About last night… CNN's 10pm hour, w/ @DonLemon in the #blizzardmobile, was its highest-rated hour of the day in 25-54 demo. Topped Fox.

Heh. Is this one of those awkward moments where you have to explain the difference between “laughing with you” and “laughing AT you?”
Don Lemon’s trek around New York City in the CNN blizzardmobile was a viral laughingstock on social media. Comedians were making fun of it. All the people watching Fox changed the channel to see the disaster. People watched Don Lemon on CNN last night for the same reason they tuned in to watch “Sharknado 2” in droves.
@brianstelter @DonLemon it’s only human to watch a train wreck happening live.

What CNN will learn from @donlemon's good Blizzardmobile ratings: get Don an ATV for the summer
