Not a fan already.
Oprah is soooo annoying now. Go away already.
And Howard Stern was downright boring.
CNN - this show is a stinker.

Howard did the best he could. He was happy with the overall segment because he could talk about issues but is not happy about the show not being live.

I give Piers 6-12 months and then CNN will buy him out.

Piers Morgan is a Pompous ass. Can't stand him. Never could. Does ANYONE actually like Piers Morgan? Can't imagine anyone being interested enough in him to make a point of tuning in. Guess it'll depend on the quality of guests he's able to attract. But, IMO, having to resort to Howard Stern for your second show isn't a very good sign.

"Can't imagine anyone being interested enough in him"

Outside of himself, of course.

It's interesting to me that this is what's going to be held up as an example of what liberals look for. Really?

I just feel like Piers is very successful in the UK. Why bring him here to host a show that so many people that already live in the USA would love to host? I don't get it.

I think it's more a case of Piers wants the money and the profile raising that this is giving him. As a Brit and one (of the few) who actually quite likes the man I also don't much see the point of his CNN show other than the money it's earning him!

All I can say is thank you for taking him off our hands...

Piers Morgan has absolutely no personality. He's tactless, which makes him mildly interesting as a judge on reality competitions, but beyond that, he's just dull.

I find it positively embarrassing that we're exporting so much talentless egotistical trash to the US: Piers Morgan, Simon Cowell, Russell Brand.

In return we get the cultured and perceptive contributions of Bonnie Greer and Bill Bryson.

I saw the show for the first time last night with Ricky Gervais and liked it. I thought the hour went by pretty fast.

A huge improvement on the work done by Larry King in the last few year. Poor Larry never seemed to know who the hell he was interviewing and spent most of his time looking down at his notes for his next question.

Keith Olbermann is suddenly available for CNN. Not that I think Piers is in immediate danger but I could see a primetime shakeup to try and net a big personality to bring in ratings. CNN has occasionally been outrated by its little sister network Headline News.

Actually.. the interviews have all been very interesting and he is doing very well in the ratings. I am sure the folk at CNN are very happy. The Howard Stern interview in particular was very entertaining and all over the news the next day. The George Clooney interview about the Sudan was also riveting. The show did drop in ratings towards the middle of the first week and Hannity beat it. But that was to be expected. I like the show a lot. And please.. anything is better than what the Larry king show became on its last 3 years.

We'll let you keep them if you also keep Madonna and Gwynnie Paltrow.
