CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker rose to prominence overseeing NBC’s "Today" during the Matt Lauer era, but he’s failed to replicate the success with his network's long-suffering morning show "New Day." "New Day" was supposed to emerge as CNN’s flagship morning program, akin to NBC’s highly successful "Today" but with edginess that could only happen on cable. But Zucker’s attempt to create a popular morning show at CNN has been disastrous. NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck feels it can’t simply be "sheer incompetence" plaguing CNN’s morning show amid multiple reboots. However, if it does, it’s not Keilar," Outkick columnist Bobby Burack recently wrote in a piece that called "New Day" a disaster.
