Mediaite asked Lemon if he would return to the network as an employee, to which he answered carefully.

"Look, I would never say never," Lemon replied. "Most of the people who were involved in my ousting are gone. And so it's kind of the place that it was, you know, before I got there. So that would be interesting."

He added, "If another network called, it would depend on the terms… I don't think I would want to do something every single day, but maybe. It depends on the terms and if it's a great offer, I might go back, but I would still like to continue to do The Don Lemon Show in some form or fashion if that were to happen."
