Piers Morgan Live is set to be cancelled in March. CNN has suffered struggling ratings while networks FOX and MSNBC seem to be becoming more and more popular.

Morgan’s career was built in the world of news but his own career made headlines. He was a tabloid newspaper editor with the Daily Mirror. Morgan lost his job after he published fake pictures of British troops airbrushing Iraqi Prisoners.
Morgan expanded his career with television being personally hired by Simon Cowell. He was a judge on Britain’s Got Talent and joined the cast of the American version during it’s premiere. His harsh opinions made him a fan favorite. Morgan was seen as a comparison to Simon Cowell.
