Piers Morgan Responds to Larry King's Critique of His Show (VIDEO)

Larry King hasn't seen much of his successor's show, 'Piers Morgan Tonight.' But commenting on what he has glimpsed, King told BBC Radio last Friday, "He's good, but not that dangerous."

Clearly Piers Morgan had heard King's opinion by the time Maria Menounos caught up with him. "Larry King is my hero -- he can say what he likes. I'm just very grateful to even be sitting in his old chair," Morgan told her on 'Access Hollywood Live' (weekdays, syndicated on NBC).

As for King's comments, "It's very early days for the show, and perhaps I haven't had quite the chance to show my -- DAAA! -- dangerous side yet." His mid-sentence yelp in her face was to prove that "danger can come when you least expect it."
