Don Lemon is insisting CNN didn’t demote him by pulling the plug on his primetime program “Don Lemon Tonight” and moving him to an ensemble morning show.
The CNN anchor addressed rumors circulating that his new morning show slot on the network was a step down from primetime.insisted Thursday he had not been demoted after the network announced he will move from primetime’s"Don Lemon Tonight" to an ensemble morning program later this year.
"This is an extremely embarrassing demotion for Don Lemon, and likely a prelude to his termination. When this new morning show launches and flounders in the ratings, which it will, he’ll be the first to go. CNN had tried for years to fix its morning programming and Don Lemon is not the answer," a longtime network morning show producer told Fox News Digital.
CNN CEO Chris Licht announced the long-awaited "re-imagined" morning show this week at CNN, tapping Don Lemon, Kaitlan Collins and Poppy Harlow to co-host a show to replace struggling "New Day."
