CNN has decided to cancel Piers Morgan Live after a three year run. Morgan broke the news in an interview with David Carr of The New York Times.
He said, “It’s been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings” and noted that the final episode would likely end in March. Morgan is expected to stay at CNN in some capacity.
It’s unclear what CNN will do with the 9pm hour. When ABC News Nightline anchor Bill Weir was hired by the cable channel late last year, it was rumored that he might replace Morgan. At the time, CNN denied he was a replacement.
What do you think? Did you like Piers Morgan Live? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Would you watch another Morgan-hosted show?
I am diehard fan of Piers Mogan, the man is honest, fair and BOLD. wHAT cnn has done, I have clue has done under pressire fom GUN LOBBY and gun slinggers, I wish they all were left some where in the old west.

Devastated that the Piers Morgan Live show has been cancelled!
Big mistake CNN!!
Bullied by the NRA, perhaps?
Hopefully he will have his own show again soon, Get your S—-T together CNN!
Thank you Piers!
Glad to see this arrogant man go. Please find someone less pompous to take his place.
I am glad that he was fired. His radical views regarding taking away gun rights did fire up the NRA and non members like myself. I am not a member of the NRA but I now agree with the NRA. I am American Indian. American Indians right to own firearms was finally lifted in 1979. Yes 1979. Check it out. We have been breaking the law for years and will never give up are guns. Pierce Morgan wanted to turn back the clock. The Indian and cowboys finally agree. I agree with gun safety but strongly disagree with gun CONTROL.
I REALLY ENJOYED PIERS MORGAN! I loved it when he argued with people and said what he thought! I could tell he wasn’t happy when he was reporting the same news that CNN had been running all flipping day! How annoying it was to me! Now, his view on guns makes sense to me; really quite simple; if fewer people have guns and if they were very difficult to obtain, there would be less killing sprees here in America! It’s so simple!!! He is CORRECT in his statements. The last show I saw of his was with Chelsea Handler, and… Read more »
