Piers Morgan versus Larry King: This is war!

Clearly, former CNN prime-time stars Larry King and Piers Morgan aren’t big fans of each other.

After King derided Morgan’s interview skills and called him pompous, Morgan responded on Twitter on Friday that King was a “graceless, petty little man.” Morgan’s 9pm CNN show was cancelled this year. He had replaced King in that time slot in 2011.

King, in an interview with WGRF in Buffalo, says he had trouble watching his successor because the interviews were all about him.

Morgan, in turn, criticised King’s ratings, posting a clip where King famously addressed Ringo Starr as “George,” and writing, “Get over it, you daft old goat.”
