Don Lemon bid farewell to his primetime show on CNN after more than eight years of hosting Don Lemon Tonight. The television presenter got emotional during his farewell recalling all the ups and do…
on the cable news network. The host will be joined by Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins in a revamped morning program that will replace. It’s a bittersweet moment for me, but it’s not going to be a sad moment, I’m not going to be sad about it,” he said after a montage of moments from the show’s history. “I’m just going to miss working with all of the great people who really work their butts off every single day to put this show on the air.
Lemon said he was “grateful” to his crew that works long and later hours to put on a show while missing milestones and moments with their family. The news anchor recalled a moment after his sister died when his crew came together to help him get through the difficult time. The CNN star also admitted that he “was not always perfect, because no one is perfect,” adding, “There are immense pressures that come with this job, and in particular, this time slot at 10 p.m., when people are going to bed. So sometimes, all I could do, I’m gonna be honest with you, is just smile and just get to the commercial break sometimes.”
“Sometimes it was exhausting because some of the things that we discuss here are so personal and so consuming. So, I hope I made you proud, and I thank you for tuning in all these years, and I hope that you’re going to join me in the morning. So, I will simply say, goodnight and I will see you soon,” he ended.
