Former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is joining CNN, according to reports Wednesday. The Situation Room’s senior producer Vaughn Sterling tweeted out a welcome to Carney:

Carney is expected to start tonight with commentary on his former boss’ ISIS speech.

“Jay’s unique experience as both a journalist and a White House press secretary make him an invaluable voice for the network as we cover the final two years of the Obama Administration and look ahead to the coming campaigns,” said Sam Feist, CNN’s Washington bureau chief. “We’re fortunate to have Jay on our air tonight to provide analysis and insight surrounding the President’s address to the nation.”

Carney’s new employer hardly comes as a surprise, as many expected him to join one of the three major cable networks after he stepped down from the podium in June — though his name was also bandied about for a position in Apple or a startup.
