Well, look who’s back in the news, and not for a glowing career resurgence. Former CNN talking head Don Lemon, once the darling of leftist cable news, has now been reduced to harassing unsuspecting subway passengers in New York City. And no, this isn’t satire. This is actually happening.
A bizarre TikTok video posted by Lemon himself has people wondering if he’s just being quirky or if we’re witnessing a full-blown celebrity meltdown in real time. In the 15-second clip, Lemon is seen running up to subway car windows, banging on them like a man possessed, and shoving his phone in strangers’ faces. What’s on the screen, you ask? A blue-tinted picture of Donkey from Shrek, followed by a similarly colored photo of himself. That’s it. No punchline. No context. Just a former CNN anchor acting like a guy who lost a bet.

The reactions from commuters were priceless. The first person seemed slightly amused, probably assuming Lemon was some street performer trying out a new bit. The second woman? Not so much. She gave him the same look you’d give someone yelling about lizard people on the sidewalk. To top it all off, Lemon then takes off chasing the departing subway car, as if trying to continue his bizarre performance for an audience that just wanted to go home without being roped into his midlife crisis.
And the cherry on top? His caption for the video was simply: “Look at this picture.” No explanation, no self-awareness—just pure, unfiltered weirdness.
Now, this is the same Don Lemon who once sat behind a CNN desk pretending to be a serious journalist. You know, the guy who famously claimed, with a straight face, that the biggest threat to America was white men. The same guy who got benched for suggesting Nikki Haley was past her “prime” at the age of 51. And the same guy who was fired in 2023 after 17 years at CNN because, well, even they couldn’t keep covering for his nonsense anymore.
It’s almost poetic. He went from lecturing Americans every night to running after subway cars, shoving his phone in strangers’ faces. This is what happens when you’re surrounded by people who never tell you, “Hey, maybe this isn’t a great idea.” Lemon was always propped up by CNN’s bubble, and now that it’s popped, he’s out here making TikToks that make people genuinely concerned for his mental well-being.
Maybe Don should spend less time playing subway clown and more time reflecting on why he’s in this situation to begin with. Just a thought.
