From 1995 through 2005, Hemmer hosted several shows for CNN, including American Morning (initially with Paula Zahn, then with Soledad O’Brien), CNN Tonight, CNN Early Edition, CNN Morning News, and CNN Live Today with co-anchor Daryn Kagan.
Hemmer, who reported from Terre Haute, Indiana, where Timothy McVeigh was executed for his role in the Oklahoma City bombing, played a crucial part in the network’s coverage of the execution in May 2001.
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, he spent a month reporting from the World Trade Center site in New York City. He also covered the early stages of the War on Terror from Khandahar, Afghanistan.
Hemmer covered the mining catastrophe that imprisoned nine men for 77 hours in the summer of 2002 live from Somerset, Pennsylvania.
The accident occurred when a wall separating their tunnel from an abandoned, flooded mine fell away, flooding their work area with millions of gallons of water.
