BBC television personality Larry Paxman testified before a British government panel inquiry Wednesday, claiming that CNN host and former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan shared specific instructions on how to hack into people’s cell phones.

Donald Trump sat down with Piers Morgan to discuss the general election campaigns. It’s going to be a nasty campaign, he said, deeming Rev. Jeremiah Wright fair game. Trump further went on to say, Democrats aren’t going to bring up unfair things, so there’s nothing wrong Republicans responding to that.

On Wednesday’s edition of Piers Morgan Tonight, Catholic League president Bill Donohue offered up a candid take on same-sex marriage, telling host Piers Morgan that he would like to see “the law discriminate against all alternative lifestyles.”

On Tuesday night, Piers Morgan spilled about his hilarious hijinks involving his toilet paper collection to a stunned Conan O’Brien. “You are not afraid to admit to some peculiarities in your private life and we’ll get to them right now,” O’Brien told the CNN host. “Whoa, no we’re not!” Morgan replied. “You were arrested in 1974, no,” O’Brien asked “You like to collect strange things. You collect toilet paper, do you not?” “Um, only very particular toilet paper,” he revealed.

Jon Lovitz recently caused a stir with his profanity-laced remarks about President Obama. On Tuesday night, Piers Morgan sat down with Lovitz to discuss it. Recalling how he “believed” in Obama, Lovitz expressed how he’s grown to take issue with how the president is framing what some call “class warfare.”

After getting “off on the wrong foot,” Piers Morgan invited back The National Review‘s Jonah Goldberg — this time promising to talk about his book, A Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas.

On Monday night, Piers Morgan addressed a Vice President Biden‘s headline-making remarks about gay marriage. Over the weekend, Biden said homosexual couples should have the “exact same rights” as everyone else — and since then, his comments have brought back the national conversation about President Obama‘s “evolution” on the issue. Morgan spoke to Obama’s senior campaign strategist David Axelrod about it.

Piers Morgan sat down with Dan Rather on Tuesday night, discussing President Obama‘s record — and particularly his foreign policy, in light of his visit to Afghanistan. Both admired the president’s accomplishments, with Rather saying he deserves credit for the Osama bin Laden raid (and Morgan questioning why some aren’t doing just that).

Piers Morgan had a fiery meeting with Jonah Goldberg, of the National Review Online, on Monday night. The two vehemently disagreed on the controversy over President Obama‘s Osama bin Laden ad — and how Obama is campaigning on the issue. Goldberg insisted he’s not criticizing the president’s handling of the raid, but rather his attack on Mitt Romney.

Tonight’s episode of Piers Morgan Tonight was a special one– an hour with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who answered an hour’s worth of candid questions about everything from politics to his finest moments and, of course, sex. The Dalai Lama explained to Morgan why he had chosen a celibate lifestyle and the peace he acquired from it, and what exactly goes through his mind when an attractive woman walks by.

Playing a clip from an unaired Piers Morgan interview with the Dalai Lama on CNN, Fox & Friends‘ hosts marveled at the revelation that the Tibetan spiritual leader, when asked about leaders he is impressed by, named South African President Nelson Mandela and former U.S. President George W. Bush.

On Tuesday night, Piers Morgan sat down with Karen and Rick Santorum in the former GOP hopeful’s first interview since dropping out of the race. They covered everything from campaign gaffes and Karen’s reactions to them, to, of course, his as-yet-unofficial endorsement of Mitt Romney.

Piers Morgan may be a huge enough fan of America to move here and dedicate the last segment of his program every night to something great about it, but when the sovereignty of the United Kingdom is insulted, he takes up the line of attack. Tonight, Sean Penn, who has newly rechristened himself as some sort of Latin American populist advocate, learned this first-hand as he defended comments against Prince William for visiting the Falkland Islands on a military mission after Argentine president Cristina Kirchner threatened to take action to take the islands back.

Someone call the CNN bookers. It looks like Piers Morgan and Touré are back at their favorite method of scheduling TV appointments; yelling at each other. Just a few weeks after Morgan and Touré turned a previous row on Twitter into a fascinating (and heated) debate on the Trayvon Martin case, the two are fighting again.

On his show Tuesday night, Piers Morgan spoke to Tavis Smiley and Cornel West about the controversy surrounding Ted Nugent‘s comments about President Obama. Morgan noted we should take Nugent with a grain of salt. Somewhat similarly, Smiley said we shouldn’t be giving such remarks so much national attention.

As Piers Morgan noted towards the end of his chat, Robert De Niro isn’t particularly fond of interviews. Nonetheless, De Niro sat with Morgan and answered a range of questions about all sorts of topics: America’s economic future, how to pull it together, the Buffett Rule, Trayvon Martin, and his favorite living actors. De Niro seemed optimistic for the nation, but hoped the divisiveness in political talk would not diminish the optimism of the nation.

My personal favorite cast member, Taran Killam, got a featured sketch in for the last half hour of the show in a reprisal of his Piers Morgan impression. He was discussing the Trayvon Martin case and had many guests on to weight in, including Florida governor Jeb Bush (Jason Sudeikis, not being especially funny) and Law & Order: SVU star Ice-T (played by Fred Armisen in a goatee that made him so square-jawed I initially thought he was Josh Brolin).

Josh Romney defended his mother on Thursday’s Piers Morgan Tonight, saying that Ann Romney “did some of the hardest work you can do.” He and his brothers “were a lot of work for her,” he said. Politically, Piers Morgan, asked, “this has been fantastic, hasn’t it?”

ABC legal analyst and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams visited Piers Morgan‘s CNN program Wednesday night, where he weighed in on the latest developments in the Trayvon Martin case. At this point, he explained, George Zimmerman‘s lawyer can ask for a hearing to “basically test out his defense, the ‘Stand Your Ground’ defense.”

George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, is now officially charged and behind bars. Piers Morgan received the first reaction from family– his brother Robert Zimmerman– who expressed some relief in George Zimmerman being in a place where police will protect him from attack, but arguing the “most courageous” decision for the prosecutor would have been not to convict.

On Tuesday night, Trayvon Martin‘s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, spoke to Piers Morgan, joined by the Martins’ attorney Benjamin Crump. Martin said Zimmerman being missing in action doesn’t “sit well with us” — because if they can’t find him, how can they hold him accountable?

“You got so angry, you shook your microphone off… fortunately, your voice is so loud it didn’t make much of a difference,” Piers Morgan informed Lewis Black towards the end of his interview with the disgruntled comic. They chatted for two segments, on everything from how Black would solve America’s gun woes to why he isn’t particularly good at Tebowing and how hopeful he finds America when he goes on tour.

CNN’s Piers Morgan sat down with Carson Daly on NBC’s The Last Call, where he revisited his contentious interview with Toure. Morgan revealed he would’ve liked to have countered Touré’s mentions of his nationality by bringing up South African leader Nelson Mandela.

On Wednesday, Ted Nugent went on Piers Morgan‘s show to discuss the Trayvon Martin case. During his appearance, he argued that George Zimmerman, as a neighborhood watchman, should be armed. In a radio interview on Thursday, Nugent responded to that segment, saying Morgan or anybody else who tries to take him on will always lose: “they can’t win against truth.”

Craig Sonner, the elusive lawyer for Trayvon Martin killer George Zimmerman who tricked Lawrence O’Donnell into cross-examining a chair, emerged from media hiding tonight to talk to Piers Morgan, tonight accompanied by fellow attorney Hal Uhrig. The two lawyers appeared to on the defensive, arguing that Zimmerman legally carried his weapon and killed in self-defense, and ultimately accusing Morgan of “litigating the case in public” and refusing to answer questions.
