From The Archives: Don Lemon Writes About God

One need not look very far to see that the television landscape has rapidly changed in the last few years, with an influx of new streaming platforms and shifting audience viewing patterns. Another notable upheaval: In 2023, Don Lemon, the Edward R. Murrow and Emmy Award-winning journalist and longtime host of "CNN Tonight with Don Lemon," was let go from CNN after seventeen years with the network. Following his exit, Lemon took time for introspection, resulting in his new book, "I Once Was Lost: My Search for God in America." The work is a deeply personal exploration of his spiritual journey and the role of religion in the country. It is Lemon's third book, following "Transparent" and the New York Times bestseller "This Is The Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism." Earlier this year, the anchor launched his new endeavor, "The Don Lemon Show," on YouTube and podcast platforms. Host Alec Baldwin speaks with Don Lemon about the shakeup at CNN, the role of his faith in trying times, and the importance of the press and the First Amendment in a free society. Originally aired October 21st, 2024.
