Abby Phillip Signs New Deal To Remain At CNN
Abby Phillip has signed a new deal at CNN, where she has hosted the nightly show CNN Newsnight.
A network spokesperson declined to comment on talent contracts.
According to a source, Phillip recently renewed her deal to remain at the network, which she joined in 2017. CNN NewsNight‘s roundtables frequently land clips on social media, as figures from across the political spectrum debate, and at times argue, over the top stories of the day. Variety first reported on Phillip’s new contract.
Last year, CNN signed another primetime host, Anderson Cooper, to a new contract. In addition to AC 360, Cooper hosts the Sunday newsmagazine The Whole Story.
Phillip also hosts Table for Five on Saturday mornings and the streaming series Confessions and Obsessions. She previously was the network’s senior political correspondents and the host of Inside Politics Sunday. She previously worked at The Washington Post, ABC News and Politico.
