Piers Morgan, who last week gave more details about his new 60-minute show for Rupert Murdoch’s Talk TV, revealed Thursday that his former American’s Got Talent co-host Sharon Osbourne is also joining the fledgling network.Morgan took to Twitter today to reveal Osbourne would have a show on the soon-to-launch UK channel that is being positioned as a competitor to BBC News, Sky News and GB News.
The network is eyeing a spring 2022 debut.“So what I’m really looking for in my co-workers at Talk TV is somebody who is, well, a bit like me,” Morgan said into the camera. “Very opinionated, fearless, funny, knows their own mind, not afraid to speak it, unpredictable, maybe a little big dangerous.
But also somebody who every time they open their gobby little mouth, it makes global news.”That’s followed by Osbourne sliding into the picture alongside him. “Um, where do I sign, Piers?” she asks.Osbourne, who was also was a judge on the the UK’s version of The X Factor, will host a weeknight primetime current affairs panel program, according to Murdoch’s News UK, which owns the channel.
She joins a lineup that includes Morgan’s Piers Morgan’s Uncensored and a news and current affairs program hosted by former The Sun political editor Tom Newton Dunn.Things are set to get even more opinionated on Talk TV…@piersmorgan | @MrsSOsbourne | #TheTalk pic.twitter.com/hWXGsIrsRC— The Talk (@TheTalkUK) March 17, 2022Morgan and Osbourne have more in common than just AGT.
