Piers Morgan brings worst ratings to CNN prime time slot in 21 years

[Mr.Conductor]

When the prime time show replaced Larry King’s 9pm slot 18 months ago audience figures trebled. But after a successful few months, numbers have tumbled to a record low.
In May, figures for Piers Morgan Tonight dropped to their lowest in 15 years with only 39,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic tuning in to watch the former Daily Mirror editor.
The figures demonstrate a major slide for the British television personality whose show launched to a massive advertising campaign in January 2011.
His debut show attracted 2.1 million viewers – 521,000 of which were between 25 and 54. Since then, the programme has lost 27 per cent of its audience and 32 per cent of the 25-54 demographic.
Despite the dwindling numbers, the former Daily Mirror editor remained defiant this week, brazenly retweeting a comment suggesting the ratings failure was worse than “a Moody's analyst with an undiagnosed brain tumour".
The 60-minute talk show has featured a number of television personalities from Glee’s Jane Lynch to Charlie Sheen as well as high-profile political guests such as the Dalai Lama.

The best way to get rid of this jackass is to simply ignore him.

Every time I stumble on to that show Im reminded of how infuriating he is...quite an azz.

[ShooterInPA1]

He is the cure for anyone who has low blood pressure.

Cannot wait until his show is canceled.

I have to give the wanker some credit, hes got you right where he wants you........ watching, reporting and causing more to tune in, Just sayin

[Lendog]

i'll be glad when he's yanked off the air...........i'd rather watch oprah

[PSUWaz00]

He's terrible. The fact that he feels he has the right to try and steer conversation on the American Constitution as a British citizen is asinine. He should stick to talking about Kate's baby bump and let us men talk about men things.

I hope you aren't mocking tea and crumpets! A few years ago as a freshman at college, my room mate and I enjoyed morning tea before our first class and then a mid morning tea and afternoon tea. The crumpets I could live without, but the tea-Oh the tea.
