CNN pulls plug on Piers Morgan show

Washington (AFP) - CNN president Jeff Zucker has pulled the plug on British host Piers Morgan's TV show after its ratings plunge, ending the former tabloid editor's three year run on U.S. television.

Morgan, who irked U.S. gun owners after launching a crusade for greater gun control, struggled after stepping into the shoes of popular, down-to-earth host Larry King in the coveted 9:00 p.m. primetime slot.

"CNN confirms that 'Piers Morgan Live' is ending," CNN vice president of communications Barbara Levin told AFP. "The date of the final program is still to be determined."

King, known for his ability to connect immediately and easily with ordinary Americans, hosted "Larry King Live" on CNN from 1985 to 2010.

Now 80, King still wears his trademark wide-rimmed glasses, shirt with rolled-up sleeves and suspenders as he hosts a show broadcast on Hulu, Ora TV and Russia's RT television.

And so he goes the same route as most other liberal commentators ... so convinced of his own superiority that he chose to lecture, rather than educate.
