Piers Morgan will replace Larry King as the host of CNN's Friday night talk show. Morgan will take over King's time slot starting on January 17, 2011 with a new show called Piers Morgan Live. King is retiring from the show he has hosted since 1985, holding the record as the longest-running show with the same host. Morgan is a British journalist and television personality best known in his home country for editing two tabloids, and he now aims to rebuild his reputation in the United States with this new role.
