Don Lemon is the host of The Don Lemon Show daily podcast, with topics spanning everything from social issues and race to pop-culture and current events. With three decades of award-winning journalism and storytelling behind him, he has covered countless global breaking news stories.
Lemon has spent his entire career as a journalist and is the former anchor of Don Lemon Tonight as well as CNN This Morning. His many accolades include an Edward R. Murrow award, multiple Emmys, and a Peabody award, and he has also been honoured for the impact of his work on society. In 2019, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, Queerty named him one of the Pride 50 “trailblazing individuals who actively ensure society remains moving towards equality, acceptance, and dignity for all queer people”.
His memoir Transparent was published in 2011, and in 2021 his book This is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list. It was inspired by what he saw, learned, and felt about the murder of George Floyd.
