It's official! Piers Morgan has landed the coveted CNN time slot that has been held by Larry King for the past 25 years.

The news organization made the long-awaited announcement today.

Morgan, 45, will begin his new CNN job as host of a "candid, in-depth newsmaker interview program" in January. In a statement, Morgan had this to say about King:

    “I have watched Larry King Live for much of the last 25 years, and dreamed of one day filling the legendary suspenders of the man I consider to be the greatest TV interviewer of them all."

Reports claim that Simon Cowell, Morgan's fellow judge on Britain's Got Talent, helped negotiate his multi-million dollar CNN deal.



Are you looking forward to watching Piers Morgan on CNN?

LK got too old for the job. I stopped watching him a few years ago.

Larry King is retiring because he wants to spend more time with his wives.

LOL no kidding.

Kings career and life went down the tubes when he married his Mormon wife.

And then did her sister too.LOL.

Piers Morgan.. not a US citizen but a citizen of England. He will fit in with CNN because he is known for his anti-American attitude and statements in his judging position at America's Got Talent.

The only positive I have to say about him is that he seems to appreciate actual talent more than his co-judges, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel. Sharon's cultural experience apparently comes as a result of being the manager and wife of Ozzie Osbourne, drugged out bat-biting villain. Howie Mandel only likes stuff like explosions and amming swords down your throat.

I am disheartened, however, because there are a multitude of Americans who would be terrific hosts to replace Larry King.

CNN is a self hating American company.

Poor Larry, his butt buddy Gaycrest did not get the job.

On another note, why does the one Repub psycho feel the need to post 5 times on one post.
You need mental help.
