Don Lemon announces new show on X

Don Lemon is coming back with a new show on his terms.

It’s called The Don Lemon Show

The former CNN anchor said in a post on Tuesday that he heard his fans and will be launching “The Don Lemon Show”.

“I’ve heard you … and today I am back bigger, bolder, freer!” Lemon said in a post on X.

“My new media company’s first project is The Don Lemon Show. It will be available to everyone, easily, whenever you want it, streaming on the platforms where the conversations are happening.”

The Don Lemon show will broadcast on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Lemon said he wanted to create a space for honest debate and discussion without the “hall monitors” and encouraged viewers to stay tuned.

Let go from CNN

Lemon was a staple at CNN.

He was let go from the news network in April 2023 after a series of on-air remarks and a scathing report from Variety that recounted an alleged pattern of misogynistic behavior toward colleagues at the network dating back at least 15 years. A spokesperson for Lemon at the time shot down the report in a statement to Yahoo News as “patently false” and “based on unsourced, unsubstantiated, 15-year-old anonymous gossip.”

In a post-CNN exit exclusive interview ABC24, Lemon addressed his departure.

“I don’t believe in platforming liars and bigots and insurrectionists and election deniers and putting them on the same footing as people who are telling the truth, people who are fighting for what’s right, people who are abiding by the constitution,” he said in the interview. “That would be a dereliction of journalistic duty.”
