On Friday night, CNN Tonight anchor Don Lemon announced that “this will be the last night” of the show he has hosted since 2014.
“It’s been really, really great. this is the last night that will be CNN Tonight with Don Lemon,” the anchor announced, The New York Post reported. “So, I appreciate all the years of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, but changes are coming, and I will fill you in.”
Less than 15 minutes after the show ended, Lemon posted a 24-second video on Twitter clarifying his announcement.
“So I got back down to my office after the show — everybody calm down,” Lemon began. “I didn’t say I was leaving CNN. I just said it was the end of an era for CNN Tonight with Don Lemon.”
“I am not leaving CNN,” Lemon repeated. He then teased the Monday show.
“You will have to tune in Monday at 10 o’clock to see. That’s it. So relax, I’m not leaving,” Lemon added. “I’m not leaving.”
It remains unclear why CNN would remove Lemon from the show and with whom the network will replace him.

Who will Fredo have to talk to now?
Please to not using phrase “well behind” in article about Don Luh-mon. Thank you.
Ugh, faggots make me ill.
Might have something to do with the sexual harassment stuff that’s been talked about with the guy for years
Maybe he was fired for being a homopredator.
Its not a 3PM slot....
No loss - maybe he can get a job at MacDonalds. No probably not qualified. Probably not qualified for anything He certainly wasn’t qualified to host a “news” show even on CNN and the bar doesn’t get any lower than that.
He can always learn to code.
Who are those guys, and why should I care?
The only reason you should care, is that some people (less than a million, probably), actually care what the pickle-smuggler has to say, about anything.
Too many joyrides on the Lolita Express perhaps???
Shep will be bringing up the rear.
