Don Lemon to Remain on CNN Morning Show

CNN’s morning show isn’t peeling away from Don Lemon.

The anchor will return to CNN’s new morning program Wednesday, despite delivering a set of controversial remarks last week, the latest maneuver in what has become a more difficult than expected effort by the Warner Bros Discovery-backed outlet to shake up its programming.

“I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation. He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously,” CNN CEO Chirs Licht said in a memo Monday night. “It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes. To that end, Don will return to CNN This Morning on Wednesday.”

Lemon, who has become one of CNN’s best-known anchors after leading a late-evening program that gave him room to talk about controversial issues involving race and culture, has not been on “CNN This Morning” since last Thursday.
