CNN's Don Lemon Got Hammered On Tequila Shots On New Years Eve, Got A Piercing, And Drunkenly Rambled About Life..."Yeah, I'm Lit."
Huff Po – Don Lemon had an interesting New Year’s Eve.The CNN personality did shots of tequila at The Spotted Cat in New Orleans, where he and Brooke Baldwin were broadcasting the network’s festivities.
Lemon got the party started early, knocking back drinks on TV more than three hours before midnight.
Lemon’s night was just getting started, as he also decided to get either a tattoo or a piercing.
Co-host Kathy Griffin, broadcasting with Anderson Cooper from New York, encouraged him to pierce his nipple.
Lemon seemed open to the idea as he took off his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, but Cooper and Baldwin talked him out of it.
He went for the ear instead.
Lemon also had a soul-baring moment as he announced that he may be open to a relationship and declared that he won’t be “as self-centered” in the coming year.
“Are we going there, right now?” Baldwin asked.
“People are saying that I’m lit,” Lemon said at another point on the show. “Yeah, I’m lit. Who cares?”
…
Listen Don Lemon is the absolute worst. That’s not just my opinion, that’s a like, factual statement confirmed by the overwhelming majority of America. Dude just sucks at his job so so bad. Remember when he asked that chick why she didn’t bite Bill Cosby’s penis off?
Or when he asked if the missing plane could have been swallowed up by a black hole, dead serious?
Just hilariously incompetent.
But if you can’t get down with a dude getting fucking hammertime drunk on NYE on tequila shots, rambling nonsense deep talk about life and love, and just making horrible decisions overall in general, you gotta check your fucking self. Don Lemon the professional may be awful. But Don Lemon the human being who can’t control his drunk ass on New Years Eve is me, is you, is all of us, and he deserves our respect for it.

Think I finally found what I need for my first tattoo.
