The comment came as a surprise, given Stewart&#8217;s reputation as a vocal advocate for vets&#8217; rights.<\/p>\n<figure>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/NYPICHPDPICT000009298008-1.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption><span>Embattled CNN host Don Lemon was caught in an apparent hot-mic moment dissing Jon Stewart for having \u201ca lot of leeway with the comedian thing.\u201d<\/span><\/figcaption><figcaption><span>CNN<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lemon attempted to backtrack when he realized he was caught on a live mic, stating that he and his colleagues were discussing how Stewart was more than just a comedian and a &#8220;thought leader.&#8221; He also attempted to clean up the situation by complimenting Stewart&#8217;s interview skills.<\/p>\n<p>Co-anchor Poppy Harlow also defended Stewart, highlighting his history of advocating for veteran&#8217;s rights and the significance of his platform.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Lemon has been involved in various controversies involving his conduct towards female colleagues, leading to a highly criticized Variety expos\u00e9. Lemon is said to be considering legal action against the publication over the report. Earlier this year, he had to apologize for comments he made about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, which were deemed insensitive; he was subsequently required to undergo sensitivity training before being allowed back on-air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN\u2019s Don Lemon appeared to diss Jon Stewart during a hot-mic moment \u2014 saying the former \u201cDaily Show\u201d host has more \u201cleeway\u201d as a comedian following Stewart\u2019s tense exchange with a Pentagon official.
