Sanchez, who was born in Cuba and had worked at CNN since 2004, was host of the two-hour "Rick's List" on CNN's afternoon lineup. He had done a prime-time version of that show in recent months but lost that time slot as CNN prepared to launch a new show featuring former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and columnist Kathleen Parker. It premiered Monday. Several times in the past, Stewart had poked fun on the air at Sanchez and what Stewart called "his extremely pokeable show." Another poke on Monday: Stewart played cleverly edited clips of Steve Carell as foolish boss Michael Scott from "The Office" interspersed with strikingly similar real-life clips of Sanchez chatting up CNN co-workers. "Carell is leaving `The Office' (after this season), NBC is looking to replace him," trilled Stewart. "Sanchez is available!" ___ Comedy Central is a unit of Viacom. ___ Online:
