CNN’s New 8PM Host: Max Kellerman

Sports analyst and CNN contributor Max Kellerman will anchor the 8 p.m. hour on the network… at least for one day.

Kellerman will be filling in for Rick Sanchez on the 8 p.m. edition of “Rick’s List” Friday. It will be the first time Kellerman has served as a guest host on the news channel.

The sports commentator tweeted the news, which CNN has confirmed, earlier this afternoon.

Kellerman joined CNN in May, and previously served as a contributor to MSNBC.

He continues to serve as a boxing analyst for HBO Sports.
