Stephen Colbert had some harsh words about Don Lemon’s outfit CNN this morning. The evening program presenter has increased The Late Show to voice his grievances about Lemon’s attack, which he said was inappropriate for the newscast.
Although Colbert said Lemon is “a dear, dear friend” and that he loves watching him on CTM, strangers with candy Alum said he was “surprised” that Lemon wore a jacket over a gray top and hoodie.
“I think a great man once said, ‘What the hell is this?'” Colbert added. “I know they want to add some comedy to CNN and it’s hilarious, but how do you break the news in that outfit? How can you even talk about tragedy when you’re wearing it, because what could be more tragic than that look that he had this morning?
Colbert continued to mock Lemon’s outfit, saying he looked like a high school teacher who went for a run and then got a little hungry and stopped at a restaurant, but it was too nice a restaurant and they were like: “Sir, you have one.” to wear a coat.’ Then he stole a jacket from an extra boys and dolls.”
Addressing Colbert’s criticism on CNN’s morning show, Lemon said he “loves Stephen Colbert” and said he “didn’t expect that reaction” from him.
“First of all, it’s not a sweatshirt or anything. It was a hoodie,” Lemon explained to co-host Kaitlan Collins. “I don’t know if I want to go into that anyway because it really surprised me.”
Lemon said he kept wearing different outfits on the morning show, and when he took the job, they asked him to “be more casual.” The TV journalist said that “people don’t wear suits that often” and “a lot has changed since the pandemic”.

Lemon said he now “gets” that his female peers are criticized for their outfits.
“If Barack Obama can be criticized for wearing a brown suit, if Volodymyr Zelenskyy can fight a war in a hoodie, if Trayvon Martin can start a revolution in a hoodie, then Don Lemon can put the word in a hoodie distributed,” he added. until then.
Collins asked Lemon if he would wear this outfit again and he replied, “Sure and I would wear it again, would wear a version of it.”
