CNN Tonight, branded as CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, is a late evening program on CNN, focusing on biggest stories. Hosted by the American journalist Don Lemon, airing Monday through Friday evening, and on some nights with a two-hour edition, and first hour of the Monday through Thursday evening editions of the programme is simulcast on CNN International. Frequently the program airs a third or fourth hour in the event of breaking news.
A program of the same name aired on CNN in the spring of 1985, as a replacement for Sandi Freeman until Larry King Live premiered. Another program of the same name debuted in 2001 with Bill Hemmer as anchor, but it was cancelled the same year.
Another program was then debuted on November 16, 2009, and was hosted by John Roberts as an interim replacement for Lou Dobbs Tonight following Lou Dobbs' resignation from the network on November 11, 2009. The program featured reporters who filed reports for Lou Dobbs' program, including Dana Bash, Candy Crowley, and Kitty Pilgrim. It was discontinued after January 15, 2010, due to a scheduling shift which occurred the following Monday, extending Rick Sanchez's hour during the CNN Newsroom block into a two-hour program known as Rick's List, which pushed The Situation Room up an hour into Lou Dobbs' former timeslot. On March 22, 2010, the final hour of The Situation Room was replaced by John King, USA, the official replacement for Lou Dobbs Tonight.
The program was revived as a replacement for Piers Morgan Live amid a new primetime schedule with more taped content.
