Piers Morgan is struggling with a lot of things. Like being a fully rounded human being, and then some.

Anybody that says “he’s a straight talker” means he’s a hateful bigot.
If he punched immigrants his fans would watch but asking them to sit down and listen? Nope.

Absolutely spot-on.
If there were a god, she’d be saying “Oops, no, sorry, gotta try that again. I was tryna make a human.”

This is after heavy promotion of the new show and new channel in the press, along with a lot of advertising.
Why has a brand new channel got the funds for an advertising blitz, and why can it gather so much positive press attention? Well, it’s owned by NewsUK, which is the latest name for Rupert Murdoch’s UK media holdings- which makes:
A very accurate description indeed.

Jeremy Kyle? THIS Jeremy Kyle???
There are no depths to which the Murdochs will not sink.

He’s even fallen out with the Mussolini of Mar a Lago:
Trump himself has now weighed in on talkTV’s performance: “Ratings for the Piers Morgan interview with me were great! Unfortunately, after that interview, his show bombed completely because of the fake narrative he tried to portray.

Life must be hard for Piers. Imagine going through life scared of vegan sausage rolls.

I haven’t subjected myself to the show, but I honestly took a break from YouTube a little while ago just because all my preroll ads were either this guy, or Nigel Farage. Farage was hawking some financial nonsense. The Morgan ads were entirely him saying the hackiest American culture war catch phrases, and nothing else.

I’ve been trying to track down who the cast was because it didn’t sound like Graeme, but I’m not having any luck.

Sounds like Tim Brooke-Taylor to me. Apparently it was in the 30th Anniversary edition in 2002.

That’s entirely on-brand as well.

Indeed. Somewhere early in this most recent fascification of the world, “straight talker” or “keeps it real” (etc) came to mean “says all the hateful things that I feel that I wish I could say without my kids chewing me out for it”.
