Don Lemon expressed his solidarity with Matt Lauer, the former 'Today' show host who faced sexual harassment allegations and lost his job at NBC in 2017. During a podcast episode, Lemon described Lauer's ongoing popularity with the public, noting that fans still approach him for photographs and express admiration. Lemon suggested that while the public might embrace Lauer's potential return to media, particularly digital platforms, industry insiders are hesitant due to his past controversies. He believes that Lauer could be successful if the public sentiment were prioritized in his comeback.
"I think that if he could come back to digital, he can set his own course. But I only got to know Matt after, you know, the whole situation happened."
"Whenever I see Matt out and about... people love him. Women love him. They're like, 'Man, oh my God, can I get a picture? I love you. I miss you on television.'"
"Maybe there is a way that he'll come back, but I think it's more of the people who are inside of the business who are concerned about, you know, what happened with Matt."
"I think the public... I think the general public would accept - just me - would accept Matt back. And I think people would watch him and I think the ratings would be great."
