It appeared that Lemon, who is openly gay, was inebriated to some degree during the show, which has in part become the default position of CNN New Year's Eve hosts.
As the year 2021 was soon becoming 2022, Lemon went on a rant about the fact that he is an "ass man" and is all grown up. Judging from his drunken cockalorum, the issue as to whether he is a grownup seemed debatable.
“I don’t give a — [ffffff] what you think about me, what do you think about that? … I’m a grown ass-man. I don’t care what you think about me.” It was obvious from his protestations, that Lemon cares a great deal what others think of him and watching his performance on live TV would have been pitiable, if Lemon weren't so disgusting and fake.
“I am who I am,” Lemon boasted, Popeye style. “I’m a grown, successful black man who a lot of people hate because they’re not used to people seeing me – and people like me – in the position that I am. To be able to share what I … my point of view on television, it freaks people out. And you know what? You can kiss my behind. I do not care. I don’t care. I really don’t care. I have one life and this is who I am and I feel very, um …”
Sloan interjected gushingly, “Blessed.”
“Blessed,” Lemon repeated, intoxicated with his self importance. “And honored to be in this position to be able to do this. So all the hate I get? It’s motivation to me. Bring it. I don’t care.”

He cares. He cares a lot.
And then he said the quiet part out loud: “To be able to share what I … my point of view on television, it freaks people out.”
His opinion? He was telling his lone viewer last August that he was not an opinion host.
"I’m not an opinion host. I give my point of view. … Everything I say, every single night, is based in fact. And if I screw it up, I come back and apologize, and I get it right. … That’s what we do here at CNN. That is the big difference between us and networks that don’t have to operate in that realm."

So when has Lemon given a "fact" for which he later apologized? And what's the deal with the legal case against him when he put his hands down a guy's pants? I thought he was an ass man, like he claims.
Or maybe he's just an ass.
