CNNs Scott Jennings bags new contract and it | TV Shows

Scott Jennings is going up in the world and the CNN ranks, it seems.

The firey CNN host has leveraged his popularity as the network’s resident MAGA voice into new heights, as he has reportedly landed a new contract.

According to Status News, Jennings, a veteran political strategist and respected voice in Republican circles whose analysis counters the network’s often left-leaning discussions, is set to receive a substantial pay increase, too.

However, details of the pay increase and the length of the contract have remained under wraps by the network and Jennings himself.

Jennings was reportedly keen on getting CNN to give him the go-ahead for his own show, whether online or on television, but bosses did not agree to the request, as per Status News.

Before concluding: “In fact, Jennings is set to receive a substantial pay increase from the Mark Thompson-led network, I’m told. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.”

The former George W. Bush administration adviser has soared to stardom in recent months over his viral clashes with CNN guests with opposing views to him.

Reports of Jennings’ alleged pay rise come months after the network announced it would lay off hundreds of staffers in the weeks after the 2024 election.
