After the news broke that Jeff Zucker, CNN’s head honcho, left his prestigious gig due to a relationship with an executive at the network, more information surrounding the controversy came forward. According to CNBC, after an inquiry was made about the relationship between Zucker and the now-named woman, Allison Gollust, Zucker chose to leave the job. However, he will stay with WarnerMedia, meaning he isn’t exactly out of a job.
Information about Zucker’s past began pouring in, typical when there is any sort of scandal. One report made by The Week shared that comedienne Kathy Griffin was axed from her gig on CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage when she asked Zucker for a raise. However, the most startling realization about Zucker’s behavior has come from lines in Katie Couric’s memoir. While it was made to seem the affair between Zucker and Gollust was initiated after he separated from his wife, Couric’s words make it seem as though the couple may have started a relationship earlier than Zucker says.

According to People, Couric’s book hit shelves in October of 2021. In the book, she wrote about how Zucker pushed hard to get Gollust to join NBCUniversal, the company he worked for alongside Couric. She penned, “When we worked together at NBC, she and Jeff cooked up even bolder ways to draw attention to ‘Today’ and later Jeff himself when he moved to Entertainment.” She added, “The problem was, we’d already hired a PR person for the show. There wasn’t a role for Allison. Jeff asked me to meet with her anyway.”
