  • Editorial Cartoon: Piers Morgan

    Editorial cartoon: Piers Morgan

    There is a new talk show host in town.  Piers Morgan (U.S. readers might know him as a former judge on America’s Got Talent) has taken over Larry King’s spot on CNN.  In his first week alone, he interviewed Oprah, George Clooney and Howard Stern.  I’ve probably watched his show more than I did Larry’s in the last 3 years combined. 

    Yet with such high profile guests in the early weeks, what happens when he is only left with being able to interview “celebrities” the likes of  the Kardashian sisters or similar?  Would he have to break down and try to nab an interview with Madonna, Howie Mandell, or Heather Mills (all according to the NY Mag are on his banned list).

    Side note:  Piers was a hard one to caricature for me.  After many attempts, what you see above I was finally happy with and my wife was able to identify without prompting.  But now the more I look at it, I can’t stop seeing Eric Stoltz in Mask.  Sorry Piers.

    Update:  Ok I was completely kidding when I said the Kardashian joke but I guess he indeed did interview them last week and it was not a ratings success.

  • Thanks to all – Over 1000 hits

    Over the weekend given that I was quite prolific last week and put up three new toons, for the first time ever I had 1000 hits in one day on this blog.  Most of you will laugh because you probably get thousands of hits but oh well. I even reached around number 70 on the WordPress Blog of the Day.   Once you get rid of all the professional posters like CNN, Fox, and People Magazine which tend to always take the top spots, I might have been in the top 25.

    Also have been getting a lot of hits from a link I posted in a comment at JokesFunny.wordpress.com so go check it out as well.

    Thanks to all who visited, commented and retweeted. Away from computer this week so can’t churn out anything until later in the week.
