Don Lemon, the prominent CNN host, announced that he has been fired after 17 years at the cable news network.
Prominent CNN host Don Lemon on Monday announced that he has been fired after 17 years at the cable news network.. “I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.”Don Lemon is back on ‘CNN This Morning.’ But can he last?
The CNN anchor, who will return to the air Wednesday after making offensive comments about women, will enter a sensitivity training program. “CNN and Don have parted ways,” CNN Chief Executive Chris Licht said in a statement. “Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.
Lemon was briefly suspended in February after he made offensive comments about when a woman is past her “prime” while speaking about 51-year-old Republican former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. In an unusual move, Licht told staff in a memo announcing Lemon’s return from suspension that the anchor would undergo “formal training” — most likely diversity, equity and inclusion instruction from parent company Warner Bros. Discovery’s human resources department.
