Why does CNN have Don Lemon on for two hours?

He's their lowest rated host. It is sort of like CNN is intentionally trying to get as low ratings as possible.

by Anonymousreply 41June 24, 2021 7:27 PM

Doesn't much matter who is on CNN. They are just burning electricity.

Tucker Carlson Tonight was most-watched on cable news Friday, with 2.96 million total viewers, and 474,000 in the demo. The Five was second in both total viewers, with 2.54 million, and in the demo, with 361,000. Maddow was third in total viewers, with 2.45 million, and fifth in the demo, with 310,000. Hannity was fourth in total viewers, with 2.34 million, and also fourth in the demo, with 330,000. The Ingraham Angle was fifth in total viewers, with 2.01 million, and third in the demo, with 331,000.

Fox held on to its winning streak in all dayparts, averaging 1.5 million total viewers, and 240,000 in the demo in total day. MSNBC was second in total viewers, with 1.06 million, and third in the demo, with 127,000. CNN was third, averaging 666,000 total viewers and 163,000 in the demo.

In prime time, Fox was first with 2.44 million total viewers – nearly tripling CNN’s total prime time viewership – and 378,000 in the demo. MSNBC was second, with 1.75 million total viewers, and 212,000 in the demo. CNN was third, with 814,000 total viewers, and 205,000 in the demo.

AT&T dumped CNN today. AT&T shares rose sharply.

Sheesh, all this commotion about Don Lemon doing something new at CNN. At first, people thought he was leaving, but he's not leaving. His "new" show tonight wasn't any different than the show he's been doing for the past several years. What's the diff?

And by the way, Chris Cuomo is looking rough. And he needs to shave. The little gray half-hearted goatee whiskers poking out from his chin do nothing for him. And stop telling Don Lemon you love him. It's nauseating.

I like Cuomo with facial hair.

Chris has never told Anderson he loves him though

by Anonymousreply 5May 18, 2021 7:39 AM

He changed the title of the show. Clear attempt to stir up publicity the way he said this is the last episode of whatever it used to be called on Friday. Then took to social media to say he's not leaving CNN tune in Monday to see what he meant.

This was the one thing Trump was right about. Don Lemon is as dumb as a box of rocks.

by Anonymousreply 6May 19, 2021 3:41 AM

Gutfeld slaughters him in the ratings. That must be pretty embarrassing for Lemon.

by Anonymousreply 7May 19, 2021 4:03 AM

Qonservatives have one place to ingest their fake news. Newsmaxipad and OAN are still fringe. Liberals have two fairly mainstream networks to get their news. What's so hard to understand about that. Of course the loons get bigger numbers.

by Anonymousreply 8May 19, 2021 4:10 AM

R8 But even putting together the numbers: Lemon+Hayes doesn't top Ingraham. Cooper+Hayes does not top Carlson. Maddow does give real competition to Hannity though. But Cuomo's rating are pathetic.

And all of Fox primetime...every show...wins the 25-54 demographic. That's pretty amazing.

Is Gutfeld a hit? How does it do in the later half hour against the late night talk shows?

R12 it's not a network show. It's a hit compared to it's completion in the same time slot on cable:

And it was all out in the open anyway.

Lemon broadcast from his home and broke the Covid rules the common crowd were forced to obey.

And of course Lemon choses to live in a town that's just 3 percent African American. I wouldn't expect otherwise.

You people are quite atrocious. Should Don Lemon vacate the field prime time would have a major color problem. Though his ratings may be simple and few I listen because Don Lemon, as a black gay man is calling to me.

He's black.

by Anonymousreply 21June 23, 2021 3:31 PM

He is such an awful reporter and his "woke" persona is fake. He had no problem bashing other black people for years and acting like he was superior because he was on CNN. CNN has always been trash for giving dumb people shows. They never at any point stooped to Fox News level of idiocy but they don't get a pass for their laughable "journalism"

I change the channel the second I see him. A few weeks ago, he was popping up during the daytime to offer his expert advice on other shows since he wrote his book on insights on race relations. I wish CNN would can him and Jim Acosta. Can’t stand him either. Alex Marquadt was nice when he filled in for Acosta.

by Anonymousreply 24June 23, 2021 4:10 PM

Sorry, OP, but starting this morning he's also on in the morning with John Berman and Brianna Keillor for three days pushing his book.

Have you spoken with the Manager yet, OP?

Any time I've seen Tucker clips like the one at R15, he always insists on emphasizing the second syllable of "Lemon". Is that supposed to be funny?

What could he write that would fill a book? Accounts of all the white men he has lusted after or had sex with?

No, it’s supposed to be derisive.

To be expected from a man who confused bowtie-wearing with having a personality.

If that's a problem then replace Lemon with Victor Blackwell. The ratings would probably double.

I bet Blackwell is hung.

Don Lemon who?

Fox News’ late afternoon panel show The Five topped all of MSNBC’s and CNN’s prime time programming in total viewers Tuesday, according to Nielsen data.

With 2.56 million total viewers, The Five had more viewers than each of the competition’s prime time offerings, including each network’s most watched show. MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show averaged 2.27 million total viewers, while CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time had 903,000. The Five also topped nearly all of CNN and MSNBC’s prime time shows in the valuable demo of viewers age 25-54, with 337,000, falling just behind Maddow, which had 345,000 in the demo. (For comparison, the most-watched show in the demo on CNN Tuesday was Anderson Cooper 360, with 234,000.)

Tucker Carlson Tonight again was the most-watched in cable news, with 2.87 million total viewers and 478,000 in the demo. The Five was second in total viewers, with 2.56 million (337,000 in the demo). Hannity was third in total viewers, with 2.5 million, and second in the demo, with 452,000. The Rachel Maddow Show was fourth in total viewers, with 2.27 million, and fifth in the demo, with 345,000. The Ingraham Angle was fifth in total viewers, with 2.04 million total viewers, and fourth in the demo, with 335,000. Gutfeld! was third in the demo, with 356,000 (1.5 million total viewers).

I tried hate watching Jim Acosta over the weekend but turned off after only a few minutes because he was so boring. He is the least charismatic host by far. Amazing how he utilized Trump to gain his 15 minutes.

Don Lemon is beautiful. His face is so pretty and kissable. His face has to be the only reason he has a two hour show. OMG, he's gorgeous when he smiles...

by Anonymousreply 39June 24, 2021 5:54 PM

Anyone with a brain knows the only reason FAUX News has the highest viewership is because most intelligent people do not watch TV news shows because there is little real news on these shows anymore. They've turned into pseudo news/entertainment shows. FAUX News plays right into what the high percentage of dimwits we have in this country want which is a news channel that will agree with their bigoted, anti liberal agenda.

In other words, having the biggest share of viewership is definitely nothing for FAUX News to be proud of. It's like an employer being proud of having the dumbest employees in the industry.
