Piers Morgan confirms he will be replacing Larry King on CNN

Bow to your Queen!

I called this on June 30th and July 14th. Thank you and good night, Wisconsin!

So Piers Morgan confirmed what I knew months ago and released this statement today, confirming that he will fill the suspenders of Larry King later this year...

“I am thrilled to be joining CNN, and very much looking forward to bringing my own style of interviewing to the world’s biggest, and best, TV news organization. As a young journalist in Britain, I watched CNN’s astonishing live coverage of the 1991 Gulf War, and felt enthralled by the courage and brilliance of the journalists involved in that coverage. Years later, I watched Anderson Cooper’s visceral reports from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and felt equally enthralled by his passionate and relentless search for the truth.

"Perhaps most pertinently, I have watched Larry King Live for much of the last 25 years, and dreamed of one day filling the legendary suspenders of the man I consider to be the greatest TV interviewer of them all.”

Here's to Celebrity Apprentice actually being good for someone's career, and America's Got Talent not torpedoing Piers like Hasselhoff.

Will you be watching Piers Morgan's new show? I think he'll be very good, actually.
