Jeffrey Toobin decides to quit CNN after 20 years. Check out the details

After working with CNN for around two decades, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has decided to call it quits. Toobin had suffered a huge setback two years ago when he exposed himself inadvertently to co-workers on Zoom. He took to Twitter and said that he would be leaving CNN after 20 years once his vacation gets over. He said it was great to spend his last day on air with Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer. He said that he loved all his former colleagues, and his last day on air was August 4.

Toobin is an established writer and has many bestselling books under his name. In a tweet, he teased about the Oklahoma bombing in his next book, which is due in 2023. A spokesperson for CNN said they are grateful for Toobin's contributions to CNN over so many years, and they wish him all the best for his future. Toobin has not responded to this yet.




Toobin was CNN programming's mainstay for many years and appeared in some monumental moments of American politics and current events. His analysis was bold, and he was seen as a boogeyman because of his outspoken comments on former President Donald Trump.

Toobin made headlines in 2020 when he accidentally exposed himself during a video call on Zoom to his colleagues at WNYX and The New Yorker.

He was eventually suspended and fired by The New Yorker while CNN sidelined him. However, CNN gave him another chance and welcomed him back on air after eight months. Toobin talked about the incident the first time he came on air. He spoke to Alisyn Camerota about it.

He said that he is human and would make mistakes, but his actions were indefensible and deeply moronic. He apologised to his family, wife, colleagues and everyone on the Zoom call.
