And guess what? There might be another liberal pundit joining the show, potentially the first male host they've ever had.
According to a new report, Don Lemon is apparently going all out to snag a spot on "The View," even though he got the boot from CNN in April due to issues with his fellow female co-hosts.
Now Lemon's convinced that he's gonna thrive on a show surrounded by a table full of women. Kinda weird, if you ask me...
From OK! Magazine:
The fired CNN star recently held a party for Sunny Hostin's book release and invited her colleagues, and an insider claimed he spent the night "all over Sunny" and Joy Behar since he "wanted to make sure" they knew "he was responsible for every detail of the party."
"Don's pushing himself with ALL of the women on the show," the insider told a news publication, adding he's already pitched the idea to Whoopi Goldberg as well.
However, his past is proving difficult to shake, as the scandal that led to him being ousted from CNN was over ageism and misogyny.
"Don is trying to convince the ladies that all the show needs is a guy's voice, but he's already proven he doesn't play well with others," the insider pointed out. "They're not quite ready to welcome him with open arms — no matter how many parties he throws."
As OK! reported, Lemon, 57, came under fire after declaring Nikki Haley, 51, shouldn't run for president due to her age. "Nikki Haley is not in her prime, sorry," he said on-air. "A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s."
The journalist was off the network for a few days and then issued an apology to the public. "The reference I made to a woman's 'prime' this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it," he expressed. "A woman's age doesn't define her either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my life who prove that every day."
Seems like Lemon is pretty desperate for a job and some sort of redemption, especially with older women.
Ironically, the cancel culture that Don and his co-hosts over at CNN championed is now turning around to bite him in the rear.
