Don Lemon’s cringe birthday invite video earned the former CNN host plenty of mocking responses on social media.
The 59-year-old posted what many called out as a staged video of him dropping his birthday cake after exiting a store with his three dogs in tow.
Carrying the cake in one hand with no box or packaging, Lemon appears to trip and land the cake face-down on the pavement.
Don Lemon films himself ‘accidentally’ tripping and dropping his birthday cake in a publicity stunt to invite people to his birthday livestream.

Lemon’s birthday party streaming event was held on Sunday, and viewers on his YouTube channel were invited to join “a special edition of Lemon Live, packed with fun, surprises, and maybe even a little birthday tea.”
The “party” antics were even more cringe than the invite.
Ahead of the birthday cake invite, Lemon, who hosted on CNN from 2014 until 2023, was recently seen in the New York City subway trying to make a TikTok video.
Almost 2 years after getting fired by CNN, Don Lemon has been unable to salvage whatever is left of his media career. He has resorted to harassing people on the subway in NYC. Deranged creep is an understatement. pic.twitter.com/KSwS6GvJ5n

The painful cake flop video was blasted on X, where many compared the staged clip to his “journalistic” career.
Oh no
He dropped his birthday prop.

Poor pathetic man.
Such a waste of cake.— Kevin M. Nelson (@KevinMNelsonUSA) March 2, 2025
Nobody cares, and he can’t handle it.

That was the fakest “trip” in the history of fake trips.
He’s always been pathetic, but this is just sad.

Don is that kid at school whose party nobody wanted to go to so his rich parents hired a professional clown hoping it would entice us all.
Don then grew up and became that professional clown.

Yes, most fancy bakeries in NYC just have you walk out with your cake with no box or bag.
And imagine how many homeless hungry might have enjoyed that cake instead of him trashing it.— MSM is complicit in trafficking (@ProudIdealist) March 2, 2025
I am so embarrassed for him. The cringe is just too much
