Former CNN anchor Don Lemon returned to the network on Monday night following a monthslong absence.

Lemon was fired by the network last year after comments he made about former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, 52, being past her “prime,” and he had been accused of misconduct toward female co-workers during his time at the network. In returning to CNN on Monday night, Lemon sat down to discuss political events with anchor Erin Burnett, who said it was “wonderful” to see him.
