Don Lemon remains one of the biggest voices in television and journalism. Last year, Lemon was let go from CNN after more than a decade, in a pretty messy fallout between talent and network. But in the time since, Lemon was able to carve out his own space on the internet for himself, launching his own series and podcast “The Don Lemon Show.” Still at the forefront of the conversation in the middle of one of the biggest election years in recent memory, Lemon has found a way to relaunch himself and continue to provide impressive and necessary journalistic work into the fold. As he told USA Today last month, “You can always reinvent yourself. That's really the beauty of America, and as long as you just not hang on to the past, or not hang on to whatever mistake you feel that you've made, or even whether you think it's whatever happened to you is warranted or not, that there's always room for reinvention, and there's always room for reciprocity."
