Three years ago, CNN announced that Piers Morgan was going to replace Larry King at 9p on weeknights, and I knew back then it was a mistake. Finally after hitting another ratings low this week, the news channel decided to deport him from their schedule some time next month. He basically told
The NY Times that us Americans never accepted him because he is British. I want to say that is not why I opted not to accept him, it’s because I never trusted him since he is such a pompous a$$. I hated him on America’s Got Talent and The Celebrity Apprentice; and it was because of his arrogance and not because of his nationality. He’s the type of guy who is the only one who laughs at his own jokes and enjoys the boring stories he tells. But that’s me and the thousands of people who stopped tuning in. I say thousands because his show was barely ever seen by a million people on any given night.
Now when it comes to who CNN should replace him with, I have no idea because they don’t have anyone worthy of the position in the bullpen. Personally, if I were them, I would bring back Larry King. Although I think he is content doing his thing over at OraTv. Let’s just hope and pray Jeff Zucker doesn’t give that position to one of his former employees like Katie Couric or Jay Leno. Granted, he has made so many mistakes with CNN since he started a year ago, I wouldn’t be shocked if he did give the job to one of them. I would just be saddened as I am with everything else he has done besides get rid of Piers Morgan.
UPDATE: Piers Morgan responded to his show cancellation on Twitter and he was finally humbled.
