Piers Morgan is one of the best-known faces in the British media,
whose easy charm and boyish good looks have endeared him to the
nation. His varied talents seem to know no bounds: he's interviewed
scores of celebrities from Victoria Beckham to Gordon Brown; he
turned around the fortunes of a leading tabloid newspaper; he's a
judge on one of the most popular television talent shows and he's
topped publishing's bestseller lists with several hit books. And
now, to put the icing on the cake, he has secured one of the
biggest gigs on American television: he is replacing Larry King as
the anchor on his CNN show. But what is the real story behind the
man who seems to have the ability to reinvent himself again and
again? Piers' rise through the ranks of tabloid journalism was
meteoric. He started his career in newspapers as a cub reporter for
the South London News. It wasn't long before he was recruited to
The Sun to work on the showbiz gossip column Bizarre. At just 28
years old, he was appointed Editor of News of the World, becoming
the youngest national newspaper editor for more than half a
century. It wasn't long before he took over the reins at The
Mirror, where he stayed for nine successful years. Morgan himself
became the subject of newspaper headlines when, in 2004, he was
sacked by The Mirror after the newspaper ran fake photos of British
soliders abusing Iraqi prisoners. Always one to bounce back from
adversity, Morgan then penned a best-selling book about his days as
a tabloid journalist. He went on to become the darling of
prime-time TV with a series of Life Stories celebrity interviews, a
position as a judge on Britain's Got Talent and his popular Piers
Morgan On...series.
