Laura Coates Live is an American news discussion show broadcast by CNN. Premiering on October 16, 2023, the program is hosted by CNN's chief legal analyst Laura Coates.
Amid the lead-up to the 2022 midterm elections and Don Lemon's move to CNN This Morning , CNN announced in September 2022 that Laura Coates and Alisyn Camerota would co-anchor the 10 p.m.–midnight ET block of CNN Tonight beginning in October 2022, replacing Don Lemon Tonight . [1] In January 2023, Camerota and Coates were named as interim hosts of the 10 and 11 p.m. hours. [2] Coates would depart CNN Tonight in March 2023, [3] and was subsequently promoted to chief legal analyst in May 2023. [4]
On August 14, 2023, CNN announced that Coates would return to the 11 p.m. hour to host a new program, Laura Coates Live, [5] which premiered on October 16, 2023. [6]
Coates told the Los Angeles Times that Laura Coates Live would be a "renaissance and rejuvenation" of CNN's former talk show Larry King Live , explaining that "I always loved the intimate [ Larry King] experience, where the viewers feel like they are in the room where it's happening. I am a conduit to the questions they want asked. It will have a late-night vibe." [6] While Laura Coates Live has adopted visual elements inspired by Larry King Live (such as graphics evoking the program's trademark world map backdrops), it otherwise uses a format similar to CNN's other primetime programs, and is not formatted as a straight talk show.
