‘The Don Lemon Show’ in tailspin after being dumped by Elon Musk: ‘Nobody is watching’
NY Post ^ | March 26, 2024 | By Alexandra Steigrad

Don Lemon’s new online show is grappling with a fast-shrinking audience after he was unceremoniously dumped by Elon Musk — and the pittance in revenue may not even cover the costs of his bare-bones production, The Post has learned.

The former CNN anchor — who had demanded millions of dollars, a flight on a SpaceX rocket and a Cybertruck before being fired by Musk’s social network X following a testy sit-down interview — suffered a massive decline in viewers for the second episode of “The Don Lemon Show.”

“Nobody is watching,” one media watcher told The Post. “Poor Don, he doesn’t realize people watched the first interview because of Elon — not him! Watching the Elon interview reminded everyone of how much they dislike Don.”

Having no audience has never been an issue for these no-talent morons before. There was always some leftist putz that would put up the $$$ to keep their propaganda spew afloat. Air America was one I recall, but many others followed. I’m sure the ChiComs will step up and help Lemon out any day now.

Does Don Lemon think he draws an audience?

Didn’t he get demoted from prime time on CNN to a minor morning slot in part due to poor ratings?

Well, now we see Don just isn’t that popular. He’s got a bruised ego, I’m sure.......

Methinks there’s probably a reason he’s not being watched. I think he suffers from two problems: 1) he lies, and 2) he’s an arrogant, unlikable, SOB.

When Musk said to Lemon that DEI results in lower academic standards and the promotion of less qualified people, Lemon said, "What makes you think that?"

"Well, Don, your stupid question makes me think that."

Who wants to watch that arrogant a-hole? And no so-called media experts were able to determine that?

Why is anyone giving him a 4th, 5th, 6th chance when it’s the same faceplant everywhere he goes? Unreal.

And a sore butt, but not from poor ratings!

Presently, I have a theory that many of these “less qualified” people don’t quite grasp that being awarded the job, despite not having the talent or work ethic to do the job is no guarantee of success.

These people think that “acclaim, power, and respect” are automatically awarded along with the title. Witness the behavior, hubris, and arrogance of Fani and Letitia.

The left strikes again.

Not even Pfizer wants to advertise on his show?

He had a real chance to ask unique thought provoking questions with, if not the richest, surely the most interesting man in the world today and totally blew it. He could have talked about cars or rockets or brain implants or the vision for X in 2030 or Mars or why Elon thinks the earth population can double and how to organize society … instead he went into dumb crap about censorship and personal tweets and affirmative action. Don didn’t even do basic background information or watch previous Musk interviews. Don has the brains of an ant. He blew his best chance to garner an audience out of the gate.

There's even a name for it. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect.
