British commentator and talk show host Piers Morgan ripped former CNN host Don Lemon a new one during an interview on Thursday on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
While the interview started cordially enough, it began to go by the wayside when Morgan started questioning Lemon about his termination from CNN in 2023.
“I don’t appreciate being ambushed!”

Recall that Lemon was fired for saying on live TV that then-GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley wasn’t “in her prime” age-wise.
After Morgan played a clip of Lemon making the remark, he asked the former CNN host whether he’d “say that again” and what had led him “to say that” in the first place.
Lemon immediately took offense and accused Morgan of having “ambushed him” with a topic that he wasn’t prepared to discuss.
“When I asked you [earlier] what subjects you wanted to talk about [on the show], you know what you said to me?” Lemon asserted.
“You said, ‘I want to talk to you about freedom of speech in America and the response to Charlie Kirk’s death.’ Not once did you mention that we were going to talk about CNN or whatever. And had I known that, I probably wouldn’t have accepted this interview,” he added.
“I thought you would stick by the subjects you told me you would talk about rather than try to ambush me with something. I don’t appreciate being ambushed here,” he continued.
Morgan pushed back by alleging that Lemon had brought up the topic of cancel culture earlier in the interview (likely regarding the leftists being fired for celebrating Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination).
“Don, hang on one second,” he said. “Let’s just be crystal clear about what’s just happened. You brought up the subject of cancel culture. I asked you, ‘Did you feel your departure from CNN was an example of that?’ and you answered the question.”
The two men then began speaking over one another for a couple of seconds.
“Piers, I don’t like arguing like this. I’m not going to get into an argument with you,” Lemon said as Morgan began speaking over him. “So if you’ll allow me, please to … Did you invite me here to interrupt me, or are you going to allow me …”
Morgan then unleashed on Lemon.
” I think you’re being a complete dick, if I’m honest with you,” he said. “I do!”
“OK, well that’s very kind and respectful of you,” Lemon sarcastically replied.
“It wasn’t intended to be kind or respectful,” Morgan said
“I could respond in kind, but I won’t because I think that I am above that,” Lemon replied.
“You can say what you like about me, I don’t care,” Morgan responded. “I don’t understand why you’re playing the victim card when you yourself mentioned cancel culture.”
Lemon fired back by accusing Morgan of not being “a respectful journalist and host.”
“I don’t think I’ll take lectures on being a respectful journalist from you, Don. I won’t!” Morgan pushed back. “I don’t know why you’ve gone on this weird rant. I don’t understand any of it. Why have you done this weird reaction?”
After the interview, Morgan mocked Lemon on X:

Lemon fired back with an Instagram post in which he wrote that he felt embarrassed for Morgan.
Look:
So what did Morgan do in turn?
He mocked Lemon EVEN MORE:
Don Lemon is going absolutely berserk about me on his Instagram story… which makes me think he’s panicking about how he comes over in our interview that drops on @PiersUncensored tonight.
He’s right to panic… he comes over a whiny, touchy, arrogant little d*ck.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 18, 2025
Later during the interview with Morgan, Lemon denied that he was fired for having spoken about Haley.
However, sources inside CNN told the Daily Mail that at the time of the scandal, several of CNN’s female employees had threatened to quit unless Lemon was fired.
“You’re a journalist and you don’t want to talk about a massive story that involved you?”
Piers Morgan questions Don Lemon as he says he doesn’t know why he was fired from CNN.
