So far, at least, Piers Morgan shows no signs of being CNN's next big star. His ratings have declined steadily, falling below that of his predecessor, Larry King, in his first two weeks on the air. But it may be too early to make a fair comparison.

The British newspaper journalist and TV personality will take over in 2011 from King, who was originally set to retire this fall. Morgan is already known to U.S. viewers of America's Got Talent, the British show's spin-off.
Larry King made the announcement on Twitter that he would be ending his Larry King Live interview show this fall, after 25 years on the air -- and less than 25 minutes later, it was already the punchline of Twitter jokesters.
