Former CNN host Don Lemon has spoken publicly for the first time since confirming he was fired by the network, stating that he has “no regrets” and no plans to “rush to another job.”

In an interview with Extra at the Time 100 Gala in New York City, Lemon, who most recently hosted CNN’s “This Morning,” also detailed his plans for the future following the sudden and “surprise” departure.
