After 8 years in primetime news and just a short year and five months of hosting his own primetime show at CNN, Don Lemon bid an emotional farewell, and hopes he made us all “proud.” (Read More Here).
On Friday night (October 7), the 56-year-old CNN anchor reflected on the last eight years in primetime news and gave an emotional speech during the final episode of ‘Don Lemon Tonight.’
Now, it is reported that Lemon is set to join CNN’s morning show as a co-anchor, alongside Kaitlan Collins and Poppy Harlow. Lemon, who first began working at the network as a correspondent back in 2006, joined as a primetime news host on ‘CNN Tonight’ in 2014. Then in May 2021, he made his debut on his own CNN show ‘Don Lemon Tonight’ — where he promised to “tell the truth, whether you like it or not.”
During his final episode, Lemon said, “[It’s] not goodbye, but certainly the end of an era as we sign off this last broadcast of ‘Don Lemon Tonight,’ more than eight years, thousands of hours of live TV, historic moments and tough conversations … It’s a bittersweet moment for me, but it’s not going to be a sad moment. I’m not going to be sad about it.” According to some reports, low ratings were an alleged factor in Lemon’s transition.
