Chris Rock and Aisha Taylor are in talks with CNN for a possible chance to fill in an empty programming slot that the network has been trying to put to good use, Perez Hilton reports.

CNN has got this 7PM slot wide-open for new programming, so the network has been scrambling to decided what to do with it. According to insiders at CNN, the agreement amongst the suits is to flll the void with a program that would win back the African-American and Hispanic viewers (because somewhere along the line, they lost them!)

CNN's 7 p.m. slot is currently assigned to "John King USA," which has received unimpressive ratings lately, despite a temporary spike during its Japan tsunami coverage.

The network has already tried to produce a show starring Soledad O'Brien, but it was considered "unwatchable" by execs.

No

Give this Idiot a show on BET, but if he does get a show on CNN, you can be sure he can & will use the N word all he wants.....He is Black after all. Making fun of Whitey, that should fit in quite well at CNN.
