Howard Stern — known for churning out any opinion that crosses his mind — had an interesting take on the firing of Don Lemon and Jeff Shell, which he shared with his listeners during his show on Tuesday. “Don Lemon got fired over at CNN and then some other guy at NBC, Jeff Shell, who’s an executive, got fired,” Stern said during his radio show (via Mediate). “And I’m like, Jeff Shell’s so lucky, and so is Don Lemon, because Tucker Carlson getting fired on the same day you get fired — you barely make news, like no one will even notice. He’s lucky.”

Stern also speculated about the reasoning being the cable news giant’s decision to fire Lemon and Shell. “I’ll tell you what happened,” Stern said. “Tucker Carlson got fired and CNN called a quick meeting, said, ‘Hey listen, let’s go fire Don Lemon and let’s get rid of Jeff Shell too because now is the time to get rid of everybody cause no one’s gonna really make a big deal about it.” Well, that’s certainly one way to look at things. With that said, it’s unlikely that Lemon shares the same outlook as Stern, considering Closer reported he was raking in $4 million per year in his role at CNN.
