[QUOTE=Nobody] This is the perfect opportunity for Regis to make his return to TV. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=USCDiver] I was thinking Leno. [/QUOTE] There’s already an Internet drive to replace him with [Robbie Rist](http://www.change.org/petitions/jim-walton-give-robbie-rist-his-own-show-on-cnn) ---

His interview with Rachel Jeantel is amusing. Later her referred to her as ‘a smart cookie.’ Granted, inthe interview, she did not come off as imbecilic and moronic as she did in the trial–but that’s still a way from being a ‘smart cookie.’ (And I do realize that ‘smart cookie’ is not the same as saying someone is smart.) ---

The only one I saw was his interview with rick warren and wife after their son’s suicide. It was quite good, actually. ---

Fox News needs another loudmouthed blowhard to fill an hour of their airtime. Roger Ailes…interested? ---

> [@Sean\_Factotum](#): > > There’s already an Internet drive to replace him with [Robbie Rist](http://www.change.org/petitions/jim-walton-give-robbie-rist-his-own-show-on-cnn) Sure. Adding him to a TV show has always been a good idea. ---

If CNN wants another offensive, crude host who ignores what his guests say, they should dig up the moldy body of Morton Downey, Jr. Or Regis. I could go either way. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > The torching of Morgan’s show puts a dent in the theory that you can sell just about any hogwash to Americans if your spokesperson has a British accent. I can see him selling Dyson vacuum cleaners. Who wouldn’t want a product that sucks like his show. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/piers-morgan-to-lose-his-cnn-show/682077.md?page=2)
