CNN welcomed Lemon in September 2006. He has been vocal in his employment at CNN, challenging the network in public and criticizing the condition of cable news.
His passionate thoughts on how the African American community might better its members’ lives have also generated some controversy.
The Eleventh Hour and The Don Lemon Show, two prime-time programs Lemon hosts, were among the first to be piloted by CNN in 2014.
After Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished, Lemon started a unique, nightly program where aviation specialists discussed and analyzed the incident.
Following the discontinuation of Piers Morgan Live, CNN realigned its schedule, and the news show CNN Tonight took its place.
Lemon would subsequently take over as the hour’s regular anchor on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon.
