In a recent episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," former CNN host Don Lemon found himself in a humbling situation after invoking his race and sexual orientation during a discussion.

The conversation, which also featured New York University professor Scott Galloway, centered on the ongoing anti-Israel demonstrations occurring on numerous college campuses across the country.

The trio unanimously condemned the protests as antisemitic, with Lemon characterizing them as a "fad." Despite this, Lemon suggested that the demonstrations could serve as a valuable learning opportunity for the participating students. "I’m not minimizing what’s going on, but it teaches some of these students to deal with discomfort," Lemon stated.

While Galloway and Maher concurred to a degree, Lemon attempted to expand on his point. "Listen, I'm different than you guys. I'm a Black gay man, so I live in uncomfortable spaces all the time. And I think that’s a good lesson for college students," Lemon explained.

Maher, seeking clarification, asked, "Why? What’s going on?" Lemon responded, "I'm often the only person of color in the room." Maher retorted, "There's only three of us here. Come on," prompting laughter and applause from the audience.

Before his appearance on "Real Time," Lemon was mentioned by one of Maher’s guests in 2023 following his contentious comments about then-Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. "As Don Lemon told us on CNN, women actually can't run for president because he said we're past our prime once we get to our 40s. But since you have to be 35 to run, it's like this really tiny window between 35 and 40," ABC News contributor Sarah Isgur quipped.

At the beginning of his Friday show, Maher criticized the anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests in an extensive monologue, describing them as the result of "activism merging with narcissism."

Maher stated, "You'd have to be pretty dumb to think that the way to bring people around to your point of view is to make them late to pick up their kids from day care. And that's what most normies are thinking, 'I have a kid. I have a job. And yes, I'm sure there are injustices on both sides in the Middle East as there are injustices all over the world, but I'm going to be late for work,' something you protesters on the bridge seemed to have the luxury of not having to worry about, which seems kind of privilege."
