CHANGE: CBS News’ Bari Weiss to host town hall with Erika Kirk.

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, in her on-air debut, will host a town hall with Erika Kirk on Dec. 13.

The event with Kirk, the widow of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will preempt the 28th annual Family Film and TV Awards, which will now run Dec. 20, according to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.

“Like so many people around the world, I will never forget the moment that Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer,” said Weiss, who was hired for the top post in October by CBS News parent company Paramount, a Skydance Corporation

“I am eager to speak to her—and thrilled to be doing so in front of a group of Americans who I know will elevate the conversation,” Weiss also said.

It remains to be seen how quickly or thoroughly Weiss can shake things up at CBS, but this is a big down payment with an audience that probably tuned out her network 20 years ago.
