Piers Morgan plans to ‘go nuclear’ on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show tonight

Politicon 2018 at the LA convention Center, Sunday.

Tucker Carlson is a douchebag, a white supremacist and, as we learned recently, a frequent dinner companion of Matt Gaetz and Gaetz’s 17-year-old girlfriends. Carlson has his own primetime show on Fox News and for some reason, he’s teflon on that network. I know it’s Fox News and everything, but other anchors have gotten in trouble for espousing truly heinous ideologies before, and they’ve actually had to face some consequences. Not Tucker. Never Tucker. So… long story short, Piers Morgan is washing up on American shores once again, this time for an interview on Carlson’s show. Just two normal, white supremacist misogynists, talking about how much they hate Black women.

Piers Morgan is set to “go nuclear” in his first major interview since leaving Good Morning Britain. Piers announced earlier today he will take part in a major tell-all chat on US-TV on Monday night with Fox Nation’s Tucker Carlson.

In it Piers, 56, will reveal in detail why he decided to walk away from his role on the ITV show following the furore over his comments about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. And as well as turning his sights on Meghan any Harry ITV execs are likely to be diving behind the sofa too.

The Sun can reveal how Piers is set to spell out how he believes some people running the channel are increasingly giving in to the woke brigade – and letting down some viewers in the process.

A source said: “Piers won’t be pulling any punches. He is still very disappointed about the way things finished at GMB. For a while there was anger, but now that’s switched to a determination – a determination to continue standing up for what he believes in. He remains 100 percent convinced he was right about what he said with regards to the Meghan and Harry interview. And he remains 100 percent convinced walking away was the right decision. Piers felt, in the end, he actually had no choice. For a long time he felt certain people at ITV – not all – wanted him to tone down his style. But there was no chance of that. Piers wears his heart on his sleeve and in the end walking away became a point of principle.”

Meanwhile, Piers has told pals a large number of GMB fans who have already switched off since his departure will follow him to wherever he goes next.

“Piers senses there is a real momentum building among people who don’t want to be told how to think or how they should express their opinions,” our source added. “He’s been inundated with letters, emails and cards from people saying they will tune in wherever he pitches up next. Piers therefore thinks he has a duty to return to the screen and provide a voice for all the people who don’t have the platform which he is lucky to occupy.”

[From The Sun]

While I loathe Tucker Carlson with every fiber of my being, I kind of wonder if Tucker might actually call out Piers Morgan a little bit? I’m not expecting it or anything, but I’ve seen Piers go on his stupid, asinine diatribes about Meghan and I doubt Tucker Carlson will just let ALL of that craziness just sit there, unchallenged. Maybe he will though? I mean, the worst possible scenario is that Carlson goes all-in and puts an even bigger target on the Sussexes and gives a huge platform for Piers Morgan to throw a giant tantrum on American airwaves. But I feel like sh-t might get messy, especially if Carlson challenges Piers in any way. Piers can’t handle that. He’s too thin-skinned and delusional. He’s getting off on all of this. It’s an ego trip and a lot more.

    Here’s hoping Piers takes Tucker with as he goes “nuclear.”

    I can think of no better guys to get nuked. They’re both already radioactive and toxic.

    • detritus says:

      My read is that he’s going mask off. Carlson will let him be as racism and sexist as he wants.

      I’ll show you! By revealing what a deeply rancid meat sack I am – Piers probably.

    • minx says:

      Morgan is overestimating how much Americans will care.

      • pottymouth pup says:

        Carlson’s MAGA racist audience will lap up everything Morgan dishes out

    • Emily_C says:

      I was thinking that. A small, localized nuclear detonation. Sounds great.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      I find this hilarious. i also read somewhere that Dan Whooton either has now been on Faux or will be. I think that’s the perfect place for both P*ss Morgan & Whooton–the MAGAs and white supremacists are the audience. Should work really well for them.

      They will also taint the pool in the US if they were hoping to get on our regular media–who would want to touch them? I can’t imagine ANYONE actually going to Faux and watching either one of them except those who already watch Faux. They can all have a wonderful little white supremacy love fest.

  2. Nicole says:

    The headline says it all. He plans on having a calculated outburst because he’s a reality TV villain/real life scumbag.

  3. Becks1 says:

    Ha. He can go nuclear all he wants on Fox News. It’s not the equivalent of an Oprah interview, sorry!

    I do wonder how much he will push the “Meghan wasnt suicidal” bit considering that we have since heard from RRs like Valentine Low that they knew at the time how bad things were for Meghan. It wasn’t something many of them learned for the first time during the interview.

  4. MaryContrary says:

    He’s “trying to get his story out there”? WTF? All he’s done for the last three years is rail against Meghan. It’s ridiculous. What a terrible person. Also-Tucker Carlson is his equal in awfulness. I’d rather poke my eyes out with a fork than watch the two of them together.

    • Shawna says:

      Real journalists stay OUT of the story. Piers, dude, you have no story. And you’ve had all the platforms you’ve ever wanted. Gross stalker.

    • Original Jenns says:

      Exactly. And what a coincidence that he’s going for the US market after Meghan was driven from the UK back home. Why not do the interview in the UK since that’s where the subject matters, right? No, he’s literally stalking them to another country. Please, please, Meg and Hazz, take out an RO just to keep him out. We have enough racists here without importing this ahole.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Is Tucker Carlson the person on Faux that is listed as entertainment and that’s the reason he can say anything he wants? Because it’s not news? Does anyone else know something about this?

    • Piers Morgan is the epitome of a man having a narcissistic meltdown when told ‘no’.

  5. Haylie says:

    He’s spent the past 4 years telling everyone how he feels and how they should feel about Meghan Markle, but he doesn’t want to be told how to think? He’s a victim of a woke mob because he quit GMB when challenged in the most polite way?

    It’s amazing how when you cancel yourself, it’s still the fault of liberals.

  6. Amy Bee says:

    Tucker’s not going to challenge Piers. They’re on the same page and the US right wing believes in the white supremacist ideal of the british royal family. Piers is going to talk about Winston Churchill and freedom of speech, that’s right in Tucker’s wheel house.

    Another thing this also could be an indication that Piers Morgan has signed onto Murdoch’s new UK news channel.

    • Cecilia says:

      I think he already been signed by GB news tbh. And do MAGA’s still watch fox news? I thought they canceled it after they called the election for Biden. + i wonder how much of a succes piers is truly going to be, since he criticized trump he isn’t very favorable among the die hard MAGA’s either.

      • aquarius64 says:

        I believe the creep held Trump accountable for the US Capitol riots. The other major US networks will give a hard pass.

    • Kalana says:

      Tucker is a white supremacist.

    • STRIPE says:

      Yep totally agree. Fox is high in “cancel culture” right now and Piers, being a “victim” of it, is right up their narrative right now. Also Tucker hates “the elites” (even though he literally is one but whatever…) and who is more elite than members of the BRF?

      He will get 0 pushback.

  7. Aidevee says:

    There is a new right-wing news channel brewing in the UK called GB News- they’ve been on twitter recently announcing their new line up. I reckon this is a teaser for Piers to hint that he is going to join as their ‘big star’.

    I reckon he’s planned this all along and that him swanning of gmb was all part of this naff publicity performance.

    Or, it could just be two place, stale middle aged males laying into a pregnant woman on national TV.

  8. Ariel says:

    So, it is a pro-white supremacy hour- moreso than the usual dog whistles.
    Hard pass.

  9. Cecilia says:

    Yeah don’t hold out any hope for tucker channeling piers. Don’t forget that fox news is murdoch owned.

  10. Tom says:

    You may call it determination, Piers, but most of us call it obsession. This move only proves GMB made the right decision.

  11. LightPurple says:

    So glad Fox News is focused on the major issues of our times like Piers Morgan’s inability to handle the rejection of a Black woman because she preferred an actual prince to his grotesque sexual advances. It’s not like there’s a raging pandemic killing people by the thousands daily or anything.

    • Bryn says:

      Its not like the whole world is going to sh!t at an alarming rate. Who cares about real issues when you can listen to a lunatic rant about how a woman he doesn’t know couldn’t possibly be having mental health issues because he says so.

  12. Sunshine says:

    Piers’ job will be to attempt to dehumanise her…. just like how they do all people of colour.
    Also know that this is sanctioned. Despite his obsession, he does not operate in isolation.

  13. Louise177 says:

    LOL at the thought of Tucker pushing back. I don’t understand why nobody has pushed back on Peirs for claiming he and Meghan were friends when they met only once or twice. He even admits it in a couple of clips but he keeps telling this narrative that they were close and Meghan ghosted him.

  14. Talie says:

    The ego is interesting – does he really think, like, 17 million people in America are going to tune in and watch this?

  15. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    I’ve never given either of them any of my time. I feel guilty for typing this lol

  16. Noodle says:

    I hate the tiny little microphone on Tucker’s face in that first picture — an inordinate amount. It is so out of proportion with the rest of his bloated mug.

  17. Lila says:

    They both look like they haven’t changed their wardrobe since prep school. And in Piers’ case, haven’t figured out how to press a collar, either.

  18. Amelie says:

    WIth any luck, Piers will get Tucker to say something so grossly inappropriate that Tucker will be fired from Fox News like Sharon Osbourne got fired from The Talk. It probably won’t happen but it is amazing what the ramifications of the Oprah interview have been. It already got two white racists off the airwaves (though I realize Piers may join that new right wing channel in Britain people have been mentioning), how many more will go down because of it?

    • Greywacke says:

      I keep thinking that this could backfire spectacularly because those two egos in the same room will egg each other on to say things so outrageous that one or two careers implodes.

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        I don’t think their careers will implode–they’re hoping to get more viewers. If the mainstream media picks it up and reports on it–they get advertising for the new UK show and for Faux News. I hope EVERYONE ignores them.

  19. Maida says:

    Enraged middle-aged dudebros high-fiving each other over how “brave” they are for acting like entitled assholes. I do not expect Carlson to push back on Morgan at all.

  20. Leah says:

    He’s always running his mouth about politics that he has no dog in. He’s not an American citizen so he and his opinions need to take several seats over by the trump dumpster.

    Besides I thought he went away after his awful rant against Meghan.

  21. Maria says:

    As if anyone cares, lol.

  22. Midge says:

    Guys like this hate women like Meghan and AOC because these smart, successful, gorgeous, confident women would NEVER want these misogynistic douchenozzels. That is what triggered Piers. He was told on air that Meghan blew him off and that’s why he’s so salty.

  23. aquarius64 says:

    Railing on Fox Nation will not get him the broad audience Pus wants. Does this clown want CBS to air an outtake from Oprah’s interview that show Meghan explaining the real reason she ghosted her stalker? If it’s MeToo level Morgan is done.

  24. Liz version 700 says:

    God he is gross. Tucker is also gross, but piers even has the fish sticks King beat. A giant Nope ft on me. I am sure if nothing else there is a rerun of Guy’s Grocery Games I could watch lol

  25. L4frimaire says:

    Piers is a douche, a racist, and a misogynist. Let him make a deranged ass of himself on US tv, while Tucker looks on in smug bewilderment. Fox saw the Oprah ratings and wants some of that. I just hope he is asked about Trump and the 2nd amendment in between his Meghan bashing. Hopefully they’ll play that clip where Alex Beresford drags him before he walks off.

  26. Lorelei says:

    My first reaction to this was “What exactly is ‘going nuclear’ for Piers? What does he intend to say tonight that’s so much worse than all of the vitriol he’s already spouted over the past few years?”

    Then my second thought was, great, fans of Tucker’s show — the most vile people in America — even ones who typically couldn’t care less about the BRF, are going to come away thinking that Harry and Meghan are the villains here, and it will give the now-bored MAGAts someone new to hate.

    But I guess that was always to be expected from Murdoch.

  27. Scal says:

    Tucker’s dad is also hot garbage. He’s the main bad guy in the ‘lady and the dale’ documentary. He’s a smug douchey LGBTQI hating apple from the same rotten tree.

  28. Emily says:

    What could Piers Morgan possibly have to say that he hasn’t said in the dozens of articles that he’s written about Meghan? Even if I had Fox News, you couldn’t pay me to watch this boring tantrum.

  29. Zatfig&Kitty says:

    He’ a racist, misogynistic snowflake loosely wrapped in a busted sausage casing.

  30. whateveryousay says:

    It’s so stupid of Piers to try that with the American market. So far no one has been accepting what the British media has to say about Meghan Markle. And honestly, I don’t think most Fox viewers will care. They either find her inoffensive and or they like her. Which is weird when you consider how many white Americans acted about Barack and Michelle Obama.

  31. WithTheAmerican says:

    Let’s talk about Tuckers plastic surgery. It’s what they do to women, so fair game. He was a bloated chubby prep frat boy who looked like he would gang rape a 17 year old, now he looks like a tighter, liposuctioned version of said frat boy.

  32. Keri says:

    Any Celebitchy lawyers out there? Does Meghan have grounds for a lawsuit against Piss Morgan based on harassment and slander? Any judge who listens to just one of his rants would have to be insane to deny it. He’s been doing this for 4 plus years, almost every day, non-stop. How strong a case would she have if she decided to pursue this?

    I can’t help thinking about what Dan Wootton and others in the UK press did to Caroline Flack. Wootton cowardly tried to remove all his vicious articles on Caroline after she committed suicide but the internet is forever. This piece of filth’s new target is Meghan with Piss Morgan as ringleader in charge.

    • booboocita says:

      I don’t know about a lawsuit for harassment, but if Piss Morgan truly goes nuclear, Meghan may have grounds for a libel lawsuit. The libel and slander laws in this country are quite different from those in the UK, and weighted in favor of the person libeled, not the person making the libel. In the UK, Meghan would have to prove that Piss’s statements were false, defamatory, and caused her grave harm. Here in the States, all she has to do is prove they were false. There’s an exception for statements made about public persons and officials, but the exception doesn’t apply if the comments are demonstrably false (“Meghan eats puppies and uses their bones to make oat milk lattes,” as opposed to “Meghan is a horrible person”).

      I can’t believe for one minute that Piss will be able to restrain himself. In fact, I’m counting on him to bust out with all sorts of lies about Meghan, delivered at high volume and in a hysterical tone. That’s all Meghan will need to sue him out of existence in the United States. The laws are different in the UK, and I have no idea if Tucker Carlson has an international reach (lord, I hope not), but Piss wants a career in the USA, so … Bring it, Meghan!

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        booboocita, unfortunately, Tucker Carlson has already been sued and Faux lawyer in essence sold a “you can’t believe anything he says and no reasonable viewer would believe him” argument and won. I don’t think they can get either one for slander or liable, but that’s the point. I guess having P*ss on Tucker will carry the torch forward in the US? I can’t imagine there would be enough interest, but this is Murdoch so who knows. And, who cares what the white supremacy party says? That’s a minority percentage of the US–regardless of what Murdoch and far right Republicans would like everyone to believe.

  33. Mel says:

    This so stalkerish, obsessive with hints of jealousy and unrequited love. Get a life , this is not a good look at all, it’s pathetic.

  34. Gobo says:

    I wonder. I wonder do people like Tucker remember Piers and his gun control campaign. I wonder if this wouldn’t be an ideal opportunity for Tucker to set Piers up, and also be able to claim in the future “I can’t be a sexist racist, I stood up for Meghan.”.

  35. CC2 says:

    Why would tucker defend Meghan? He insulted her after the Oprah interview. He has always been scum.

  36. kerwood says:

    This is going to be great! Piers is going to think that he’s among friends and speaking to an audience that LOVES him (even though I doubt the average MAGA could find Great Britain on a map much less know who the fuck Piers Morgan is) and will go off. I imagine spittle will be flying in all directions. And in the end, all it’s going to be is an interview of a racist, past middle-aged man who can’t get over the fact that a successful, beautiful Black woman didn’t want to have anything to do with him. I won’t be watching but I doubt Piers is going to do himself any favours. He might think the punters back home will buy his claim that he’s a big deal in the USofA, but I think most people know the truth about that. Old Piers tried to make it in the US, FAILED and ended up on a morning news show back in Blighty. Take THAT, Oprah!

    Edited to add: I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Piers was given permission to ‘go nuclear’ by Baldilocks himself. Baldi better hope that Piers doesn’t get so worked up that the announces that he’s got the royal seal of approval on all the shit he spews about the Duchess of Sussex.

    • L4frimaire says:

      I remember a few years ago Morgan went to Hollywood to do some Oscar show and his panel consisted of himself , Sharon Osbourne, Perez Hilton and some other loser person talking amongst themselves at the saddest, most desperate panel out there. This was after he’d already started in on Meghan and used Hollywood to insult her. It was lame. I suspect this will be kinda dumb as well, full of hot air and creepy,frat boy racism. Fox is looking to fill their Maga vacuum and, as interesting to some people as Harry and Meghan are, they are private people in the US, are minding their business, earning money,which Americans see as a virtue, and not of much concern to the average Fox viewer. Jill Biden’s stockings will bother them more.

  37. aquarius64 says:

    Outside of Fox and the LA Times no major US media outlet is chomping at the bit for this slamfest. The George Floyd murder trial is dominating the news, along with voter restriction laws, potential COVID surges, a proposed infrastructure bill to name a few. The White House Easter Egg Roll today will get more press, especially with the Easter Bunny wearing a mask (no I am not kidding).

  38. Robin says:

    This man’s job is to criticise, shout, froth at the mouth and talk about a woman he once met. It is really, really weird, and rather than being freaked out by him, people pay him to do it. No doubt he carries on at home, thinking and talking about Meghan. The awful thing is, he’s married. I didn’t know this until recently. His wife must be like Diana. In years she’ll look back and think “There were three people in my marriage.”

    • Emily_C says:

      Take this with a grain of salt, because I didn’t see the sources, but I did see people on Twitter say that his wife is every bit as obsessed with Harry as he is with Meghan. So… that’s their marriage.

      • Stacy Dresden says:

        Terrifying

      • Robin says:

        Emily, that’s really interesting and thanks for the update. It’s now truly awful. It’s actually gross. No doubt, like most married people who obsess about other married couples, they are absolutely seething with jealousy.

  39. Tiffany :) says:

    So it will be a program with 2 ruddy faced bloated white men screaming about how put upon they are. Who would voluntarily watch such a show?

  40. aquarius64 says:

    This is funny. Dan Simon just tore into Pus on Twitter

    https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/david-simon-piers-morgan-twitter-tucker-carlson-b1827090.html

    PM is NOT going to want America to see this. It opens the floods for all his dirty laundry to be aired on US TV. So far US TV is not touching it.

    • lemonylips says:

      This was brilliant! Going after David Simon? C’mon, one does not simply go after Simon. He doesn’t take any bs. And how Piss first said he liked the Wire but then took it back….

  41. Well Wisher says:

    After he left GMB he set an asking price for £10 per year. It is not unreasonable that so far no takers, can be an audition to return to the US. It is alleged that he was a sex pest so he was let go during his jaunt at CNN. The cultural wars and grievances culture is a bit wearying for most, so one would assume that he wants to work for a right media wing establishment.

    I do understand why Meghan rubbed Piss Morgan the wrong way, she was at ease with the upper class, where he is still actively seeking acceptance, even with money he’s at best a nouveau riche. He may have attended public school with them but can only be accepted as one who is employed by them. It must have raised his hackles that a biracial woman spurned his advances and went on to marry a prince, all the while he kept assuring himself that he is better than the other, only to discover despite his best efforts, she remains firmly in those who matter consciousness as a full fledged decent human being.
    That, and that she never reached out despite his best bullying, nor even included herself in the complaint against him. It is as if he does not exist, so he huffs, puffs and whinge. The man has terrible manners and seem very antisocial.

  42. India says:

    I watched this last night. Piers obfuscated the truth. Going on and on that Meghan slammed the Queen when in fact MEGHAN specifically said it was not TQ and Philip who did any of it. He was just blabbering out of his ass.
