Larry King To Appear On ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’

Larry King is heading back to CNN but this time it’s to sit on the opposite side of the desk as a guest on Piers Morgan Tonight the show that replaced King when he left the network after 25 years on the air.
It will be interesting to see how the two men react after Larry King told the BBC last week that CNN overhyped Morgan’s interviewing style:
“One of the problems they did was to oversell it — they said he was going to be dangerous, he was going to be water-cooler talk, it was ‘wait till you see me, I’m different, Well, he’s good — but he’s not that dangerous…. He’s good, but not that dangerous. I think they might have been better off starting quietly and that’s not Piers’ fault, or maybe it is, I’m not inside anymore.”

‘America’s Got Talent’ judge Piers Morgan has been working with CNN producers to take over for the soon to be retired Larry King and now we’ve learned from RadarOnline that the former Celebrity Apprentice winner is nearly ready to sign a $10 million contract.
That same report says Piers is the “first choice” for the network and that he is “very, very close to agreeing to terms” after spending about a month in negotiations.
Morgan isn’t the only person who wanted the show, CNN released the following statement earlier this month:
“Not surprisingly, there is no shortage of people who would love to succeed Larry King if and when he moves on, but rumors that we are close to signing a deal for a Larry King replacement are untrue.”
If Larry King would have had his way he would have given American Idol host Ryan Seacrest the show, he’s made no secret of his Seacrest admiration.
