ATLANTA, GA — (02-01-22) — Openly Gay CNN prime time news anchor Don Lemon is getting a weekly show on CNN’s upcoming streaming service.
CNN confirmed to JRL CHARTS LGBT Politics that “The Don Lemon Show” is set to premier on CNN+ and feature a studio audience.
“There are no limits to the conversation as Don Lemon and his studio audience take on the most talkable news stories each week,” the network said.
“I’ve been enamored by talk shows since I was a child. I’d hide the remote and made my siblings watch Johnny Carson. I wanted to be him,” said Lemon of his new program on CNN+. “And then I discovered Phil Donahue and it all clicked. ‘Caller, you’re on the air.’ A talk show centered around news, current events and everyday provocative topics – I watched every single day! Same with Oprah. Time now for this generation’s version of that great tradition. This is my opportunity to dig deeply into the topics I’m passionate about and not limited to the news of the day.” said Lemon.
Lemon will continue to host his primetime show on CNN’s cable channel and has been with the 24-hour news network since 2006.
CNN is the latest news network to make a big push into the streaming market with shows coming from Jake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper.
CNN+ is set to go live this spring.
