In the bustling hub of London, Piers Morgan runs his YouTube show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored, " with the flair of a seasoned ringmaster. Recently, he's been orchestrating heated debates and high-profile interviews from the News Building. Morgan's grand plan? To host a powerhouse duo: Donald Trump and Elon Musk at the White House. Despite their past drama, Morgan hopes this collaboration will be a hit, just like his previous interview with Trump that sparked a furor over the 2020 election. Trump and Morgan have a history; the journalist once worked with him on "The Celebrity Apprentice. " Despite their past spats, they've maintained a complex relationship. Morgan’s show, originally part of TalkTV, moved online after the network's closure. The show has thrived on YouTube, attracting top guests like Kevin Spacey and Armie Hammer, and racking up millions of views. Morgan sees "Uncensored" as a prominent player in the new media landscape, especially with Trump's comeback. The host, who has weathered several career setbacks, now hopes to build a media empire similar to Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, involving live shows, documentaries, and merchandise. He's even considering promoting hair products, mimicking Shapiro's successful hair gel sales. Controversy follows Morgan, who's known for giving a platform to contentious figures. His interviews with canceled celebrities have sparked debate. Yet, he admits that some interviews, like the one with Dan Bilzerian, went too far. Despite criticisms, Morgan believes his show offers valuable public service by exposing controversial views. Morgan’s approach to social media has evolved; he’s toned down provocative posts, focusing more on his show and less on Twitter spats. After years of criticizing Meghan Markle, he now finds the topic boring. Yet, he’s open to having the Sussexes on his show if the opportunity arises.
