Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show cancelled due to low ratings.

Anderson Cooper's daytime show "Anderson Live" has been canceled, the New York Times reported Monday.

The syndicated show, which debuted last fall and is currently in its second season, will not return after next summer. A studio executive who spoke to the Times on the condition of anonymity cited low ratings as the reason for the decision.

The move comes after an attempt to shake things up for the second season, which started in September. The show changed its name to "Anderson Live," debuted a new format starring Cooper with a different co-host every day, and moved to a different studio. That was not enough to jumpstart ratings, apparently, especially as "Anderson Live" went up against a slew of new daytime shows.

CNN seems to fail at everything.
I wonder what Wolf Blitzer would say about this?

It's news to me.

But then, I don't keep track of what CNN is up to anyhow.

His ratings must have been too close to call.
