Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes Hall of Fame musician and songwriter Slash for an honest and revealing primetime exclusive.

Born Saul Hudson, the former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist opens up about his well-chronciled drug and alcohol abuse:

"No, I don't have any regrets about any of it. And it was a lot of fun. And I think a lot of that whole sort of lifestyle, that freedom of being able to do whatever you want to do and have a good time however you want to do it is all great," says the 46-year-old rocker. "But it catches up with you at some point, you don't see it coming."

Clean and sober now for nearly seven years, Slash tells the host that his passion and commitment to the craft was the key to kicking his habits: FULL POST

As "Piers Morgan Tonight" rolls out another edition of "Guest Host Week," on Tuesday Regis Philbin occupies the host chair, while his good friend David Letterman joins the show as an exclusive guest.

Together accounting for more than eight decades in front of the camera, the iconic pair have seen the industry go through a variety of changes since they first arrived on set:

"Now, you see, over the years, talk show hosts have not gotten involved in politics," starts Philbin. "Because they fear...that if one portion of your audience is a Republican or Democrat and they don't like what you're saying, they're going to tune you out."

More than 30 years since first hosting his own show, Letterman insists that the only thing he endorses, is entertainment:

"I know what your point is and I have been guilty of appearing to be playing partisan politics. However, I'd just like to say that for the record, I am a registered Independent," says the 65-year-old. "You go where the material takes you. Poor Bill Clinton, no president that I am aware of got hammered harder than Bill - President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky situation. We beat up on him. We still use him as a reference. And then we were desperate. We thought, well, this was so easy and then we got George Bush." FULL POST

Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes business executive and author Jack Welch for his unique blend of financial insight and political commentary.

Joining Piers Morgan for a face to face interview, the former Chairman and CEO of General Electric offers his opinion on the state of the race for the White House, suggesting that Mitt Romney is uniquely credentialed for the job:

"He ought to tak about his qualifications, and private equity gives him incredible breadth of qualifications, along with being governor of a state and other things," says Welch. "But I mean, without question, the idea of being embarrassed because you're in private equity, is the silliest argument in the world."

As the Romney-founded Bain Capital continues to surface as a campaign topic, Welch allows that the former Massachusetts governor may have made a strategic error: FULL POST

Beginning on Tuesday, "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes the return of "Guest Host Week," and it does so by inviting a pair of icons boasting a combined eight decades of television chops.

With the incomparable Regis Philbin keeping Piers Morgan's seat warm, the legendary David Letterman pulls up the guest's chair, as the two longtime friends fill the hour with candid commentary and engaging exchange.

As the topic turns to more serious matter, Philbin asks Letterman to review his first show following September 11th:

"I remember that night and I remember not wanting to go back, not feeling ready to go back, but knowing we had to go back," says Letterman. "And, you know, my concerns were minimal compared to people who...really suffered."

On Tuesday, Piers Morgan used his "Only in America" segment to protest the pushing of plasma, as news is reported that a sampling of Ronald Reagan's blood will be available to the top bidder.

Drawn shortly after the assassination attempt on his life in 1981, the glass vial is in the hands of a man who's father worked in the lab where the blood work was done. As Morgan details, the unnamed blood banker has opted against donating it to the Reagan Library:

"He said Reagan would have – wait for it – appreciated his capitalistic endeavors," explained the host. "The seller, whose name hasn't been revealed added: 'I'm a fan of Reaganomics. And I'm sure he would have appreciated me selling it, rather than donating it.'"

With tongue placed firmly in cheek, Morgan disagreed: FULL POST

Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes renowned television personality and business magnate Donald Trump for a primetime exclusive interview.

On the heels of the debate surrounding Barack Obama's Bain Capital commentary – and Cory Booker's subsequent reaction – Trump supports the mayor of New Jersey's initial stance:

"What he said, the first time, was 100 percent correct," declares Trump. "Then of course, I can imagine, the wrath came down upon him, and when it came down, he changed his tune quite a bit. But, he's a good man, what he said the first time was true, and I'm sure he would tell you that if you were just sitting and having a beer together."

With an admitted interest in politics, the host of NBC's "The Apprentice" has publicly endorsed GOP candidate Mitt Romney, and feels the Republicans need to be more aggressive in their effort to unseat the incumbent: FULL POST

Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., Piers Morgan welcomes his one-time "boss," as Donald Trump joins the first-ever winner of "The Celebrity Apprentice" for an exclusive primetime interview.

A Mitt Romney surrogate and keen follower of politics, Trump suggests the Republican party pull no punches in an effort to unseat Barack Obama:

"I think it's going to be a nasty campaign," says the business magnate. "But if it's going to be nasty, it's got to be nasty on both sides, not just one side."

Presumably, Trump is referring to Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago-based pastor long-tied to the president. As audio of Wright speaking out against Obama surfaces, the guest suggests it's fair game:

Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes one of the most-revered and successful blues musicians of all-time, as Gregg Allman sits down for a candid and honest primetime exclusive.

Married and divorced six times, tonight the 64-year-old grandfather reveals plans to tie the knot once again, as he's joined in the studio by his 24-year-old fiancé. Just don't mistakenly refer to her as wife number seven:

"That's not what she's becoming. She's becoming wife number one," Allman tells Piers Morgan. "I don't have a wife. Haven't had one for years."

On Monday evening, "Piers Morgan Tonight" got out of the blocks in a hurry, welcoming former Olympic Champion Marion Jones for her first primetime interview since serving prison time.

After capturing five medals in Sydney in 2000, Jones was forced to forfeit her achievements and accolades after ultimately admitting to using performance enhancing drugs.

A perjury charge landed her in jail, hardly the finish line she had once strived for:

"I think to put things in perspective, when I was a child, I used to always want so bad for my name to be written in the paper, for my accomplishments, of course," said Jones. "My reality now is sometimes I don't want it written in the paper."

Also on Monday, meanwhile, host Piers Morgan welcomed former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

On the heels of recent commentary focused around Mitt Romney and Bain Capital, Gingrich offered his unique insight, supporting private equity, and questioning the tactics of the incumbent: FULL POST
