She's okay as a guest. As a host? Tedious. She's got a voice like a rusty door and talks so fast she seems to be racing the clock instead of conducting an interview.

Don Lemon is better, but that's not saying much. He spends way too much time mugging instead of just hosting. There's an arrogance to him that seems born of insecurity, like he has to keep reminding us he has his own show. It was worse before they booted Cuomo off CNN, which is interesting because after their nightly love fests, now it's like Cuomo never existed.

The thing is, I agree with many of the positions taken on the show. But it can painful to watch and listen to. It doesn't help they show the same commercials over and over at the breaks.

OMG, just when I didn't think it could get worse. Alisyn Camerota was always pretty vapid, like too airheaded even for Good Morning America, but her hosting the show has caused it to drop even more IQ points.

Case in point, Ron Brownstein, Charlie Dent, and Molly Jong-Fast, in a surprisingly diversity-free panel in 2022, get asked about an NYC professor being fired for "being too tough." Two of these three geniuses say they don't know enough about the topic before yammering on anyway, mostly talking about college students as customers. What? If you don't know anything about the topic, why are you even there? Then, Camerota, in her weird, stoopy, curled lip way wants to talk about some awful trash show called White Lotus. What is this, People Magazine?

No wonder the ratings are in the toilet. They're going to keep disappearing.

Actually winner of the "Worst" journalist of the year by Columbia Journalism Review. Some of his accomplishments include:

1, telling a victim of Bill Cosby, "You know, there are ways not to perform BLANK if you don't want to do it. ... Meaning the use of teeth, right?"

2, during the non stop MH370 coverage on CNN back in 2014, he tried to perpetuate the jet could have been swallowed by a black hole anomaly. Seriously?

According to USA TODAY, this is what lead to his notorious award.

What I see every night is an angry man who is just not professional.

Loved the fight with Matt Lewis a few monthes ago. Matt who is pretty much politically agnostic and normally sides with common sense over partisanship had a minute long yelling match with Lemon. Matt wouldnt accept Don's slant on something and Don couldnt accept that.

Unwatchable unless you want one side of the story and nothing else.

This clown is unbelievably ignorant. Where did he get his degree (or does he have one)? We don't need this kind of leftist garbage being spewed by morons like him.

Unfortunately this show is a complete joke. I used to enjoy CNN and still will watch other journalists on CNN however Mr Lemon is not making this company look good.

I've never seen so many lies come out of one persons mouth.

When life gives me lemons... I change the channel. This show is horrible. Don Lemons is probably the worst anchor in CNN history. He's awful. He's biased, and doesn't report the truth. He's so anti republican it stinks.

He's the worst clown - what else more is there to say

Its refreshing to see someone who is not afraid to report the truth. Nice to see that CNN can not be intimidated

This is the worst example of journalism I have EVER seen.

Zero journalism provided. Only saw a garbage show. Find a new host.

Unlike the previous reviews, this will not be hateful, but I will try to be objective. I did enjoy this show until I discovered the competition on MSNBC a few months ago. The 11th Hour and Rachel Maddow are so much better than anything on CNN. There is no comparison. I tried watching CNN Tonight on 8/20/19 and it was a sad experience. First there was the handoff between Cuomo and Lemon which never made any sense to me, followed by Don's take where he railed about Trump's attempt to purchase Greenland. This puzzled me, since of all the major events of the day, I thought this was the least important. But, no, after a commercial break, there was another discussion of this issue with Philip Bump and Vivian Salama followed by another commercial break and then Lemon attempted ask Cory Booker about Greenland but Booker wisely said it was a silly topic and directed the conversation to gun control. When I saw that Lemon's next guest was Anthony Scaramucci, I turned my television off. Who cares what a serial liar has to say about another serial liar?

I am not an expert on what makes a good presenter on tv but something with Don Lemon is off. Wether it is his way of presenting in the show, the way he conduct his interviews with his guests or the way he talks, it is just freaking annoying.

This isn't news; this is brainwashing. Don Lemon consistently attempts to brainwash and indoctrinate you into believing the left-wing agenda. He so cleverly packs his brainwashing into his show. Do not listen to people like Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo, who infiltrate the media with their lies. Lemon can even get too aggressive and argumentative with his guests. He argues with them rather than cooperate with their politically different opinions. However, he instead creates a mindless argument out of an interview that could be calmer than it culminates to. When you are a news anchor and reporter, and you are interviewing somebody, DO NOT turn the interview into a meaningless confrontation. It is completely unnecessary and could be easily avoided by simply expressing your understanding of one's opinion, whether you stand in agreement with their opinion or not. Don Lemon does not accept the facts neither understand or even listen to them. He simply agrees with his opinion and his opinion only, which indicates a very close-minded view of politics. He does not report the truth not because he doesn't know the truth, but because he doesn't care about the truth, and only cares about his own fabrication of the truth. He, and also the CNN/MSNBC news anchors as a whole, do not report the truth and instead, deceive you with their factually and statistically incorrect opinions. Their version of the truth is not the actual truth, it is simply their personal opinion and not the truth. Bottom line, DO NOT watch Don Lemon or any of the CNN/MSNBC news anchors. They are simply brainwashing you and cannot accept the facts. I wish I could give this show 0 stars but I will have to give it a star, which it is not even deserving of, but nonetheless, I will have to give this show 1 star. Shame on CNN and MSNBC for not reporting the truth!

That about sums it up. Don Lemon is here to make sure racism stays alive and people stay angry. One-sided and absent of any objective journalism. Don has decided.....And he is here to tell you what to think, as well. Save your racism for someone else, Don. This independent will be voting Republican until the Democratic party looks sane, again ( which will likely be never).

Worst show on the history of TV shows. Promotes fake news and his hate agenda 24/7. Disgraceful. They call CNN the Enemy of the People for absolute obvious reason.
