The Don Lemon Show

Tonight, we break down where things stand in Trump's Iran war crisis, because right now, nothing is straightforward.
Is the Strait of Hormuz open… or effectively shut down? And what about the ceasefire?
Meanwhile, the messaging from the administration continues to shift, raising serious questions about strategy, consistency, and whether this is de-escalation… or just a pause before something worse.
So what is actually happening? Are we stabilizing, or slipping right back toward conflict? And is there any real end in sight?

Don sits down with actor, comedian, and author Kenan Thompson for an in-depth conversation about the challenge of creating comedy in a world that often feels stranger than fiction.
From writing for Saturday Night Live to performing in an era of nonstop headlines, Kenan shares how comedians find the line between satire and reality, and what it takes to make people laugh when the news itself feels unbelievable.
They also dive into Kenan's new children's book, Unfunny Bunny: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250364814/unfunnybunny/

This morning, we take a closer look at the growing conversation around Donald Trump’s recent behavior, and why more people are only now starting to question it. A string of late-night posts and public remarks has raised eyebrows, but this isn’t new. This pattern of behavior has been part of Trump’s persona for years.
So why is this suddenly getting more attention? What has changed? Are people finally fed up with the unhinged insanity?

Is the Strait of Hormuz Open? Is it closed? Are negotiations happening? Did they fail? What is the blockade accomplishing? We are constantly left questioning the status of the Iran war when the people making decisions are Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Jared Kushner, & Steve Witkoff. The latest is that negotiations may soon take place in Islamabad, Pakistan, with Vance expected to arrive on Tuesday. To make sense of all of this, Don will be joined by Axios' Dave Lawler and Drop Site News' Julian Andreone. Tune in, Lemon Nation! 🍋
