The former British tabloid editor -- who irked conservative Americans after launching somewhat of a crusade for greater gun control measures -- struggled after stepping into the shoes of popular, down-to-earth host Larry King in the coveted 9:00 pm primetime slot.
King Marcus Williams Jersey , an 80-year-old talk show star who now hosts a show broadcasting on Hulu, Ora TV and Russia's RT television, is known for his ability to connect immediately and easily with ordinary Americans. He hosted "Larry King Live" on CNN from 1985 to 2010, wearing his trademark wide-rimmed glasses Ryan Ramczyk Jersey , shirt with rolled-up sleeves and suspenders.
Morgan, in contrast, was inherently British and not just in his accent. In particular, he made repeated references to cricket Marshon Lattimore Jersey , a sport with little US presence, and professed his ignorance about American football and preference for the round football, soccer.
"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."
US media reports said the show could end as early as next month but that Morgan may stay with CNN in another role.
In an interview with The New York Times Archie Manning Jersey , Morgan said the show had "run its course," adding that he and Zucker "have been talking for some time about different ways of using me."
