The Don Lemon Show hit 1 million subscribers, affectionately called “Lemon Heads,” offering a strong reminder of how necessary Black queer voices are within the media landscape. Lemon has been synonymous with news for over a decade. You couldn’t turn on CNN without seeing the esteemed journalist’s face. After his departure in 2023, Lemon pivoted to the next news frontier, social media. In 2024, Lemon launched The Don Lemon Show, bringing his trademark journalism to YouTube and other global social media platforms. Lemon leaves no stone unturned on his show, chatting with newsmakers, politicians, and other journalists to dish on everything from pop culture to the state of our democracy. Don Lemon continues to speak truth to power.
