that he is involved with is on CNN now. It is a CNN series that Lemon is doing currently.

https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2021/05/04/cnn-special-whats-going-on-marvin-gayes-anthem-for-the-ages/

"In the CNN Special: What’s Going On: Marvin Gaye’s Anthem for the Ages airing Sunday, May 9th at 8pmET, CNN’s Don Lemon explores the impact and genius of Marvin Gaye, his unprecedented album and the anatomy of several iconic hits from the record that reflect some of the most significant challenges and divisions in the nation today.

What’s Going On became a landmark of American protest music made even more powerful because it came from Motown’s legendary sex symbol, who was not known for being a political figure. Gaye triumphed by landing a platinum album and transforming the most troubling social issues into an emotional appeal.

In this documentary, Lemon conducts rare interviews with music legends Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and speaks to other Motown musicians who were there with Gaye as he recorded What’s Going On, inside the iconic Hitsville studio in Detroit. Lemon also sits down with others who were inspired by this work, such as performing artists Maxwell, Sheila E., singer and actress Andra Day, and filmmakers Spike Lee and Lee Daniels."

I don't know the reason he quit but I can respect it and if he wants privacy I'm good with that too.

I love the guy. I do not watch often, still working a lot of the time. I feel he is honest and kind and firm in his beliefs and that we need more who wear their hearts on their sleeves than we have.

Maybe he's getting a co-host or some other format change.

than either one of their shows are on their own. The best part of that block is the few minutes where Cuomo is handing off to Lemon. They are also tossed together a lot on breaking news, especially later in the night.
