THE Showtime political documentary series The Circus is set to return in April, minus its most recognisable star: Mark Halperin, the high-flying journalist whose career was felled last year by allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Replacing Mr Halperin will be Alex Wagner, a CBS News anchor and former MSNBC host. She will join two of the original hosts, writer John Heilemann, Mr Halperin's longtime professional partner, and Mark McKinnon, a Stetson-sporting political consultant.
