CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” will soon be rebranded “Piers Morgan Live,” the New York Post reported Wednesday. Morgan explained the change:
“Because I actually prefer ‘Live,’ which is how Larry King did it all those years. I always wanted it that way but, when I began, I was under contract to ‘America’s Got Talent’ and couldn’t work out the schedules. Now that I’m not one of those talent judges anymore, I have the time.
“So, with Jeff Zucker coming in, taking over, bringing up new ideas, I went to him and thought it’s a good idea to revamp.”
Late update: “Piers Morgan Tonight” executive producer Jonathan Wald tweeted a photo of the show’s new graphic:
