Piers Morgan: #145;Hi, George -- what#146;s it like being only the second-best-looking guy on the carpet tonight?#146;George Clooney: #145;I don#146;t know, Piers -- why don#146;t you tell me?#146; Piers Morgan is back. Aside from being only the second-best-looking guy at the 2013 Oscars, Piers has also been busy hosting his primetime talk show Piers Morgan Live on CNN. After heading over Stateside to judge America#146;s Got Talent, he took over from US TV legend Larry King and immediately had to deal with some of the most shocking news events in recent US history, such as the attempted assassination of Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords, the killing of Osama bin Laden and the devastation caused by Hurricane Irene. He has also covered horrific shooting rampages that have taken place, including the murder of twelve people by James Eagan Holmes at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises and the Sandy Hook school massacre. Despite everyone wanting him to fail -- being described by critics as #145;overhyped#146; and #145;self-promoting#146; after his CNN debut, and also being scrutinised over his involvement in the phone hacking scandal -- Piers is still entertaining both sides of the Atlantic with his acerbic charm and rubbing shoulders with all the hottest celebs. When he#146;s not sparring with Jeremy Clarkson, Piers can often be found hanging out with film and music industry royalty -- and even the US president.But as well as interviewing everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Charlie Sheen, Piers also wades in on the big issues affecting America such as calling for tighter gun control -- which has resulted in a petition signed by over 100,000 Americans calling for Piers to be deported. As well as angering the pro-gun activists, Piers also has a thing or two to say on the Bible, which he says is #145;inherently flawed#146; and needs amending to allow gay marriage.

And don#146;t even get him started on Madonna.
