CNN to Drop Piers MorganOctober 01, 2013

/ Scott Jones

Sources tell FTVLive that CNN Boss Jeff Zucker is "actively looking for a replacement for Piers Morgan."

Morgan signed a one year extension to his contract and as time winds down, Zucker is looking for someone to takeover his time slot.

Word is that Zucker really wants Katie Couric in that slot. Couric should be available soon as many expect this is the last year her talk show "Katie" will be on the air.

But, CNN sources tell FTVLive that Zucker is not putting all his eggs in the Couric basket. "He's looking at other people besides Katie," says our source.

Zucker might have learned a lesson when he planned on putting Erin Burnett on CNN's new morning show. It blew up in his face, when Burnett balked at going to mornings.

Word is that CNN could offer Morgan another role at the network, most likely something outside of prime time and likely in the late night hours.

Morgan, his agent and CNN have been working on his new role or his exit strategy from the network.

One group that will likely be happy that CNN is pulling the plug on Morgan in prime time... the NRA.

Morgan has been very critical of the gun laws in the United States for years and has made it one of his main topics on his show.

Looks like he took on the NRA and lost.

I not like Piers Morgan, and it's solely due to his presentation skills, rather - the lack thereof.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Looks like he took on the NRA and lost.

Yeah, I bet that's it.

[Rattlehead 69]

He was a vapid twit LONG before he spouted off about those "evil AR-15 shotguns." This has been a long time coming; it's about time CNN began the craniorectal extraction procedure.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Yeah, I bet that's it.

It must be.

[Darnell 8,478]

At last America has woken up to the fact the guy is a slime ball AND a moron.

And Britain doesn't want him back.

Good Riddance. I bet he gets a show on Current TV or MSNBC. Maybe they should give him own show on Fox.

[RGinWA 816]

It must be.

The 10 million NRA viewers that never watched him anyway did it.

I doubt it.

More like Chicken Noodle News viewers found out why most Brits don't like the annoying little weasel.

Pooky? If forced to make a decision between TeleTubbies and Piers Morgan, I'd choose TeleTubbies each and every time.

and I am SO OVER watching TeleTubbies, ages past.
