Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor You can’t tie these anchors down. MSNBC’s Symone Sanders and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins have both moved to WME for representation after previously being signed to UTA, according to three people familiar with the matter. Sanders launched a new Sunday program in May of last year, and her contract with MSNBC ends in early 2024, according to two of these people. Collins is one of three co-anchors at “CNN This Morning,” which executives at the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned outlet are trying to improve after a rocky start, and where the three hostshave had to work through on-set tensions.
The defections of the two anchors from one big agency to the other puts a spotlight on the never-ending battle between Hollywood heavyweights to woo new clients. Both talent firms are powerhouses. UTA represents many of the top anchors at CNN, including Jake Tapper and Alisyn Camerota, as well as CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell and ABC News’ David Muir. Meanwhile, WME represents MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Alex Wagner and Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and Amna Nawaz of “PBS NewsHour.”
Collins’ move may have been spurred by the fact that UTA had represented both her and her “CNN This Morning” co-anchor Don Lemon, creating a difficult situation as knots are being ironed out at the A.M. show. WME is said to have made a serious pitch that gives her access to multiple executives, according to one of the people familiar with the move. The belief is that Collins, a young up-and-comer who has taken up anchor duties during the early part of her arc in TV journalism, has more ahead of her. It’s not the first time an agency or a client has had to weigh whether either can work through a seeming conflict. In 2018, CAA and Megyn
Director Ti West has added more stars to the cast of his Mia Goth-led X sequel, MaXXXine.
In a world where studios are desperate to create the next big franchise, it’s always interesting to see these sorts of things pop up in a truly organic way. “John Wick” is a good example of this.
Ti West has locked in an all-star cast for his Mia Goth-led A24 horror pic MaXXXine, with Elizabeth Debicki (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3.), Moses Sumney (The Idol), Michelle Monaghan (Nanny), Bobby Cannavale (The Watcher), Lily Collins (Emily in Paris), Halsey (Americana), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul) and Kevin Bacon (City on a Hill) closing deals for roles.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Al Franken spent nine years as a U.S. Senator from Minnesota, and it all finally paid off in recent weeks when he logged a stint as a guest host on “The Daily Show.” Franken turned in some robust impressions of Charles Schumer, Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins during one sketch on the Comedy Central program that suggested he was taking some pretty interesting notes when he served in that chamber. “I didn’t give them a heads up,” Franken says in a recent interview, after his run. “I served wth those people. Some I could do. I’m not one othose impressionists who can do everyone. I do who I can do.” While Franken is one of a number of noted hosts who have helped the show keep spinning after the depature last year of Trevor Noah, you might say he has been training for such an appearance for much of his professional life. Franken made some famous appearances on the long-running “Weekend Update” segment of “Saturday Night Live,” and, after a few stints on the show as a writer and performer, tried his hand at other exploits. He led comedic coverage of the the run-up to the 1992 presidential election for Comedy Central, presaging efforts to do so by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. He later became a progressive radio host for Air America. In recent months, he has been doing a comedy tour around the nation.
