Variety: Piers Morgan Returns to TV for ‘Uncensored’ Highlights Show on Paramount U.K.’s Channel 5

Story from Variety:

Piers Morgan is bringing his “Uncensored” YouTube show to Paramount U.K.’s Channel 5 starting next week, the controversial TV personality announced on his X account on Friday.

In his post, Morgan said his show will be launching on Channel 5 on Sept. 12 at 11 p.m. and will “broadcast the week’s best ‘PMU’ moments” each Friday night, teasing that there will be “rousing debates, big-impact interviews & a hard dose of truth.”

“Uncensored” will continue being on YouTube, as the Channel 5 show essentially feature highlights that have already posted on the platform. Morgan said, “It’s the first time a YouTube news show has done this with a linear network.”

In February 2024, Morgan exited TalkTV to take “Piers Morgan Uncensored” to YouTube. “It’s clear there’s a huge global demand for the content we’re making, but the commitment to a daily show at a fixed schedule, with all the editing and time sensitivities that involves, has been an increasingly unnecessary straitjacket,” he said at the time.

Morgan was previously fired from former employer ITV in 2021 following comments he made about Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, on his breakfast show “Good Morning Britain.” Ofcom received over 57,000 complaints regarding Morgan’s comments, though he was eventually cleared of wrongdoing.

He recently commented on the cancellation of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” arguing that most late-night hosts have become “hyper-partisan activist hacks” for the Left and that it’s really “no wonder” why Stephen Colbert was ousted from the network.

“Most of America’s biggest late-night hosts have become nothing more than hyper-partisan activist hacks for the Democrats – a party that’s rarely been more unpopular. No wonder Colbert got canned. More will follow,” he said.
