UPDATE Don Lemon Changing the Name of His Show, Causes an Uproar But He’s Not Going Anywhere

SATURDAY NOON UPDATE

Didn’t mean to set the internet on fire. What I said last night was true. CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is no more. I’ll be back on Monday with my newly named show Don Lemon Tonight. See you Monday at 10pE. pic.twitter.com/89GFXULV9m

Is it the end of “CNN Tonight with Don Lemon”?

Seems so. Don Lemon surprised his audience tonight by signing off saying as much. It was a quick goodbye, and it seemed like Lemon was leaving CNN.

I guess a lot of people thought so. Lemon immediately posted a video to Twitter insisting he’s not leaving the news network, and that everyone had to tune in Monday at 10pm to see what’s going on.

Is the show getting a new title? A new format? Will it feature songs? Lemon produced a wonderful tribute to Marvin Gaye’s 1971 album classic “What’s Going On?”

So what is going on? I guess we’ll have to wait and find out!

Hey everyone. Not what you think. I’m not leaving CNN. Tune in for the handoff on Monday at 10pE and I’ll explain. pic.twitter.com/oOwDferY2i
