Parker-Spitzer on CNN begins with new low

Disgraced former New York governor Eliot Spitzer isn't exactly stunning them with his new show partnered with Kathleen Parker on CNN.

That's the new CNN show that has the liberal Spitzer sitting at a round table the size of a medium pizza with conservative Kathleen Parker.

From TVNewser:

Last night’s “Parker-Spitzer” saw the lowest numbers yet for the program and the show did little to help the one that followed on the schedule — “Larry King Live” which had its worst numbers in more than 10 years.

In its sixth outing, “Parker-Spitzer” drew 311,000 Total Viewers. That’s lower than the previous low for the time period set by Campbell Brown earlier this year - 332,000. Last week, Parker-Spitzer finished fourth in the time period averaging 465,000 Total Viewers.

The viewership challenged CNN needs more help than Parker-Spitzer can bring to the sagging cable news network.
