Is Piers Morgan the best TV interviewer in Britain as he claims?

PIERS MORGAN has claimed Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross are not great interviewers and that he is now the best TV interviewer in Britain.

 

Piers Morgan has said he doesn't think he is in the same category as hosts like Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton.   

Morgan, 48, whose ITV show Life Stories is known for reducing stars to tears, did admit that he rated Michael Parkinson.
Asked whether he was the best TV interviewer in Britain, Morgan, who also does work in the US with CNN, said: "Yes, because I don't think that my so-called rivals do what I do.
"I'm the only person who sits down with people on TV for two or three hours to truncate to a one-hour show. So I think I'm almost in a category of my own."

Morgan did admit he can't compete with comedians like Graham Norton . “I think I'm almost in a category of my own”       

Speaking to the Radio Times, the former Daily Mirror editor, added: "I can't compete with Graham Norton for the comedy he brings and I think he's got a terrific show.

"Or Jonathan Ross. Or Alan Carr. They're all entertainers and comedians, really."
Morgan claims he never sets out to make his guests cry, adding "you don't want to become known as just the crying show".
