Piers Morgan Live is being cancelled

I imagine there will be some here who will be dancing on this show's grave.

Quote
CNN's prime-time talk show Piers Morgan Live is coming to an end, the news channel said Sunday.

Morgan, who succeeded Larry King in the 9 p.m. ET time slot three years ago, was drawing lacklustre ratings. In contrast, King had a 25-year run on CNN.

...

Morgan told The New York Times that his show lately has "taken a bath in the ratings" but that he and CNN President Jeff Zucker were discussing a new role for him at the channel. CNN's audience has tired of hearing a Brit weigh in American cultural issues, Morgan said in a story posted online Sunday.

...

Morgan served as editor of The Daily Mirror from 1995 to 2004. He has been questioned in connection with Britain's long-running phone hacking scandal, which has led to numerous arrests, resignations and the closure of Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid.

Earlier this month, Morgan confirmed that he was interviewed in December by British police investigating the illegal interception of telephone voicemails. Morgan, who said he had given a previous witness statement, has consistently denied wrongdoing.

It's a good sign.
I hope this'll serve as a lesson to the next "Ally" who makes a dick out of himself.

He did make an ass of himself, but that might not be at all related to CNN's decision to drop him. It might just be what they said--his ratings were low, and I have no idea whether his comments had anything to do with that.

He also might stay with CNN anyway, just not with his own show.

Hated in Britain, and now hated in America.  Where's he going to go next?

His best ever show was when Alex Jones came on and totally whigged the fuck out. Epic! Other than that, I haven't watched more than 7 airings, and can't remember any of those...

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Considering we're playing hot potato with Bieber and he's Canadian, I have no idea what will become of Piers.

I'm just going to point out that there is a very large ocean between the North American continent and England... I'm sure it would be a shame if something would go wrong with his deportation and he wouldn't make it all the way across.

I just know that it would be a blow for journalism worldwide.

you face the real end boss.
