Tonight on "Piers Morgan Tonight," Piers Morgan interview Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter – the stars of Oscar-favorite "King's Speech".
Here's a preview of the interview tonight:
Firth talked about playing King George VI. "I fell in love with him completely," he said. "I love hidden, glorious and secret heroes. I'm not very interested in people with superpowers."
The film centers on the relationship between George VI (who went by the name "Bertie") and his speech therapist, played by Rush, who worked with the king to overcome what Firth called a "crippling stammer."
The actor called it an "athletic feat just to get to the end of a sentence" for the king.
Check out the full interview tonight at 9pmET/PT (airs for intl viewers Saturday 2000 HKT/2100 CET).

Loved the movie. Colin was oustanding and deserving of every award and accolade.
Even though it's his show, it would be nice if Piers would let his guest finish a sentence before he flaps
his cake-hole and talks over the guest. VERY RUDE1
Piers sucks as an interviewer anda critic of reality shows. HOw did this jerk get to be where he is? He sucks big time.
i absolutely agree , piers morgan was a terrible choice. he interupts everyone and asks a new question before they fully answer. i have tried to watch because of the situation in Egypt but he makes it impossible to take for more than a few minutes.please cnn , start searching for a new host !
Please reschedule this show as soon as possible. I saw The King's Speech for a second time with my daughter on Wednesday. She is 42 years old, and I felt she needed a bit of historical background prior to the screening. Actor Colin Firth reaches an amazing pinnacle in this role of the man who became King George VI. I've rated this film an A+ on Ellen's Entertainment Report Card. Looking forward to Pier Morgan's interview.
Here's a link to British newsreel footage for anyone who wants to see George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother), along with the young Elizabeth and her sister Margaret Rose. I am now 71 years old, and this clip was aired when I was 10 years old. Fascinating website:

When will the Colin Firth interview be rescheduled?
I've been excited for Piers Morgan to take over Larry King and hoped that he would do well. I've seen all his interviews thus far and have a major complaint. HE INTERUPTS HIS GUEST WHEN THEY ARE SPEAKING. This is so annoying that if he continues to interupt, I will not watch his shows. Its rude. Stop it Piers.
Please reschedule the interview with Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter! I was lloking forward to this all week and now moew news on Eygpt. Isn't this covedered enough on regular news programming??
Why is there not a posting on the reschedule of the CF interview? This is so annoying.
Hopefully the interview with Colin FIrth will be rescheduled – I am surprised there was no mention of this -
CNN – say something about rescheduling the interview with Colin Firth please – was really looking forward to it!
Not happy about the change in programming from Colin Firth to Egypt coverage... particularly no mention of when it will be played. Not happy with CNN for this.....
I was greatly looking forward to the Colin Firth interview and am disappointed that it did not air. Please post a rescheduled date soon!
I planned my evening around this interview. All day there's been coverage of Egypt. How about a break??? Very disappointed. This was the first time I was going to watch Piers Morgan....and it was for Colin Firth!!!
Where the heck is Colin Firth??? I'm SO disapointed!
Piers Morgan should have explained the changes in programming, and let his viewers know if /when the Colin Firth interview would be aired. I understand that breaking news of importance will pre-empt a celebrity interview. Having said that, Larry would have remembered his audience. I enjoy the Piers Morgan show, and hope he considers us next time. One minute (or less) is all that it would have taken.
I planned my week around it, too. There was really no reason to preempt this interview with the Egypt coverage. By that time, it was the middle of the night in Egypt and nothing new was happening, so every channel was doing what they always do, rehashing forever things we've already heard.
Because Mr. Pierce is not a gentlemen but a big rude person, I wont be surprised if his CNN presence would last a season. Why he didn't announce the rescheduling of Colin Firth's interview at the beginning of his Egypt cover news show this night? Such a mediocre journalist or host whatever he is. CNN can you hear my and others frustration???
Ditto on the rescheduling information complaint. Thousands upon thousands of people who stutter are hanging on every word of publicity about this movie and the difficulty they live with. Stuttering is one of the few afflictions that remains fair game for insults and abuse by ignorant and or unfeeling people. For the first time a large peice of the general public has a chance to see that that stuttering is a speaking problem and NOT a thinking problem. This is an important interview PLEASE make sure that it is rescheduled!
please tell us when you will post the interview with colin on your website. thank you.
I have actually really enjoyed Piers's show so far. Having just seen "The King's Speech," I was especially looking forward to the interview with the outstanding cast tonight. I understand the need for live coverage of an important event, but can you please state if/when the interview will be rescheduled. Thanks.
I'm hoping Colin Firth's interview is rescheduled! Too bad it was Firth that got bumped tonight, wish it could have been the Kardashians instead. CNN - please tell us you will be airing it, or at the very least, showing it in full on the web.
man i was so looking forward to this colin firth interview and now i'm just extremely disappointed. i don't tune in to piers morgan for news on egyptian riots which has been covered all day on cnn and other news channels. and it's so rare to see colin firth interviewed on american television. i'm anxious to know if it will be rescheduled, and, if so, when.
Very angry at the Colin Firth interview not being on after a week of advertisment!! Not a word about the change or when it would be shown....this is a terrible insult to your viewers not to mention the guests themselves.
I echo much of the sentiment already mentioned. Piers does taped interviews and if CNN wanted to give credence to the importance of the immediate events they should have put someone else in charge. That being said, I don't understand why it had to fill all the time slots for the repeat showings of Piers' program. I can only hope the station recognized the drawing power of the Colin Firth interview and it will be shown on the next showdate of Piers Morgan Tonight...if not sooner! Just be sure to let everyone to know when it will be aired.
Very disappointed also when I curled up with a glass of wine expecting to see the wonderful cast of The King's Speech and instead was met with yet more news about the crisis in Egypt. It wouldn't be so bad if news was news, but most of it is simply speculation anyhow. CNN could have at least had the courtesy to inform its viewers of the postphonement of the scheduled show and when it would be rebroadcast. I don't know why TV seems to think people never can get enough of bad news. And of all things to be bumped, a show with some people you'd actually want to spend some time with!
CNN, please post when the Colin Firth interview will be shown–Thanks!!
CNN, please post when this will be rescheduled.
I, too, planned my evening around the Colin Firth interview. Please let us know when it will be on...very disappointed that CNN has not yet notified the public.
like the above comments, I was VERY DISAPPOINTED that the interview w/Colin, Helena, Geoffrey was scrapped for "Breaking News" on Egypt! I KNOW it's important, but REALLY – there was nothing new going on – just CNN's usual 24/7 coverage of a story that will now go on for days if not weeks! GIVE US A BREAK AND PUT COLIN ON PLEASE!!
I thought CNN was supposed to be all about communication – so how about COMMUNICATING and letting us know when
Colin's interview will be broadcast?
I was so looking forward to the interview with Colin Firth. I am a long time fan and loved him in the King's Speech. I hope they will play the interview soon. Sometimes it's nice to have a break from the 24 hour hard news coverage.
I love Piers new show but I also think he needs to be careful to let guests fully answer. He has stepped on some replies that could have been fascinating if they had been allowed to continue. I'm sure he will conquer this in time.
CNN should respect its loyal viewers a little more and note when Colin Firth interview will be reschedule – I know its the news from Cairo is very serious and should be broadcast, but at least try to give us an idea when the interview will be aired next week...
Thanks!
Our entire family planned on watching this interview last night. Our special needs child was particularly disappointed that it was neither aired nor rescheduled.
Please inform your viewers when this interview will be rescheduled on CNN.
I don't know how accurate this is but I just checked the CCN Tv schedule online and the first time mentioned for a Piers Morgan Tonight replay is for the 3 AM (ET). It doesn't mention the guest so it may or may not be Colin. I am setting my DVR just to be on the safe side, I can always erase if need be. There are earlier time slots for Piers that have been replaced with the Egyptian crisis.Of course if something new develops this program could be bumped as well.
I would also like to know when is CNN going to air Colin's interview?!!!
CNN: What I want to know is when are you rescheduling the Colin Firth interview? Please advertise on TV and on your website when it will be shown. Failure to do this is "false advertising!" Linda Champion
Same as above that I don't know if it is true or not but my program guide says 9pm ET tonight. Here's hoping. Very disappointed CNN hasn't relayed when it will be on nor made it available online.
Completely understand that the breaking news from Egypt had to preempt the Colin Firth interview but I do hope you can air the interview as soon as possible. I thought the movie was GREAT and Colin definitely should win the Oscar.
Please CNN advise us, the viewing public, when the interview with Colin, Helena and Geoffrey will air. Very disappointed that all 3 episodes friday was on Egypt. Every news station will repeatedly discuss the crisis in Egypt until everyone is uninterested in the situation.
WE WANT COLIN! WE WANT COLIN!
please.

I too am waiting to see if CNN is going to post the re-schedule of Piers Morgan's interview with Colin Firth. Come on – haven't you disappointed enough of us by pre-empting the interview in favour of the Egyptian protests? Enough already. You are becoming boring with carrying it non-stop and all the pedantic comments from too, too many "experts" (?).. I have enjoyed Piers' interviews but yes – he has to stop interrupting his guests and interjecting his own opinions as he is really there to get the interviewee's thoughts and comments.
Please let us know when you will be showing the Colin Firth interview?
So disappointed that Colin's interview was postponed and had no idea that it was rescheduled to air tonight. Is there any way to purchase a copy of the program?
I am frustrated about the lack of info regarding the rescheduling of Colin Firth. Additionally, why are the upcoming shows for the week absent from CNN site? Guess they are not interested in our viewership.
Do we know when it will be aired yet? I am in uk so wanna see it when it will appear the next day at 8 pm.
CNN: Please respect your viewers and let us know when scheduled programming can be rescheduled. Ongoing silence from CNN programming speaks volumes about CNN's level of respect for its audiences, especially given all the requests on this site since Friday.
I set my DVR to record the interview and was shocked to see that they pre-empted the interview with breaking news without giving viewers information on repeating the interview with Colin Firth. There's nothing on the website or TV guide channels to show what's going on....very annoying!
Obviously the world is waiting for the Colin Firth interview. The least CNN can do is tell us if and when it will be aired. Colin Firth fans are in the millions. You must realize this by now. He's the most important actor in the world at this moment. He's briilliant and a real class act. He's perfect. They don't come like that everyday. We need a break from the riots which are on going. I don't understand the need to air the same thing over and over. I have stopped watching.
Please anybody upload the full interview to Youtube as soon as it's aired. I don't live in US. I love CF, but i prefer a tanned-looking CF. Pls get back the tan quickly !
I meant to say, WHEN will THE Colin Firth interview be rescheduled??! (I'm distracted to the point that my grammar is affected).
Please let me know when the interview with Colin Firth will be rescheduled. There should have been information given
that night so we can watch or set our DVR. Please respond with the date.
Apparently CNN has now given us the dates for the Colin Firth interview. On the website for today Jan. 31st it states that the interview will be shown THURSDAY, FEB.3.2011. Let's hope Egypt will be in better shape by then and we won't have to take a sedative to calm down..
Thanks to CNN for the updated info on Colin Firth's interview.... looking forward to Thursday night!
Colin Firth has incredible range proven yet again in his stunning performance as Bertie in the King's Speech. I cannot wait to hear your acceptance speech at the Academy Awards!!!!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!
And here it is Thursday night and it's live from Egypt again! Is the Colin Firth interview cursed? I visited Egypt just over a year ago and am deeply concerned, but dearly want to see the interview with the cast of The King's Speech. Please keep us updated on when this will FINALLY be aired!
Since they can't seem to replay the interview on the show they should have it available for free via a podcast though iTunes.
PLEASE reschedule the Colin Firth interview with Piers Morgan. I understand that the live coverage of the Egypt situation was more important as immediate, live news, but as a viewer in Macedonia (following Central Europe schedules) I was not able to see the Colin Firth interview (even the rescheduled tiime slots). Or at least allow the disappointed viewers to see the full interview via the CNN Internet site. I would think that this interview is still of timely interest due to the upcoming BAFTAs and Oscars awards and Firth's nomination for Best Actor.
I see that Piers is back to live interviews. Has anybody heard if the Colin Firth interview was ever broadcast? I live on the west coast, and have checked the 6 p.m. time slot here every night, but it never has been on. Thanks!
It is being aired tonight, 2/10. The DVR is set and I'm crossing my fingers that there's no big news coming out of Egypt today.
CNN is really rude for not announcing when Colin Firth will be aired. Are Piers Morgan's ratings so poor that CNN needs to keep folks watching, hoping CF will finally be aired. BTW, Piers Morgan had better stop interrupting guests or he will be history. Not sure what his problem is, perhaps nerves, however, think it may be plain rudeness. He needs to listen to responses, not insert himself over the top of his guests. Next we'll have Stephen Colbert imitating him which I am sure Piers would be mortified about. Give us a date, advertise it well and following through with Colin Firth.
OK – if the transition in Egypt takes a reasonable pace – will we see the cast of 'The King's Speech' (and of course, the inimitable Mr. Firth) Piers Morgan interview *this* week? CNN, pls announce on website and on-air?
