In the wake of a bizarre exchange on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner criticized Don Lemon for being privileged, rich and entitled.
On the latest episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Lemon appeared alongside Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at New York University’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business.
The three were discussing pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses across the country and how they are forcing students to deal with “discomfort.”
Bill Maher quipped about the students’ discomfort: “Are you talking about living in a tent?”
The audience laughed at Maher’s joke.
Lemon claimed, “I’m not like you. I’m a black gay man, so I live in an uncomfortable space all the time.”
Maher asked, “What’s going on? Is it an uncomfortable space?”
Lemon responded, “You know, I’m usually the only person of color in the room.”
Maher then joked, “There’s only three of us here, so come on.”

In her partnership with Company X, Lemon made a long list of demands, including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million advance on top of her $8 million salary, and a private jet trip to Las Vegas with her husband in exchange for hosting the show. It is said that he had a list. She also allegedly ordered Lemon a stake in a multibillion-dollar company and the right to approve changes to X’s policies related to news content.
Lemon was previously fired from CNN in 2023 after a confrontational moment on air. Lemon had a tense confrontation with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy over racial issues.
