His own co-workers are glad he’s getting the boot. Staffers at “Piers Morgan Live” are actually relieved that CNN has canceled the show, sources tell Confidenti@l.

“He was always such an a—— to people working for him,” one insider says of the bombastic Brit. Morgan’s last show is likely to be this week, but no specific date has been set. We hear it was low ratings and a bad attitude that killed it, and the decision was made by network boss Jeff Zucker. “The makeup girls suffered the worst — he was rude and belligerent,” says our source. “The general feeling is Morgan didn’t show any respect to anyone working under him — the people who were trying to make him look good.”  

Last Thursday, “Piers Morgan” was seen by just 364,000 total viewers, according to Nielsen. That was easily beaten by Fox News’ “The Kelly File” (1.9 million) and MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” (925,000). Morgan was questioned in November in London by cops investigating phone hacking, but a CNN spokeswoman said that interview was not a factor in his show being canned.

Morgan was the editor of the U.K’s Mirror newspaper from 1995 until he was fired in 2004 over the publication of pictures that were claimed to show Iraqi prisoners being abused by British soldiers; it turned out the photos were fakes.

A rep for Morgan didn’t get back to us.

  1. Real glad to see that opinionated bigmouth get what he deserves. Now he can take his superior attitude back to where he came from. If they will let him back in.

    1. I kind of enjoyed watching Piers verbally getting his ass kicked. His staff is no where as happy as Americans are to see his side show gone.

  2. Pierce does his best work while hiding under the Queens dress. The man should have been cast on the Mr. Ed show, talking to the horse head in the barn.

  3. Send this red coat commie back to wipe the Queen’s groom of the stool’s ass. May he rot in eternal limbo as a stooge without a home nation. I couldn’t stand this insolent prick the first time I heard him utter his first syllable within range of my ears. Knowing now what a complete and total wanker he is, I like him less than a root canal without Novocaine. Good riddance you gun grabbing, Obama ass kissing, communist tool.

  4. what do you expect when your named after a boating dock?..and he floats back to his cliffs of rover..or dover..back to the united kingdumb,,or elsewhere..
