Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has welcomed former CNN anchor Don Lemon to “a new world” of journalism on X, the platform once known as Twitter.
Carlson’s welcome to Lemon comes after the ex-CNN anchor announced Tuesday that he is launching The Don Lemon Show through his own media company and that it will be available on X. Lemon’s announcement comes after Carlson launched his own show on X, of which he has released over 60 episodes since mid-2023.
“Congratulations,” Carlson wrote in sharing Lemon’s post. “It’s a new world. Welcome.”
The welcoming statement from Carlson comes after both he and Lemon were fired from their respective networks on the same day, April 24, 2023.
In announcing his new show, Lemon said that he has become aware of the importance of debate and discussion “without the hall monitors” and that his new show will be “just the beginning.” He also described X as “the biggest space for free speech in the world.”
Lemon’s show is one of 10 that X has in a deal with Range Media Partners unveiled Tuesday. Other shows X will host include one hosted by Jim Rome, a former Fox Sports host, and another hosted by Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat and 2020 presidential candidate.

Since leaving Fox News, Carlson has launched his show on X, in which he has interviewed multiple famous people, including commentator Alex Jones, influencer Andrew Tate, and former President Donald Trump.
Carlson has also launched his own streaming platform, the Tucker Carlson Network, which features the same shows on his X account. The platform also has other features locked behind a paywall, including a feature called “Ask Tucker,” on which users can ask Carlson for personal advice.
