With Piers Morgan the front runner to replace Larry King's talk show slot, his America's Got Talent co-stars have given him their seal of approval.

“If that happens, I just want to see if he can hook me up with an interview!” America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon told Access Hollywood.

“Piers Morgan would be amazing at that job. For the people over here in the States that may not be familiar with his background, he’s been in journalism for decades. Extremely knowledgeable, witty — I think the show would go where Larry’s taken it and beyond.”

Fellow judge Howie Mandel said: “I don’t know that America knows how fine a journalist he is.

“Even though on this show, my biggest goal is to annoy that man, and I do very well at it… I think he’s a brilliant journalist and interviewer. I go to dinner with him and it’s an interview!”

The former editor-in-chief of two major UK newspapers, told Access he couldn’t “confirm or deny anything at the moment.”

“It’s one of the biggest jobs in the world in terms of television interviewing,” he said before discussing his experience. “Back in Britain, I’m primarily known as a TV interviewer… I’m used to interviewing prime ministers and TV stars over there quite regularly.”

But he admitted: “Larry King’s suspenders are the biggest suspenders to fill in TV history. The guy, in my view, in terms of interviewing, is peerless.”
