CNN host Don Lemon has been sacked by the cable news network just two months after apologising for on-air comments about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. Chairman and CEO Chris Licht announced after Lemon had co-hosted Monday's show that they had "parted ways". The move follows a discussion on CNN This Morning in February with co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins about the ages of politicians. Lemon issued a statement the same day saying he regretted his "inartful and irrelevant" comments. Lemon used to host the primetime Don Lemon Tonight but moved when the network launched CNN This Morning last November.
