Don Lemon has been a friendly face and respected anchor and host on CNN since 2006. Now the host of “Tonight with Don Lemon”, he anchored from CNN’s Atlanta headquarters until 2013, then making the move to New York City. Don became a favorite with viewers for his candidness and dedication to truth in news telling. Along with that, he’s not afraid to have fun on-air! Don memorably got drunk AF during CNN’s 2017 New Years Eve broadcast, throwing back shots with Brooke Baldwin at a bar in New Orleans. He went HAM on air, telling jokes, making confessions about his love life to viewers, and eventually getting his mic cut when he said, “2016 sucked.” Don announced on April 6, 2018 that he and longtime boyfriend, real estate agent Tim Malone, were getting married. Tom proposed on his 35th birthday, putting tags on their two dogs, Buster and Barkley, that read, “Daddy, will you marry Papa?”
