Don Lemon Has Melt Down, Screamed At Co-Host Kaitlan Collins For ‘Interrupting’ Him, Rattled Crew And Was Told To Take Day To ‘Cool Off’: Report

Fake News CNN’s new morning show is sinking in the ratings and tensions are boiling over on the set. According to a bombshell report, Don Lemon screamed at co-host Kaitlan Collins after the show’s Thursday, Dec. 8 broadcast accusing the rising Fake News CNN star of “interrupting” him on air.

The New York Post is reporting the incident left the cast and crew rattled and the damage has not been repaired. “At this point, Kaitlan wants to be on set with Don as little as possible,” a source told the Post. “It’s messy.”

“Don screamed at Kaitlan, who was visibly upset and ran out of the studio,” a source told the Post about the meltdown. Lemon who is rumored to be on thin ice at Fake News CNN after being demoted from his primetime show was reportedly told by Fake News CNN CEO Chris Licht ‘to take the next day off to cool off.’

Last month, Eric Hall, executive producer of “ Fake News CNN This Morning,” was removed from his post amid the ratings slump and moved to a new role at the 11 p.m. hour of “ Fake News CNN Tonight.”

The ratings have been a disaster for the new show falling every month which is always a bad sign for a new show.

According to Fox News:

Fake News CNN’s morning show centered around Don Lemon has been on a steady ratings decline through its first three months, shedding additional viewers from its audience each time the calendar flips.

In November, “ Fake News CNN This Morning” averaged an underwhelming 454,000 total viewers. The following month, it managed only 389,000 in December. “ Fake News CNN This Morning” then dropped to 373,000 average viewers in January, shedding 18% of November’s audience. 

“New Day” averaged 413,000 daily viewers in 2022 before it was canceled to outdraw its Lemon-helmed replacement’s January viewership by 10%. 

It was much of the same among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54, as “ Fake News CNN This Morning” managed only 74,000 average viewers among the critical category in January for a 25% drop compared to its launch month.

As I’ve said before. Most in Fake News CNN mgmt. knew this combination would fail and Don’s ego couldn’t handle going from his own show to sharing. They will fire him based on his behavior and ratings. Stay tuned.
