After months of speculation, Cable News Network (CNN) has finally confirmed that Brit telly presenter Piers Morgan will host a new programme to replace flagship interview show Larry King Live, after Larry King himself retires in late December, 2010. Morgan recently described Mr. King’s job, which Morgan will take over, as “the greatest interview job in the world.”
The title of Morgan’s new series has not been confirmed, but the programme will commence in January and air Mondays through Fridays at 9 PM. The show will also reportedly air worldwide on CNN-International in over 200 countries.
Morgan will continue to judge talent competition America’s Got Talent on NBC and to host the ITV programme Piers Morgan’s Life Stories; however, his future as judge of Britain’s Got Talent is unclear.
To American audiences, Piers is primarily known as a talent show judge and reality TV star (from when he won Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice), so it will be interesting to see how Americans respond to him as a serious interview journalist. Congratulations and good luck Piers!
