Body language expert Patti Wood noticed that instead of directly answering CNN host Erin Burnett’s first question, he quickly changed the subject to thank the network for having him on.
“It’s really interesting how he starts out,” Wood told The U.S. Sun.
"He wanted to pull in the fact that he wanted to be a star again by saying, 'Thanks for having me on the show.'"
“Instead of it just being, 'you’re having me on here for this thing,' but 'Hey I have a relationship, I’ve been here before.'"
Wood also highlighted how Lemon dodging the question suggested he wanted to be careful about what he was saying.
She noted that he knew it was a big deal to be on the show and wanted to be precise with his response.
“He was asked a really direct question right off the bat and instead of answering it immediately, he says ‘Thanks for having me on the show,’” Wood said.
“He wanted a moment to pull back on that, he wanted to wait before he approached the difficult question nonverbally.
“So when you answer a question immediately and you go to something else.
“That's always a sign that he knows how big this is and he knows how important this is and he wants to be very careful.”
Wood noted that Lemon also denied Burnett’s attempt to take control of the interview when he did not directly answer her question.
“Burnett wanted to jump in and take control of the interview but he was like ‘No I’m not going to let you do that,’’ Wood said.
However, Lemon's tone took a turn to micro-aggression when he was asked about Musk being his boss.
During the CNN interview, Lemon said, "First of all he's not my boss."
"He never was my boss, he never had any editorial control. I wanted my work to be seen by the biggest number of people who could see it."
Wood said she noticed major changes in Lemon at this moment.
"When he was asked about Musk being his boss he got very micro-aggressive and had 'explosive' delivery when saying the word boss," she said.
"He had a sour face and repeated himself multiple times to make sure it wasn’t missed."
Lemon thought his conversation went well with Musk but said, "Clearly he felt differently.”
X was due to exclusively host a new talk show from Lemon, featuring the interview with Musk, on the platform but the deal was terminated on Wednesday.
Musk scrapped the partnership hours after their sit down chat, leaving Lemon baffled with a text which read, "contract terminated."
“His commitment to a global town square where all questions can be asked and all ideas can be shared seems not to include questions of him from people like me,” Lemon said.
"This will be just the first of many episodes of The Don Lemon Show.
"While Elon goes back on his word, I will be doubling down on my commitment to free speech and I cannot wait to get started.”
Musk said on X that Lemon's approach to the interview came off as inauthentic.
"His approach was basically just 'CNN, but on social media', which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying," Musk said on X.

President Biden’s Interview with Seth Meyers February 2024
Here is the video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxuN3i84FNY
My talking points for my TV interview on NewNation are in
rough form there
1)
President Biden's Funny comic timing
When Seth teased and said he had classified information and
told Biden “You're currently 81 years old.” You see Biden’s comic timing. Biden
turns quickly with strength and a playful lift in his voice, “Who the hell told
you that” he smiles and pauses for the laugh smile then adds that’s classified and
smiles and laughs looking straight at Seth, he shows he loves what Biden did by lifting up and
out of his chair towards the president and you see them they share a moment of delight.
And he continues to smile and joke about the other
guy who can’t even remember his wife’s name. He hits on the words wife’s name like a true
comic.
2)
Time code 4:14 The idea that the president/Trump
is inviting Vladimir Putin, Notice how he orients his body to the audience to
give the message to them he raises his hands then strikes down as he says
this showing his desire to slice that request away. Also, notice his face as he
says this and how bizarre it is. His face shows his dissonance. On one side of his face his eye is shut tight and twisted to the side and one side of his is twisted up and closed.
3)
This
next is scary to me because he says it and how he says it.
“I’ve known every major foreign leader…these
leaders longest time... They are scared to death for what it means to them…
scared to death if we walk away. In forensic linguistic analysis, he uses strong
terms SCARED TO DEATH, and repeats it to emphasize it. That is not a wishy-washy
statement and he says it with a strong voice and reaches out with cupped hands
to Seth to emphasize he needs to hold things together then at 4:35 we get a
flash of sadness and withheld tears, notice this crumbling chin and protruding lower
lip and the folds between his brows. This is an intense reveal of how bad this
is for the world.
4.) 6:40 or so Twice during the interview he talks
about Trump’s behavior and then when he realizes he rants on jokes “I don’t want
to get started” with a comic delivery.
5) As he talks about Israel and Palestine… Notice how his
hand raises open cupped palms down and pats gently downward .. “You also have
to have an opportunity to have peace and security” This reveals his desire to calm
down or hold down the intense( raised hand rather than low) conflict. It
reveals both how big the conflict in the world is and also that he feels he must and can pat it
down. He keeps his hands there for a
moment revealing that it’s a long process, and he has to keep patting it
down. We could go on and talk about it.
Video of President Biden with Seth Meyers in an ice cream parlor.
President Biden is leaning on the counter with a singular focus,
we know he loves ice cream, but it creates a “Gotcha” moment because eating ice
cream a joyful, silly body language and an ice cream cone stuck in his hand and
he is being asked about a ceasefire in Gaza. And though he subdues his smile
and answers in a calm confident voice His body language automatically doesn’t match
the seriousness of the question.
