Piers Morgan / Larry King

Now it's official: Piers Morgan is getting Larry King's job. CNN announced on Wednesday that former British tabloid editor and 'America's Got Talent' judge Piers Morgan "will host a candid, in-depth newsmaker interview program" beginning in January.
In June of this year, Larry King announced that he is quitting his job as host of 'Larry King Live' he's hosted since 1985.

76-year-old King made it public his wish to be replaced by his friend and 'American Idol' host Ryan Seacrest as the face of CNN's nightly lineup. But CNN bosses had other ideas.
"I have watched Larry King Live for much of the last 25 years, and dreamed of one day filling the legendary suspenders of the man I consider to be the greatest TV interviewer of them all. I am thrilled to be joining CNN, and very much looking forward to bringing my own style of interviewing to the world’s biggest, and best, TV news organization. As a young journalist in Britain, I watched CNN's astonishing live coverage of the 1991 Gulf War, and felt enthralled by the courage and brilliance of the journalists involved in that coverage. Years later, I watched Anderson Cooper's visceral reports from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and felt equally enthralled by his passionate and relentless search for the truth", 45-year-old Morgan said in a statement.
