Laura Coates Live is an American news discussion talk show broadcast by CNN. Premiering on October 16, 2023, the program is hosted by CNN's chief legal analyst Laura Coates, and is being positioned as a spiritual successor of former CNN series Larry King Live.
History
Amid the lead-up to the 2022 midterm elections and the cancellation of Don Lemon Tonight ahead of Don Lemon's move to CNN This Morning, CNN announced in September 2022 that Laura Coates and Alisyn Camerota would co-host the 10 p.m.–midnight block of CNN Tonight beginning in October 2022. In January 2023, Camerota and Coates were named as interim hosts of the 10 and 11 p.m. hours. Coates would depart CNN Tonight in March 2023, and was subsequently promoted to chief legal analyst in May 2023.
On August 14, 2023, CNN announced that Coates would return to the 11 p.m. hour to host a new program, Laura Coates Live, which premiered on October 16, 2023.
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 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."
