LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Piers Morgan reportedly stands to make $5-6 million annually over the next three years if he takes Larry King's seat at CNN.

That's just one of the beats in the news cycle Wednesday following the revelation that the "America's Got Talent" judge is on the verge of signing a deal with the news network to take CNN's 9 p.m. slot. Morgan would keep his seat on "Got Talent" if he accepted the job, with his NBC duties having top priority.

Good. Shelling out that much for what will still be last place ratings will push CNN down the crapper that much quicker. Pay Piers $30 million.

5 - 6 million, huh? That comes to about a 1/2 million per viewer.

Not bad.

I can’t wait for the first insult of a guest... probably in the first 30 seconds..

I bet there’s a lot of folks itching to be on the first show.

I am so removed from TV. I have never heard of this character - don't know if Piers is a man or woman. The only time I hear any of the talking heads is when Rush plays the audio.

Obviously, he wouldn't be in serious consideration for the job if he weren't considered a reliable card-carrying Leftist lunatic.

So how do these liberals keep getting away with pretending to be for equality and demonizing the rich while the in crowd keeps needing to build bigger barns to store all their booty?

But then, obviously, looking for anything regarding the Left to make sense is futile.

One thing you have to hand it to them on, though, is their ability to play the masses for all they're worth.

I’ve never heard of this person either, and CNN is never on here.

In fact, the only time Fox is even on here is at 3 AM, for ‘Red Eye’.

Other than that, I watch mostly sports programming.

This will be a nice target to smear CNN with the leftist label they deserve. This dirt bag, POS faked Abu Grahb photos as editor to the Daily Mirror in the UK years back. Made the British soldiers look guilty of something they did not do and endangered their lives. After the hoax was uncovered he was the only one involved not to apologize and was fired. He was also involved in insider trading at the paper. Let everyone know who this pompous ass really is. At least Larry King kept it to check kiting.

Didn’t he raise a bunch of money for The Fallen Heros Fund or some organization for soldiers when he was on The Celebrity Apprentice? I got the feeling he didn’t particularly care if he is liked or not.
