Zakaria, who most recently won an Emmy\u00ae in 2021 for Outstanding News Discussion &amp; Analysis and previously won a Peabody Award, is the host of Fareed Zakaria GPS, CNN&#8217;s flagship global affairs program that airs weekly on CNN around the world. He has written four New York Times bestselling books, and is a columnist for The Washington Post.
