Lemon, who had co-moderated a 2020 Democratic Presidential Debate and covered breaking news stories for CNN, including the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the crisis in Ukraine, had said goodbye to his show Don Lemon Tonight in October 2021 before co-anchoring CNN This Morning.
His departure comes as CNN faces a decline in ratings, with CNN This Morning reported to be the network’s lowest-rated morning show in a decade. Despite the messy split, CNN remains committed to the success of CNN This Morning.
