Don Lemon Says the ‘Public Misses’ Matt Lauer and ‘Would Accept’ His Comeback After Sexual Misconduct Allegations: ‘Women Love Him … Ratings Would Be Great’


Don Lemon says the public misses disgraced "Today" anchor Matt Lauer and would accept his comeback.

Don Lemon appeared on the “Hollywood Raw Podcast” with hosts Dax Holt and Adam Glyn (via Entertainment Weekly) and shared his belief that “the public misses” Matt Lauer, who served as the co-anchor of NBC’s “Today” from 1997 to 2017. Lemon speculated that “maybe in this whole Trump era” where being “canceled is over” there is a chance for Lauer to return, although he added: “I think it’s more the people who are inside of the business who are concerned about, you know, what happened with Matt. As for Lemon, the former CNN anchor was fired from the network in 2023 after Variety published a report on his alleged sexist behavior towards female colleagues through the years.
