PJ Media ^ | 05/15/2021 | Tyler O' Neill

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.

CNN Tonight With Don Lemon lagged in the ratings in April 2021. The show, which airs from 10 p.m. to midnight on weeknights, had a nightly average of 734,000 viewers last month, well behind Fox News’ 10 p.m. show The Ingraham Angle (2.07 million), Fox News’s new 11 p.m. show Gutfeld! (1.52 million viewers) and MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Brian Williams (1.38 million). It fell well behind the Fox News shows Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.02 million), The Five (2.73 million), and Hannity (2.73 million), along with MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show (2.71 million).

CNN Tonight With Don Lemon dropped down 16 percent from 2020 last month,

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.

One is an overpaid pickle-smuggler, the other is his bitch.

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.
