The program premiered on January 18, 2009, originally withJohn King as host, and aired from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm ET (though only the 9:00 am and noon ET hours are simulcast onCNN International) and from 8:00 pm to 9:00 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 the2008 presidential election. At four hours long, it was by far the longest of the Sunday talk shows. It was created as a merger betweenReliable Sources andLate Edition with Wolf Blitzer;Reliable Sources continued unchanged as a one-hour "segment" ofState of the Union. On February 11, 2009, CNN announced it had hired formerMeet the Press producer Michelle Jaconi as the executive producer of the program.
On a January 31, 2010, broadcast, John King announced that senior political correspondentCandy Crowley would become the new anchor of the program,[1] following King's move to take overLou Dobbs'former timeslot.[2] In the move, the program was cut from four hours to one, and theReliable 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 untilJake Tapper was named permanent host in April 2015.[3] In January 2021, CNN announced thatDana Bash would join Tapper as a co-host, with the two alternating Sundays hosting.[4]
