Laura Coates Live is an American news discussion show broadcast by CNN.
Premiering on October 16, 2023, the program is hosted by CNN's chief legal analyst Laura Coates.
[2] Coates would depart CNN Tonight in March 2023,[3] and was subsequently promoted to chief legal analyst in May 2023.
[6] Coates told the Los Angeles Times that Laura Coates Live would be a "renaissance and rejuvenation" of CNN's former talk show Larry King Live, explaining that "I always loved the intimate [Larry King] experience, where the viewers feel like they are in the room where it's happening.
"[6] While Laura Coates Live has adopted visual elements inspired by Larry King Live (such as graphics evoking the program's trademark world map backdrops), it otherwise uses a format similar to CNN's other primetime programs, and is not formatted as a straight talk show.
