Send him to Canada. Better yet, Australia or New Zealand.
They know why. :mad:
Never watched his show. Just not enough hours in the day. I don’t know if Larry King needed replacing because I didn’t think much of his show either. Sure he got the guests, but he thought “how are you?” to be a hardhitting question.
That’s the kind of gotcha journalism that torpedoed the Sarah Palin campaign.
Larry King needed replacing because he was pretty obviously senile.
Larry King needed retiring sure. But I’m not sure they needed to substitute another similar show in prime time.
Never watched it. Don’t think I missed much.
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.
Maybe he can get a job selling insurance.
Odd, that was exactly the reason I didn’t respect him. You could be a flaming turd and Larry would fawn all over you.
Would you take Justin Bieber instead? We’re trying to get rid of him, too, but Canada won that side bet, and we’re stuck with the dude for the moment:
(My bolding.)
Don’t. Even. Think. About. It.
We have enough home-grown twats without importing them, thank you very much.
I’d like to use this opportunity to dredge up Stephen Fry’s definition of “countryside” : the murder of Piers Morgan.
I’d forgotten that! Thanks.
In a “perfect world”, there would be two replacements - one (say, Ryan Seacrest, although he’s not available on Thursday nights from mid-February through mid-May) to handle entertainment interviews, and one (say, Wolf Blitzer or Anderson Cooper) to do the more hard-news stuff.
Larry King seemed to me to have a grasp of the news stories. Piers doesn’t.
Uh… I don’t get it.
Can we get Graham Norton instead?
Took me a minute too.
cunt-ricide
Not at all. I’ve listened to him do long interviews as the interviewee in recents months. He is still very sharp. That’s not to say it wasn’t past time to get in someone new.
News? On a news channel? That’s the kind of outside the box thinking we are looking for!
(Bolding mine) Oh no you don’t. We’ve well and truly reached our quota for English celebrities past their glory days filling our TV with their inanity.
Maybe the South Africans could be persuaded to take him instead?
That should be
cunt-icide, then, shouldn’t it?
Yeah right. Next they’ll be playing music on MTV.
