NEW YORK — CNN says Piers Morgan of "America's Got Talent" will replace Larry King on the network's prime-time lineup in January.

Morgan, a veteran journalist who hosts a popular interview program in Britain, will do a similar show for CNN. His selection as King's replacement had been widely expected for the past few months.

CNN President Jon Klein says Morgan is "able to look at all aspects of the news with style and humour with an occasional good laugh in the process."

The struggling news network will debut another prime-time show with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and columnist Kathleen Parker in October.

CNN has taken a nose dive in the ratings, and I doubt that Piers is going to make a difference. Larry King had a good run, but as you can see the ratings where going down, CNN is in trouble, a lot of good people have left, this is just another one.

Seems America has no own talent to run the show.
