Crossfire was an American nightly current events debate television program that aired on CNN from June 25, 1982, to June 3, 2005, and again from September 9, 2013, to August 6, 2014. The format was designed to present and challenge the opinions of a politically liberal pundit and a conservative pundit.

After eight years off the air, a revival of Crossfire launched on September 9, 2013.[1] The panelists for the new edition of Crossfire were former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and political commentator S. E. Cupp representing the right with political consultant Stephanie Cutter and advocate Van Jones representing the left.[2] The program was last broadcast in July 2014 and officially cancelled later that year.[3]
