Celebrity Apprentice winner/“America’s Got Talent” judge, Piers Morgan, has reportedly already signed an $8.5 million dollar four-year deal to replace Larry King, who recently announced he would hang up his suspenders in the fall after 25 years of Larry King Live.

British broadcaster, who is married to Celia Walden (photos here) beat the strong competition, which included names like American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and Katie Couric, for the quality of his interviews.

Piers will take over the popular CNN 9 pm hour with his own talk show, featuring interviews with celebrities and prominent figures. The show will reportedly be taped both in New York and Los Angeles.
