Piers Morgan Replaces Larry King Piers Morgan |
As shocking as it might sound but the news is true, Larry King is finally going to say good-bye to his quarter-of-a-century-long hosting job and a new face will step in the shoes of Larry on CNN’s prime-time talk show.
It has been announced that Larry will not be seen in the show from January next year and his place will be taken by Piers Morgan. Yes, the same obnoxious judge from ‘America’s Got Talent’.
Morgan claimed: 'I'm aware of the history, I'm aware of the legacy.'
'I'm not going to replace Larry King - no one's going to replace Larry King,' he added.
Morgan, 45 is a well known journalist in Britain and branched into television mainly as a presenter. He became popular as a judge or contestant in reality television programmes. In the UK, he is a judge on Britain's Got Talent alongside Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell.
Morgan is best-known in the United States as a judge on the show America's Got Talent, and as the winner of The Celebrity Apprentice.
Larry’s last show will be aired on December 16th 2010.
