TVLine Items: Piers Morgan Joins Fox Nation, Another Life Trailer and More
Piers Morgan has found a new outlet: The former CNN host has signed a global deal with Fox News parent company News Corp and will host a daily talk show that will stream on Fox Nation here in the U.S., our sister site Variety reports.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to News Corp, which is where I began my media career more than 30 years ago,” Morgan said in a statement. “Rupert Murdoch has been a constant and fearless champion of free speech and we are going to be building something new and very exciting together.”
Morgan succeeded Larry King as CNN’s late-night talk show host in 2011 and helmed Piers Morgan Live until 2014. He recently parted ways with Good Morning Britain in his native UK after making controversial comments about Meghan Markle. He also served as a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and won the 2008 season of Celebrity Apprentice. His new Fox Nation show is expected to debut early next year.

Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
Every episode will be him ranting about non-white women having opinions and him being upset that they don’t want to date him.
The Fox Nation audience will relate.
His obsession with Meghan Markle is creepy. She was all he would talk about. I bet she’s the topic of discussion every episode he hosts.
I totally agree with you, I wouldn’t put it past him.

Re: Piers Morgan — ew, no.
ANOTHER LIFE Season 2 looks to be even more terrible than season 1. That is a real waste of money and talent.
I gotta say, the guy always lands on his feet. Congrats, Piers!
