| Description | Don Lemon is having a coming out party--and this one has nothing to do with the CNN weekend anchor's recent announcement that he's gay.
Lemon--who came out of the closet in a memoir published in May--was the focus of a "Daily Show" segment last week.
"Every so often a news anchor ends up becoming a story," Stewart said. "Dan Rather roughed up on the floor of the Democratic Convention, Marv Albert having a sex scandal, Barbara Walters causing the destruction on the Hindenburg. But lately watching CNN I've noticed something brewing there newsworthy as well."
Stewart then introduced the segment--"CNN anchor appears to not care for CNN"--with a clip of Lemon blissfully dismissing a CNN segment about a study that calculated the real-life cost of Harry Potter's education to be more than Harvard's. Stewart suggested CNN producers create a show to showcase Lemon's hard journalism chops called "Lemon Harangue." (Earlier in the week, Lemon was name-checked on "The Colbert Report" by Stephen Colbert failing to recognize a guest's vampire fangs.) |
