The Chris Wallace Show was a panel discussion program broadcast on CNN. It premiered on November 4, 2023, airing Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. Eastern. The show wrapped up its run on November 23, 2024. It marked Wallace’s return to political programming after two years focused on entertainment-driven interviews.
Each episode gathered a small panel of reporters and commentators to discuss the week’s biggest stories. The format favored open debate over one-on-one interviews with newsmakers. Segments regularly touched on the 2024 presidential race and its aftermath. The show broadcast from CNN’s Washington, D.C. studio, using virtual set extensions built for the space.
Chris Wallace hosted the program for its entire run. He joined CNN in 2022 after 18 years anchoring Fox News Sunday. Wallace announced his departure from CNN in November 2024, prompting the show’s conclusion. His final broadcast featured a highlight montage and farewell remarks from his regular panelists.
Reihan Salam, Lulu Garcia-Navarro, and Kristen Soltis Anderson appeared as frequent panelists throughout the show’s run. Tech journalist Kara Swisher also joined as a regular contributor. Guests ranged from campaign strategists to fellow journalists covering the election. Their debates gave the show its signature back-and-forth energy.
The show aired alongside Wallace’s separate interview series, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, which streamed on Max. Both programs ended around the same time, following Wallace’s exit from the network. While the show is no longer running, it remains available as a podcast feed on CNN’s audio platforms.
