstrations against a controversial extradition bill in Hong Kong in June 2019, among other events. She was live on the air as a fire ripped through Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris in April 2019. Walker graduated magna cum laude with a dual degree in political science and broadcast journalism from the University of Southern California, and speaks conversational Korean and Spanish.

Georgia Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock and his Republican opponent Herschel Walker faced off in a live debate in Savannah on Friday, October 14.

C-SPAN.“Hey, just think about it: Pronoun? In our military?” he said to laughter from the crowd and those present at the event, including Republican Senators Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.). “How do you identify? In our military? These are war times.

An Indiana mother was reportedly sentenced to 115 years in prison earlier this month for poisoning her ex-boyfriend's oatmeal and strangling him during a custody battle.  Following a seven-day trial, Heidi Marie Littlefield was found guilty of murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder in August by a jury in Hamilton County. The Hamilton County prosecutor said Francis Kelley had been killed by asphyxiation last year due to manual strangulation or neck compression, with acute fentanyl intoxication listed as a contributing factor in his death.

It’s a high stakes showdown in a high-profile and extremely expensive Senate race that’s among a handful across the country that will determine if Republicans win back the chamber’s majority. First-term Democratic Sen.

“You can’t win ‘em all.” And while most were shocked by his choice of words, Seth Meyers wasn’t too phased, joking on Tuesday’s “Late Night” that Herschel Walker can’t even keep track of his kids.In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Musk was asked about being disowned by his teenage transgender daughter. First, he blamed “neo-Marxists” for their estranged relationship, but was mostly cavalier about it, saying in full, “[The relationship with my daughter] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others.

series “Walker,” (currently in its third season), which is itself a modern reboot of the classic show “Walker, Texas Ranger.” “It’s so refreshing to dive into something that takes place in reality, where you don’t just have superpowers or magic. You have to rely on humanity [and] it’s an exciting difference,” McNamara, 26, told The Post.  McNamara previously starred in the supernatural drama “Shadowhunters,” as well as the superhero series “Arrow” and “The Flash” (and she also appeared in “Batwoman” and “Supergirl”). “I’m a Midwestern girl myself, and there’s a certain nostalgia that comes with a Western,” she said.

reported that Walker, who has been vocally anti-abortion, paid for a girlfriend’s abortion in 2009, including images from the woman of a “Get Well” card Walker reportedly sent along with his check covering the expenses. Later in the week, it was reported again by The Daily Beast that the woman leveling the accusations did actually have a child with Herschel Walker in 2011 — though he reportedly encouraged her to have an abortion then, too.

Saturday Night Live opened with a Bowen Yang hosted game show, So You Think You Won’t Snap, as contestants were challenged to not go out of their minds in rage as they are reminded of some of the week’s most unnerving news headlines.

Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker's campaign fired political director Taylor Crowe on suspicion of leaking to members of the media, two Republican sources with knowledge of the events confirmed to Fox News Digital. The decision comes a month before the 2022 midterm election, with Walker responding to a report that he urged an unnamed former girlfriend to get an abortion, and reimbursed her $700 for the procedure. Walker denies the report.

Well, Herschel Walker isn’t exactly making this any better…

Kat McNamara has revealed new show Walker Independence is "more dangerous" than Jared Padalecki's Walker.Exclusive: 9-1-1's Oliver Stark opens up about vulnerability and why it's okay to cryThis is very much a women-focused CW show with dramatic music, marginalized voices getting center stage, and a love triangle.WATCH: Trailer for Walker: Independence Set in the late 1800s, Walker Independence is an origin story of The CW series Walker, itself a reboot of Texas Walker Ranger.

The Herschel Walker saga continues – and chances are, it won’t let up until voting begins for November’s midterm elections. While there’s been updates all week about his alleged payments to an ex-girlfriend to cover costs for an abortion in 2009 – and even a “get well soon” card in his handwriting provided as further evidence – the “Morning Joe” crew knows that his fate will ultimately come down to the Georgia Senate candidate’s Republican voter base. And co-host Joe Scarborough thinks Walker may get Republican voters to stoop lower than ever.

LaToya Ferguson In January 2021, the Jared Padalecki-starring and executive-produced “Walker, Texas Ranger” reboot (simply titled “Walker”) premiered as a new hit for The CW. Perhaps not quite infiltrating pop culture the same way as “Riverdale” had, still, it found success as a family and crime drama. The show was soon renewed for a second season, and is about to start its third. In the process of that success, naturally, the series was able to go the spinoff route — making this CW fall season two-for-two for spinoffs on Padalecki-associated vehicles, as the “Supernatural” prequel “The Winchesters” is also premiering soon, and he’s an executive producer on “Walker: Independence.” But the most interesting aspect of both of these spinoffs is that they specifically see value not in telling concurrent or future stories of the characters, but instead going back to the past, in prequel form.
