Good morning, I’m Dylan Byers. Welcome back to In The Room, my biweekly private email on the inner workings of the American media. I’m coming to you a little early today with a fresh scoop on one—just one—of Chris Licht’s very unconventional ideas for CNN primetime: Charles Barkley.

P.S.: Puck is partnering with National Geographic’s documentary feature Oscar nominee, Fire of Love, for a screening with the film’s creators on Feb. 14, and I’ll be emceeing our event in Los Angeles. You can RSVP here if you’re a Puck subscriber (and feel free to bring a date). Hope to see you there.
