Poppy Harlow And Kaitlan Collins Address Don Lemon’s Exit On ‘CNN This Morning’
Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins opened CNN This Morning on Tuesday by addressing the exit of co-anchor Don Lemon. “As you may have heard, CNN parted ways with Don Lemon,” Harlow said, as she read CNN CEO Chris Licht’s official statement announcing his exit.
Collins said, “Don was a big part of the 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.” Harlow said. “Don was one of my first friends here at CNN. I’m so thankful to have worked alongside him and for his support for nearly 15 years here, and I wish him all good things ahead.
Kaitlan and I are really proud of this show. We are so proud of the dedicated team that works around the clock to bring you the news every morning, and our priority is you, the viewer, who gratefully welcomes us into your home each morning.” The show opened with a different logo, featuring just the names of Collins and Harlow.
