Hahaha ... I think he has good perception and interpretation, and articulates that well. On the plus side :D his irony will be lost on the great U.S. of A, and maybe his arrogance will be found wanting ...

Sat next to 2 guys from Denmark last night...and they were telling us how Denmark knows how to talk out their problems with Terroists, such that Denmark is now at peace after their "debacle" about some newspaper making fun of Allah

I love Piers Morgan! He is awesome on America's Got Talent (which is strange that there are two British judges). AGT is very popular here as they play it in the summer when all of the other shows are on summer hiatus.

Larry King is horrible. Anyone can do a better job than him. Piers will do an excellent job.

I'm sure Theo van Gogh would be pleased to hear that, were he still alive.

I wonder why there is a need for a British judge in American talent shows.
Simon Cowell,Nigel Lythgoe,Piers Morgan etc etc

"I love Piers Morgan! He is awesome on America's Got Talent (which is strange that there are two British judges)."

Indeed, but AFAIK A.G.T. is owned by Simon Cowell, and he's a Brit, and has presumably got his mates in to help ... or decided that America might like the Brits being judges ... who knows, but Cowell seems to have a Midas touch and if he owns the show anyway who's to argue?!

"All I can do is feel sorry for you, he is nothing but an obnoxious, opinionated bigot who craves fame"

"opinionated bigot"? </rhetorical>

I like that he's opinionated. That's why he does so well as a judge on AGT.

I've only ever seen him on AGT, so my bias is based on that. I did hear him being interviewed on the Howard Stern show, and it was fantastic. I have yet to see him interviewing someone, so I have no idea how well he'll do replacing Larry King. But really anyone can replace Larry King and be good. Larry King is the worst interviewer ever!
