Piers Morgan to host CNN show?

Further proof there is no God: the New York Post reports that former Mirror editor Piers Morgan is in talks with CNN about hosting a primetime show for the cable network's US output. Under the headline " Desperate CNN wooing Piers Morgan ," the Post reports: Sources tell The Post's Claire Atkinson that Morgan is now discussing a possible panel show at CNN, which has been battered by plunging ratings and is searching for a new identity. The Time Warner-owned cable network has hemorrhaged viewers to Fox News Channel and even lost some to its own sibling service, HLN. There's a talent drain as well: CNN recently lost Christiane Amanpour to ABC's "This Week" and Gerri Willis to Fox Business Network. CNN currently has Campbell Brown's 8pm slot open – although a source said the network is also sounding out possible replacements for Larry King Live. King's audience fell 43% in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2009. There's a good chance this is utter rubbish – the same piece also speculates that CNN is also talking to Eliot Spitzer as well, which seems unlikely, given the former governor of New York's shameful resignation . In Morgan's case, he is best known in the US for judging America's Got Talent, and as a winner of Celebrity Apprentice. But CNN might want to reconsider the idea once they review Morgan's sticky end as editor of the Mirror.
