He gets another chance
Don Lemon is wrapping up his time-out from co-hosting CNN’s morning show and will return to work on Wednesday. Even though it looks like the guy is trying to get himself fired, CNN’s Chris Licht said he’s spoken to Lemon and he’s agreed to go for some training. Licht sent a memo to staff letting them know his decision to let Lemon return to work.
I wonder what “listen and learn” means. There have been stories written about Lemon’s inability to share co-hosting duties with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins. Reports are that his co-hosts complain that Lemon talks over them and tries to lecture them when he thinks he is right about his opinion on a topic, which is always. If true, that would track. Lemon enjoyed the luxury of his primetime show where he didn’t have to share time with co-hosts and essentially said whatever he wanted to say. He was known as an opinionated host who wasn’t shy about spouting off.
As I wrote on Monday, I was disappointed that the women on the show didn’t speak up for Nikki Haley as Don Lemon declared she is past her prime.
