prairiewindmomma Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 There's a new presenter this year, and my kids miss Carl. The new presenter is Coy Wire, and starting off CNN10 with a piece on football was not a win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insertcreativenamehere Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) We have watched Carl for years as homeschoolers and my kids also watched him when they attended both public and private schools. We are all disappointed that Carl isn't back! It's not CNN10 without him. 😞 My kids say it's all over TikTok as well and I've seen both teachers and students commenting all over Twitter about his absence. His wife is in a Facebook homeschool group that I'm also in and she said she can't comment. 😞 She did encourage anyone with opinions to contact CNN.

Spryte Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Oh no! We haven’t watched yet, but it won’t be the same without him. Boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I know, right? I adore Carl Azuz and the new guy is nowhere in his league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insertcreativenamehere Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I'm hope it's temporary but I'm not hopeful based on the delays and what his wife said. If he was out sick, or something similar, I think she would have just said that rather than saying she can't comment on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) There have been a lot of firings at CNN lately under the new CEO and since Discovery purchased CNN's parent company, Warner Media.

catz Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Oh man, I haven't watched consistently for a while but that is super disappointing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulalu Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Coy has said this week several times. So I hope he is only on for this week. He just doesn't have the same vibe, and he doesn't deliver the jokes as well. We miss Carl! I don't know how they pick pieces to cover either, but the football segment did not give us a lot to talk about and was boring! We like to talk over lunch about what we have watched.

Rachel Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Day one the puns were just awful, I’m glad Coy has since dropped those. I hate change and I really liked that Carl Azuz kept controversial subjects fairly neutral. I will say that Carl was still often casually dressed in his family room all last school year so I sort of wonder if he refused to go back to the studio. I wish CNN would address the change instead of ignoring it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I haven't watched in several years because my kids grew up. But we watched it faithfully from the time we discovered it until they were no longer homeschooling--it was one of the highlights of the day. Carl did such a great job of being neutral (the broader news bearers could take lessons) and being interesting. I sure hope they haven't fired him, because that would certainly be a loss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Ok, I have to admit that one of my students was SO excited today that there was not more Carl…..she is on the spectrum and hated the jokes and puns. She specifically came up to tell me he wasn’t on there. the rest of the students like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the neutrality was very refreshing. I felt like my kids were getting a fair representation of the news. It’s always hard to be the new person after a beloved person, so I hope that Coy isn’t discouraged. I’ll get used to him and now that he’s dropped the puns, which obviously isn’t his thing, his episodes are more bearable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
