Morgan has a special talent where he’s such a loathesome prick that people feel tainted if they agree with him.
He’s such a smarmy, oily scumbag hack that he’s truly despised both here and in the UK - @Jardine’s picture above tells a thousand words - it takes a special skill to get people to side with Jeremy Clarkson against you. The Times article suggests that his problem here was that he was too English, but that doesn’t explain why no-one in the UK wants him back. Maybe he’s just an arsehole?
Larry King? I thought from his reputation that he was this great famous interviewer, but when I saw him after I moved across the pond he was about as threatening as David Frost was in his later days - ‘and what did you have for breakfast today, Prime Minister?’
Do viewers actually like softball questions, though? I sure as hell don’t. I hate that most interviews are nothing more than thinly (or not at all) disguised sales pitches.
