The network is hoping for twin comebacks: For its own struggling nightly lineup and for the former Democratic governor who resigned in disgrace following a prostitution scandal. The new show will replace one hosted by Campbell Brown at 8 p.m. EDT, going against Bill O'Reilly at Fox News Channel and Keith Olbermann at MSNBC, the top personalities at CNN's competitors. The two said they will discuss the type of issues heard around the kitchen table at dinner, "minus the cocktails," Parker said. "We will bring in interesting guests and some regular contributors and offer the television audience an alternative to the strictly ideological format," she said. They took pains to distance themselves from "Crossfire," the original cable TV debate program that CNN US President Jon Klein canceled in 2005, saying he was tired of the arguments. Since then, however, the big winners on prime-time cable news have been opinionated programs on Fox and MSNBC while CNN has struggled to hold a middle ground. Brown tried, then left because she said she couldn't hold up to her rivals in the ratings.
