Piers was in his element, leading his army of anti-woke warriors to launch disruptive new channel, TalkTV.
No topics were off the table — he slayed “Princess Pinocchio” and tackled Trump.
But there was a sense of humour to it.
When Piers pulled out a dossier of all the insults he had fired at the former US President — right before they chatted — there were shades of the banter we all so loved on Good Morning Britain.

Viewers lapped it up, with one calling it “the television moment of the year so far”.
Another shared their excitement about the return of their favourite presenter, posting: “Loving having you back on TV @piersmorgan. I missed listening to you!”
As he confidently steered his show solo, Piers showed he’s moved on from his “divorce” from former telly wife Susanna.
Elsewhere on the channel’s launch night, The News Desk started strong, with an exclusive interview with the mother of British PoW Aiden Aslin.

And Sharon Osbourne showed her former employers what they were missing with a feisty, fun debut on her chat show, The Talk.
The telly personality was ousted from the American show of the same name for speaking her mind.
But if her quick-witted barbs and unique critique on last night’s show were anything to go by, the United States’ loss is the UK’s gain.
Fans were also thrilled to see Jeremy Kyle join Sharon on the panel in his eagerly-awaited return to the screen.
