Don Lemon's former co-hosts are wishing him well. During Tuesday morning's broadcast, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins addressed Lemon's firing from the network. «Welcome to, we're so glad you're with us,» Harlow began. «We do begin, though, with news about this show.
As you may have heard yesterday, CNN parted ways with anchor Don Lemon.» Harlow then went on to read part of CNN CEO Chris Licht's statement, which thanked Lemon for his 17 years of contributions and noting that Lemon will «forever be a part of the CNN family.» Collins chimed in, «Absolutely.
Don was a big part of this show over the last six months. He was one of the first anchors on CNN to have me on his show, that's something I'll obviously never forget.
I agree with Chris, we wish him the best.»Harlow echoed the sentiment, adding that «Don was one of my first friends here at CNN.
