Piers Morgan Reminds The Staff Of Parker Spitzer That They’re His Warm-Up Act

» 10 comments

Piers Morgan has made a series of fun web videos in the lead up to his new show, many of which have been produced by He Who Will Not be Named (not because of any malice, just because I’m terrible at remembering names. Steve Krack…inski?). The latest, though, is probably the best, with Morgan bursting into the office of Parker Spitzer to remind them that they will soon be nothing more than his “warm-up act.” God, those Brits get away with saying anything. Must be the accent.

“Well, they say every good act needs a good warm-up act and I’m about to go and meet mine, because the people lying behind those walls there are in the process of planning their show tonight and that show will, effectively, become my warm-up. I’m not sure they see themselves that way, but I’m about to remind them.”

Some nice zings in there, however, the best line came from Eliot Spitzer when the conversation turned to WikiLeaks and transparency. Morgan asked if he and Kathleen Parker would mind if their personal emails were ever published. “Mine have been,” responded Spitzer.

Check out the video from CNN below. Oh, wait, I’ve got it! Krackalewski! That’s it, right?

    I don’t know who Piers Morgan is, beyond those awful commercials. It’s like CNN is trying to be edgy, except the guy who thinks he knows what edgy is is really just like a…i don’t know the right word. tool?

    Is it too late to get Benny Hill ?

    It’s not a surprise that leftist “Corrupt B-tards” cnn would hire an immigrant to do a job no self-respecting American citizen would do – namely, appear on their socialist propaganda network.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    Might be Eddie! Might be!! :-)))))))

    At least he made it clear from start.

    “I don’t know who Piers Morgan is, beyond those awful commercials.”

    Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan has been sacked after the newspaper conceded photos of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi were fake. Another “hate the Military” CNN employee, but photoshoping photos is just going too far.

    In other words he said………when I suck in the ratings I can just blame it on you people because you suck as a follow in.

    BRING BACK CROSSFIRE!

    Just like us to replace an American icon with British ‘royalty’. If Piers needs a warmup act to juice the crowd he needs to check his material because his act will not play well in the U.S. Two years tops.
