Longtime CNN host Don Lemon was fired at the cable news network back in April, a little over two months after apologizing to viewers for on-air comments about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. The host said in a Twitter post that he was stunned by the move and said he was informed by his agent and did not have a direct conversation with CNN management about the move. Lemon had been with the cable news network for 17 years. CNN did not provide a public explanation for Lemon’s departure, but his ratings had been going downhill for a long time.
In mid-February, Lemon drew widespread condemnation for saying the 51-year-old Haley was not “in her prime” and later said he regretted the comment.
It was a long time coming, and My only disappointment is he won’t get to make a fool of himself on New Year’s Eve this year 😆
