Who replaced Larry King?

Larry King was an American radio and television journalist who hosted he hosted the nightly interview television program Larry King Live on CNN from 1985 to 2010.

Morgan replaced King on CNN’s “Larry King Live” in January 2011 to host the renamed “Piers Morgan Tonight,” a move that caused tension between the two.

The “Good Morning Britain” co-anchor chose to address said tension in his acknowledgment of King’s death while taking a jab at King’s former marriages.

“Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN & he said my show was ‘like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley.’ (He married 8 times so a mother-in-law expert) But he was a brilliant broadcaster & masterful TV interviewer,” the tweet reads.

According to CNN President Jon Klein, Morgan will “look at all aspects of the news with style and humour, with an occasional good laugh in the process.”
