Comedian Chelsea Handler just weighed in on the ongoing drama surrounding former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan with a succinct video on TikTok. In it, she appears to share her opinion of Morgan and his abilities as a host.
“Some *ssholes get better, some just stay the same,” Handler captioned. She also included the tags #PiersMorgan #NowLookAtThis. Handler then posted the video to Twitter as well.

The accompanying video shows footage of Morgan interviewing Handler in 2014. The exchange turns frosty very quickly, as Handler slams Morgan’s hosting skills, and calls him a terrible interviewer.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I want viewers to know—I mean they must know because they’re probably following you on Twitter—I mean, you can’t even pay attention for 60 seconds. You’re a terrible interviewer,” Handler says in the clip.
“Well, you just weren’t keeping my attention. That’s more an issue for you than me,” Morgan replies, slightly flummoxed.
“Maybe that’s why your job is coming to an end,” Handler quips, referencing the announcement that CNN had cancelled Morgan’s show.
Handler’s shade comes on the heels of the announcement that Piers Morgan would leave Good Morning Britain as host, effective immediately. Morgan stormed off the show on March 9 after clashing with his co-hosts over his treatment of Meghan Markle, Dutchess of Sussex. Morgan dismissed Markle’s claims that racism within the Royal Family pushed her to contemplate suicide. Good Morning Britain has since reported receiving thousands of complaints about Morgan’s remarks, and the British media watchdog OfCom has also launched an investigation into the show.

everyone knows he sucks.

He’s the working class boy who was bright, and catapulted to prominence by kissing Rupert Murdoch’s xxxx as a young man. He’s probably friends with Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father stole hundreds of millions of pounds from his employee pension funds, and famously “died by accidental drowning” from his yacht, the Ghislaine.
Like all Britons who succeed, they are still shunned by the “elite” hereditary social circles. No only did Piers stop using his birth name, O’Meara, and took on his stepfather’s, Morgan, but I’m sure that his parents’ Catholicism may have made his childhood in England subject to taunts (during the IRA bombings).
Then, like many “lower class” Britons whose success doesn’t lead to social acceptance by the “elite”, he expatriated to the US, where only monetary success is used as the basis of “social standing”.
So, he probably viscerally in conflict as “outsider” in England, and also disgruntled that a foreigner, commoner AND visibly mixed race Megan could be “embraced” (so to speak) by the Royal Family.

sweeping generalisations there! No need to get into spurious pyscho babble and phoney analysis of British society. Piers is simply a gobshite. But that doesn’t inherently make him wrong about Megs and Harry. She’s not the first mixed race Royal btw, the ‘royal’ household through the likes of the Prince’s Trust has led in Improving equality and integration, but none of that matters as it seems everyone knows everything about the ‘royals’ having what ‘The Crown’.

He might be a total a**hole but that still doesn’t make him wrong about Markle

What did Meghan do wrong all she did was tell her truth.

Joey62 How long have you known Meghan Markle since you defend Pier Morgan statements, are maybe you are another one of those coset queens that hid behind your racist views. Take your hood off so we can see your eyes.

She’s right. Where interviewers like Howard Stern, Oprah, etc. succeed and Morgan fails is that even if a guest is boring or they don’t like them, they can still pull an interesting interview out of them. Stern could interview Madonna, Tom Hardy, Robert Downey Jr, Sia, Miley Cyrus, a Pizza delivery guy, or a random Starbucks employee and make them all interesting.

I invite people to go on IMDB, Google him and then read the reviews for his interviews with death row inmates.
They are hilarious.
When you interview death row inmates and one after another they become so agitated and annoyed by your so-called interview techniques that they rip off their mics and beg to be taken back to their jail cell and stomp off in utter disgust and the audience is rooting for them and against you, you have zero interview skills.
Oprah Winfrey became a billionaire on her interviewing skulls, like her or not.
I love Chelsea and she ripped him a new one.
