Laura Coates Live

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.
