Piers Morgan will stay at Sharon and Howie’s table — and he looks poised to get his own desk on CNN as well.
Morgan, the British journalist best known in the U.S. as a judge on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” just struck a new three-year deal to stay on the program, where he serves alongside Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel. In the meantime, the deal will free him to negotiate to replace Larry King in CNN’s coveted 9 p.m. Eastern berth, according to sources familiar with the situation. Last month, King announced he would retire after 25 years on “Larry King Live.”
