Embattled CNN host Don Lemon will return to his morning show on Wednesday following an extended absence amid his controversial remarks about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to a memo from CNN boss Chris Licht to staff.

"I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation. He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously," Licht told staff in the memo obtained by Fox News Digital late Monday .

"It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with a fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes. To that end, Don will return to CNN This Morning on Wednesday," Licht added.

It is unclear whether Lemon will address the controversy to his viewers upon his on-air return.

formal training? Like electrodes attached to his nether regions?

[wiseprince]

An independent thought... can’t have that!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Teach the little bassturd how to be a human being.

[BrexitBen]

Imagine that.

Don Lemon has to undergo “ sensitivity training “.

Pinch me, I’m dreaming.

He has agreed to participate in formal training

His dirt is in Boss Licht's hole ?

[Charles Martel]

I’ll assume the “formal training” is completely fictional, unless Lemon’s personal struggle sessions are televised.

[Rennes Templar]

Training. What a joke.

[TigersEye]

So he’ll be able to poop on a newspaper now?

[Mark17]

Too many levels of protection.

[TigersEye]

Good luck with that training.

You can't fix stupid.

Can a monkey be formally trained?

Is Don Lemon some kind of “Barack, the Magic Negro” to CNN?

[Karliner]

Are they going to look for any amperage in his brain?

[Libloather]

Who did he have to sleep with to... Nah, don’t really wanna know.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I guess Lemon’s rehabilitation reprogramming is called “Lemon Aid” (no sugar added).

[DannyTN]

I went looking to see what got him in trouble. Is it this...

“Lemon was criticized for his remarks that Nikki Haley, a politician who recently announced her plan to run for president in 2024, and other women over the age of 50 are not in their prime”

Haters going to hate.

Knowing they’re not going to fire him, I say he was angling to get canned by talking trash on the air so they’d have to write him a big check to go away. Called his bluff.
