On Tuesday, "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomed back conservative columnist and author Jonah Goldberg for a live sequel to their spirited initial interview.
Originally appearing Monday April 30th, Goldberg said of the experience at the time: "You're cross-examining me. You're not interviewing."
In last nights follow up, the pair of personalities revisited their first meeting:
"Piers, here's the thing: I agreed with you, more than once," insisted Goldberg. "But you seem to want to put me into a box, turn me into a straw man that I am not, and say that somehow I was arguing."
Thinking the host was taking credit for overpowering him in their previous bout, the guest used the rematch to clarify:
"I said you tried to bully me, I didn't say you bullied me," Goldberg pointed out. "You kept interrupting me, you wouldn't let me answer questions, you asked me these sort of fake questions asked on false premises. And then you wouldn't let me answer them or clear the air. I think that's evidence for people who watched the actual video."
Also on the program, Piers Morgan invited comedian and actor Jon Lovitz for a live, face to face discussion.
Widely known as a cast member of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," the 54-year-old has been in the news of late for his outspoken criticism of Barack Obama.
Appearing on “The ABC’s of SNL” podcast with director Kevin Smith, Lovitz blasted the president for his take on taxes. On Tuesday, he followed up for Morgan.
"This whole idea of this one percent versus the 99 percent, it's a false static," said the film and commercial veteran. "He's creating a false class warfare in a country where there is no class structure. Anybody can be going from being broke, to being wealthy."
Watch the clips, and listen to the interviews, as both the author and actor discuss politics and finance on the backdrop of the current campaign, and upcoming election.

Piers,
We LOVE your show, and you!!
Your interview with Jon Lovitz was total step down for you and your producers. He is clearly not that bright and he should not be spewing what he thinks are facts based on research and experiences from his own life. Someone should remind him that the world is a lot bigger then his own backyard. Never really found him funny and now I just find him plain stupid. Please don't ever have him back.
Sorry, Fran, but he's right. The Occupiers, and indeed all Americans, have legitimate grievances against SOME rich people–big bankers, politicians, lobbyists, Bernanke, etc–but Lovitz is just presenting the perspective of someone who happens to be rich but isn't trying to scam anyone and is feeling a little vilified these days. I know, it's hard to think of people who have more than us as victims, and they are not victims of anything half as atrocious as, say, waterboarding, but they are in fact victims of Obama's rhetoric. We are, too, because we are being lied to. (Again, it's far from the worst lie Obama's fed us. I give the top spot to NDAA myself.) Obviously, Romney's no better. I think it's about time people in both parties asked themselves "How many more lies can we tolerate, and how much worse can the results get, before we stop voting for these jerks?!"
Piers is an opinionated, dull bore who should mind his own business on American politics.
Piers, you did it yet again with Jonah. I am not a Jonah "follower" as you put it, you were just plain rude! You were rude to Jon Lovitts as well. I watch you every night, some interviews are well done, but then you have some that are all about you. If you want to talk continuously, get a radio show. If you invite someone to be on you show, let them speak!
SAW YOUR INTERVIEW LAST NIGHT WITH JON LOVITZ. YOU ASKED HIM A POINTED QUESTION AND BEFORE HE COULD ANSWER YOU WE INTERUPTING HIM WITH YOUR OWN ONE SIDED OPIONIONS HOW ABOUTH LETTING THE GUY GIVE YOU AN ANSWER ISNT THAT WHAT YOU INVITED HIM TO YOUR SHOW FOR? I TOTALY AGREE WITH CAROLS POST ABOVE. YOU ARE AS BAD AS SOME OF THE GUYS AT FOX NEWS THAT ALL OF THE LIERAL MEDIA DISLIKE.
Love you Jonah. You looked hot!
Piers, I watch you every night and I enjoy your show and I think you are excellent. But with respect to the first time Mr. Goldberg was on your show, you definitely treated him differently than the majority of your other guests. You barely let the man speak and were very agressive with him. Watching your show on a daily basis, your political leanings and beliefs are obvious to figure out. For example, when you interview anyone who is against gay marriage or against higher taxes for the rich, I know you will go after him/her. Conversely, when you interview anyone who is for gay marriage or for higher taxes on the rich, you generally lob easy questions at your guest, and don't confront him/her with the arguments against these positions (as you do the guests you don't agree with). I'd like you to get some high ranking religious figure like Cardinal Timothy Dolan and ask him questions about gay marriage. I would be interested to see how you treat this type of a religious figure – it is a lot harder to beat up on a mere citizen than a respect religious figure. Anyway, your bias does not deter me from watching you.
LOVITZ was GREAT last night ... finally, an honest & straight forward thought without the bias rhetoric.
BRING HIM BACK for an hour and let him express his views fully. Finally, someone gets it... "GOOD for you LOVITZ"
I I can't believe what Mr. Goldberg said: "...gays are people..." Can he be more condescending?
Pierce, do you ever review your shows? I mean just go back, sit down and watch yourself? You have interesting guests, but if they do not have the same views as you...which I believe are liberal, you are very rude and belligerant..You don't even let people talk without interrupting them. You are definitely not an objective respectful journalist/ commentator.( rude, rude, rude)... is this a reflection of your culture or personal background? Or are you so set in your biased thinking that you can't tolerate other people's beliefs...and allow them to express themselves?
It appears that, despite announcing that he is a Catholic, Piers Morgan is a "cafeteria Catholic". He picks and chooses what church teachings he wants to follow. Unfortunately, too many Catholics live their lives like that. They proclaim their religion, and then live their lives as they want.
There are a great many people in this country (including many Democrats) who don't support gay marriage. That is their opinion and don't need to be put down by liberal such as Piers. As Piers said, with all the economic issues in this country, why would the President wade into this controversy (Piers made that remark about the people of NC)?
