Piers Morgan shared the email from David Carr that signaled the end of his CNN career
In September 2014, Piers Morgan officially left CNN.
He began anchoring the network's 9 p.m. slot in January 2011, replacing "Larry King Live."
Last February, rumors began swirling that Morgan's time at the news network was coming to a close after the show's ratings plummeted and Chelsea Handler called him a "terrible interviewer."
We may (or may not) be getting a little insight on some of the behind the scenes happenings in a tweet from Morgan on Friday, the day after beloved New York Times columnist, David Carr died.

You see in the tweet that Carr reached out to Morgan to tell him what Morgan likely already knew: the CNN show Morgan headlined - the one in which, sometimes, Morgan himself became the story, was coming to a quick and unceremonious end.
But, Carr being the diligent reporter he was, offered Morgan a chance to speak about it on the record, and he did.
In Carr's article, published almost exactly one year ago, he wrote "There have been times when [Morgan] didn't seem to like America very much and American audiences have been more than willing to return the favor."
Give @piersmorgan credit for owning his end and coming to phone. I respect ppl who don't just ask questions,, but answer them.

Carr pointed out that the British host could not both entertain and inform Americans while also vilifying them mercilessly. He punctuated that thought with this nugget of wisdom about working on this side of the pond: "if you want to stick out, you first have to work on fitting in."
