Ousted CNN host Don Lemon is staging a comeback on X with a new show

LA Times  

Don Lemon is back and Elon Musk has got him. The popular CNN anchor who was pushed out of the cable news channel last year during the turbulent reign of former chairman Chris Licht announced Tuesday he will return with a three-times-a-week podcast on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson launched a program on X after his show was pulled by the conservative news channel in April. Megyn Kelly, another former Fox News host, has become a major player at SiriusXM radio, which also carries her podcast. Lemon, who is harsh critic of former President Trump, was moved out of his prime-time role in 2022 and onto a new ensemble morning program after being a solo act for years.
