Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News anchor, has reached out to Don Lemon to offer his congratulations on the latter’s new show on Team X, despite their past conflicts. Don Lemon recently announced his partnership with X, formerly known as Twitter, where he will host a 30-minute show airing three times a week. This move comes after Lemon’s departure from CNN last year. Similarly, Tucker Carlson already has a show on X, making their situations quite similar. The two media personalities were both let go on the same day, and Tucker took the opportunity to extend his well wishes to Lemon, acknowledging the changing landscape by saying, “Congratulations. It’s a new world.”
Key Takeaway
Tucker Carlson congratulates Don Lemon on his new show on Team X, signaling a potential shift in their past conflicts.
Similar Paths, Different Destinations
Despite the exchange of pleasantries, the history between Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon has been marked by tension. Their clashes during their respective cable news shows were well-documented, with Carlson making deliberate mispronunciations of Lemon’s name and engaging in verbal sparring. Lemon, on the other hand, openly criticized Carlson for what he viewed as extreme viewpoints.
A New Chapter
Don Lemon expressed his enthusiasm for joining X as a platform for open and honest discussions, emphasizing the absence of “hall monitors.” However, the coexistence of these two former adversaries in the same space is likely to draw attention and curiosity as to how they will navigate this new chapter in their careers.
