Don Lemon discussed his reaction to being mentioned in Dave Chappelle's "846" special, stemming from the George Floyd protests. Lemon clarified that his call for celebrities to take action was not a literal push to the streets but a plea for influential figures to use their platforms for advocacy. "I wasn't upset at Dave for calling me out," Lemon said, "We even hugged it out at a convention." Addressing Chris Cuomo's legal battle with CNN, Lemon firmly denied accusations that he undermined Cuomo, countering claims that he advised against Cuomo’s severance. Lemon also reflected on recent backlash over his comments on Nikki Haley's proposal for mental competency tests for older politicians. He emphasized that his remarks were misconstrued and stressed his intent was to highlight societal double standards, not to demean women.
