Charles Barkley is hoping CNN won’t sink his meteoric broadcasting career.

Coming this fall, Barkley will be hosting a show on the struggling news network alongside Gayle King.

“Apparently, with this new talk show, I’m jumping on the Titanic,” Barkley said during an appearance on the NHL on TNT.

“Everybody keeps saying ‘abort, abort.’ No, no. I am looking forward to it. Gayle is awesome.”

The widely known sports commentator will be talking politics on the show — named “King Charles” after the NBA legend — which is slated to air Wednesdays on CNN.

Barkley’s comments come a week after CEO Chris Licht left CNN after a scathing Atlantic profile that referred to him as thin-skinned, aloof and paranoid about negative media coverage.

Author Tim Alberta spoke to over 100 CNN employees for the profile, who seriously questioned Licht’s ability to lead the company into a successful future.

CNN is now looking to replace its leader for the second time in 18 months.

“All I want is people, even if I disagree with them, to be honest with me,” Barkley said of the show when it was announced in April.

“I don’t want them saying things to get clickbait. That is one of the things that is what drives me crazy about people in our profession right now.”

As for Barkley, he has been extremely busy of late, working on NBA TV for the NBA Playoffs and doubling up with TNT during the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Barkley, 60, had consistently spoken about retiring from on-air appearances by now, but the demand for his talents has only grown in recent years.

Barkley signed a 10-year deal worth well over $100 million in 2022 that will keep him alongside Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson on TNT’s wildly popular pre- and postgame show, “Inside the NBA.”

“We’re all a big family — Ernie, Kenny and Shaquille are brothers to me — and I wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t for them and all the amazing people who work on our show,” Barkley said after agreeing to the deal, the details of which were first reported by The Post’s Andrew Marchand.

“I’m not gonna lie, though, this is a life-altering deal … and I’m blessed to be able to do live television for a living.”

The NBA Hall of Famer looks to see his show have a better outcome than the British passenger liner that sunk at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean in April of 1912.
