Not to be all earnest on Maine or anything, but I got to tell you something. Working at CNN, it's pretty cool.

I'm surrounded by so many smart correspondence and reporters and producers.

Being around them makes me smarter about the world and we

love bringing that knowledge to you. But here's the thing we only do one show a

week. Our show is called one thing. It's right there in the name, one story each week.

Point is there is so so so much news and interesting stories that we just couldn't

get to this year. So today, before we say goodbye to

2023, we're going to do something a little different.

This is Ellie Honeg. I'm sending in my year-end little thing for David Rhine.

Hi David, I've got something for you.

I think it's quite nerdy.

I don't know.

This is really nerdy.

Because I've been asking a bunch of my CNN colleagues to tell us what we missed, what flew

under the radar, or got buried by other big news.

They also told me about the things they think we'll be making headlines in 2024, the stories that could

shape the conversations you're about to be having in your group chats.

So in just a sec, I'm going to step aside and let you hear from all of them. From CNN, I'm David Reind, this is one thing, and here are some other things.

What's up? up everyone.

This is CNN's Omar Jimenez and I want to tell you about the end of E3.

All right, a lot of you are probably wondering, what is or now what was E3?

It was one of the world's biggest video game conventions
