Since Larry King's endgame on CNN, it's no longer considered a good idea for ratings' sake to (gasp!) do an entire segment on a topic/guest. So Piers Morgan had Deborah Norville on for about ten minutes tonight to answer questions about morning shows, Ann Curry and deal with the subtext of what it's like to follow a popular co-host and be unaccepted.
Here's a question Piers didn't ask Deborah:
You've hosted INSIDE EDITION--a tabloid show. Used to be that shows like INSIDE EDITION, HARD COPY and A CURRENT AFFAIR had a place in early-evening access--and actual news was still covered on morning and evening news shows. How do you feel about the TODAY show's continuing efforts to emulate and imitate INSIDE EDITION?
Entries about current events, arts and entertainment (including the competitive sport of poetry).

Here's the Piers Morgan Americans don't experience on CNN.
The quote below is from former UK newspaperperson Piers Morgan's Twitter feed--expressing Morgan's feelings about Hugh Grant (who was a victim of the celebrity phone hacking scandal in the UK--along with actress Sienna Miller) and Grant's appearance on the BBC show QUESTION TIME (presumably discussing how the phone hacking of celebrities, 7/7/05 terror victims and those concerned in the case of a murdered young woman brought an abrupt end to Rupert Murdoch's tabloid NEWS OF THE WORLD):
"You don't have to have any sympathy for the News of the World to think Hugh Grant's being a screechy, sanctimonious little prick."
