In a display of mischievous humor that some may find distasteful, Patrick Bet-David, the entrepreneur behind Valuetainment, decided to exploit April Fools’ Day to mock the faltering career of Don Lemon. On Monday, he posted an announcement on X stating that Lemon was coming aboard his team. This turned out to be nothing more than a ruse—a typical April Fools’ deception.
With a flair for the dramatic and misleading, Bet-David’s post insinuated success where there is none: “After a stellar interview with Elon Musk, we are proud to announce that Don Lemon has joined Valuetainment. We have met all his modest demands. We know many of you were hoping for this announcement. It is official! The future looks bright.” The reality could not be more different.
The supposed joke underscores Lemon’s recent struggles since his transition to X. His new venture, “The Don Lemon Show,” began with some promise but rapidly descended into obscurity following an exclusive interview with Musk. Viewer interest plummeted drastically after this initial episode.

Lemon’s premiere episode initially garnered 2 million impressions—a fleeting moment of success for the former CNN host before viewership took a nosedive below 70,000 impressions. This decline paints a bleak picture for any potential recovery or relevance in the media landscape—a landscape where conservative voices continue to resonate more strongly with Americans.
Indeed, not every Lemon leads to lemonade—a fitting adage for the sour trajectory of his show’s appeal.
Congratulations on the additional 20k views he will get you.
