1218-Piers Morgan the "Obnoxious Brit" to Replace Larry King

At first glance it doesn't make sense, to replace integrity-driven, iconic Larry King with Piers Morgan. But give it a minute and it all sinks in. The days of truth and integrity are past - oh, they had a good, long run, but Americans have told broadcasters they want something more up-to-date and reflective of these new times on their plate: British sarcasm. Hey, it worked to jump-start American Idol so it might work with "Piers Morgan Tonight", debuting in January. Sure, Piers has over 20 years of journalism under his belt, but he's got something else that doesn't take any experience - it comes with the package as it pops out of the womb: nasty, tacky sarcasm. He's sure to attack most every guest to step into his show, but unlike Larry King the attacks will not be intellectually driven. Piers will just simply disagree for the sake of disagreeing , and hope it will start a fight with his naive guest and boost ratings. After all, it would be rather boring to watch a reality-based, intellectual interview that while very informative lacked the entertainment value of insult and conflict. Good luck, Piers. We don't think your show will make it to summer 2011.
