British television host Piers Morgan will replace veteran CNN talk show host Larry King in January.
CNN said yesterday that Morgan will start his CNN show in January. King announced in June he would end Larry King Live after a 25-year reign.
The name of Morgan's CNN show, which will air every week day at 9 pm, has not been announced.
The winner of Donald Trump's The Celebrity Apprentice reality show in 2008, Morgan will however keep his job on British network ITV, where his program Life Stories has included interviews with celebrities and politicians.
The 76-year old King, who forged a reputation for nonconfrontational interviews with an eclectic guest list, will host his last show in mid December, CNN said.
