Rick Sanchez (born Ricardo Leon Sánchez de Reinaldo; July 3, 1958) is the American TV news anchor who hosts Rick's List on CNN from 3 P.M. to 5 P.M. In addition, he serves as a contributor to Anderson Cooper 360° and CNN International, where he frequently reports while simultaneously translating in English and Spanish. For eight months, in the interim between Paula Zahn and Campbell Brown, he anchored Out in the Open at 8 p.m. The show was to last one week in late July 2007, but the show's ratings success led CNN President Jon Klein to keep Sanchez as host of the show until January 2008. He has also filled in for Anderson Cooper and Ali Velshi on Your Money on occasion. Based in the network's world headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, Sanchez joined the network in September 2004.
Sanchez was involved in the network’s Peabody Award winning coverage of Hurricane Katrina. He anchored the network's coverage for eight hours as the levees broke in New Orleans, Louisiana, and began filing live reports from the flooding the next day. On January 18, 2010 he started a new show called Rick's List.
