Multiple guests / Montage (including Reecie Colbert, Randy Rainbow, Lunell, Donna, etc.) 0:13
Happy New Year's Eve, Don, and all the Lemonheads out there. I'm so thrilled for all of your success. Congrats on 1 million subscribers on YouTube. You are truly crushing it. I love our talks. Every time we chat, I think to myself, wow. I haven't heard anything this black and this gay since I had a Delta connection in Atlanta. Now, I want everyone to continue to support independent journalism. Truly, y'all are making the world a better place. And much like Trump's name in the Epstein files, get ready to see more of us. I wish I could be there in New Orleans with y'all, but sadly, I'm in New York City trying to find a boy to kiss, and my husband is here too. So have a good one. It's been amazing, 2025.
Multiple guests / Montage (including Reecie Colbert, Randy Rainbow, Lunell, Donna, etc.) 0:56
Make sure 2026 is even better. Love y'all. Have a good one.
Keith Edwards 1:01
Don Lemon, Happy New Year. It's Keith from the Keith Edwards Show. It's Keith Edwards. And I just got to say... Your 2025 has been so inspiring to see because I just know that most people, if they would have went through what you went through, they would have packed up the bags, gone silent and never be seen again. Instead, you bet on yourself. You became more of yourself and you've grown something that truly feels like just the beginning it is so so so so so inspiring it's so inspiring to see and it's teaching me to bet on myself and to just be myself so thank you for that I look forward to seeing what your year looks like next year but you have made a great bet and it's paying off and it's only beginning to pay off

Hi, Don. It is your old pal, Steph, wrapping up the Christmas break like most people do. I'm not really sure what day it is. I don't know what time it is. But like many other 50-year-olds, I am spending this break playing mahjong and pickleball and tennis. But tonight, I do know what I'm doing.

What personal reflections and encouragement does Keith Edwards share for Don’s comeback?

Unknown 3:24
I'm going to be watching your New Year's special because I know you are the original, the OG, back in New Orleans, where you're going to bring a whole lot of fun and definitely surprises. And I've got a feeling some drinking to your broadcast. I might even just stay home tonight to watch you. Happy New Year, brother. Don't stay out too late because you better stay hydrated and get ready for 2026. We're going to have a big one.

Hey Don, this is Donna. Baby, I got my beans soaking. I got my Trinity all cut up. I am about to put my music on and I know you're about to blast it all away. Enjoy New Orleans. Enjoy my beloved hometown. I just left home. I bought back not only my beans, which I'm gonna make before Monday, Although I got my black-eyed peas, but guess what, boo? I got some shrimp from across the river, $5 a pound. So I got seven pounds of shrimp, three dozen of oysters, and two dozen of fresh crab meat. I'm about to make some gumbo. So bring it on, Don. Bring it on. Bring on the music. Bring on the funk. Basically, stir it all up. You're home, girl. Love you, my brother. Happy New Year. Hey, Lemon Nation. Hey, Don Lemon. It's your girl, Reesey Colbert.
