Two years later, Piers Morgan was recruited to edit the Daily Mirror.

His sequel, "Don't You Know Who I Am? Insider Diaries of Fame, Power and Naked Ambition" is out now. 

Piers Morgan also served as a contestant in a celebrity version of the U.K.'s "The Apprentice" which raised money for Comic Relief.

Piers Morgan also created "The Pride of Britain Awards," in which high-profile celebrities and royals honor ordinary citizens for doing extraordinary and/or heroic things.

America's Got Talent should have 2nd and 3rd place winners, offering somewhere of $100,000 for 2nd place and $50,000 for 3rd place. It would make the show more interesting.
