History
The program premiered on January 18, 2009, originally with John King as host, and aired from 9:00Script error: No such module "String".am to 1:00Script error: No such module "String".pm ET (though only the 9:00Script error: No such module "String".am and noon ET hours are simulcast on CNN International) and from 8:00Script error: No such module "String".pm to 9:00Script error: No such module "String".pm ET. It features news analysis and interviews with politicians, reporters, and newsmakers, as well as the "Magic Wall", an interactive touch screen map previously used by King to cover the 2008 presidential election. At four hours long, it was by far the longest of the Sunday talk shows. It was created as a merger between Reliable Sources and Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer; Reliable Sources continued unchanged as a one-hour "segment" of State of the Union. On February 11, 2009, CNN announced it had hired former Meet the Press producer Michelle Jaconi as the executive producer of the program.
On a January 31, 2010, broadcast, John King announced that senior political correspondent Candy Crowley would become the new anchor of the program,[1] following King's move to take over Lou Dobbs' former timeslot.[2] In the move, the program was cut from four hours to one, and the Reliable Sources "show within a show" was spun off once again as its own program.
After Crowley left CNN in December 2014, State of the Union had a series of fill-ins until Jake Tapper was named permanent host in April 2015.[3] In January 2021, CNN announced that Dana Bash would join Tapper as a co-host, with the two alternating Sundays hosting.[4]
