Piers Morgan Debut

[Mark Giardina]

So what's the opinion regarding the debut of CNN's Piers Morgan show?

Of course the early morning anchors on CNN thought the program was a huge success (naturally).
But what are your thoughts?

Tuesday's show will feature Howard Stern, and CNN ran a clip of that interview this morning where Morgan asked Stern if he wore a toupee or if his hair was real if it was dyed. :

Stern, according to a few websites, also took a few verbal shots at Jay Leno.

I don't know about you folks, but both items I mentioned doesn't want me to rush home from work and watch this show.

Stern will probably give Piers a ratings shot-in-the-arm much like he did when he was a guest on the old late-night series, "The Magic Hour," hosted by Magic Johnson... And we all know how successful that show turned out to be! :

Meanwhile, here's what others are saying about Piers after watching his CNN debut:

It's great to start a show off with big guests. But will people tune in once the big guests go away?

Also, will people sit through one solid hour of interview? It reminds me of Charlie Rose on PBS.

Losing the phone-in element that King had is a mistake. I think people want to ask questions of news-makers, instead of having the same old questions asked by professional hosts.

I wonder what will happen with that AT&T-powered telephone number (1-800-676-2100)?
