Coming up this evening at 9, "Piers Morgan Live" welcomes Bob Costas for an engaging, passionate, and entertaining hour of primetime television.
Surrounded on all sides by a full studio audience, the 60-year-old sports broadcasting legend watches with a grin as Piers Morgan plays an old video clip in which the guest interviews professional wrestling personality Vince McMahon.
"Well, here was the deal. It was completely live on HBO, no commercials," explains Costas, describing the intense exchange that took place as part of his "On the Record" program. "I think the segment was scheduled for 15 minutes, but because it got so tense, they just let it keep going, 27, 28 minutes. And much of it was unrelenting tension, just like that."
During the segment, McMahon, the chairman and CEO of the WWE (then known as the WWF,) became visibly irritated with the line of questioning as presented by Costas. As such, he responded by trying to impose him significant physical presence: FULL POST
Coming up this evening at 9, Piers Morgan invites Bob Costas to join him in studio for a wide-ranging, primetime interview that is equal parts wildly entertaining, and completely candid.
As part of an hour-long conversation conducted in front of a live audience, the man who's hosted a record nine Olympic games shares his stance on gun control and firearm legislation, offering a response to those that suggest assault weapons with high-capacity magazines are necessary as a means of self-defense:
"They always present this theoretical - 'well, what if there's not one or two invaders to my home, what if there's 10 or 12 and after I've killed the first eight or nine, I need to reload?'," quotes Costas. "Yes, let me know when that happens. And between now and when that happens, sadly, there's going to be another Aurora, there's going to be another Newtown."
Speaking from the heart, with his trademark brand of eloquence and perspective, the eight-time National Sportscaster of the Year award-winner elaborates further on his objection to the notion that increased legislation equals an infringement on one's Second Amendment rights: FULL POST
On the heels of his recently released 13th studio album, on Friday evening hip-hop legend LL Cool J joined Piers Morgan in studio with his trademark brand of candor and personality.
The new record, entitled "Authentic," is the 13th by the artist born James Todd Smith, and appearing as part of a worldwide exclusive interview, he offered some insight into his heavily criticized duet with country music star Brad Paisley:
"What I was trying to achieve is," began LL Cool J, discussing the song entitled "Accidental Racist."
"Don't judge a book by its cover," co-guest Eddie Van Halen, jumped in, finishing LL Cool J's thought.
"Exactly," agreed LL Cool J. "It was really that simple. Don't judge a book by its cover and also, we have to get passed the past, get passed what happened in the past if we're gonna really have a future together."
Meanwhile, as part of Friday's program, the 45-year-old entertainer also offered some context into a frightening experience with an intruder earlier this year: FULL POST
On the heels of their iconic collaboration on the brand new album "Authentic," this evening at 9 "Piers Morgan Live" invites music legends LL Cool J and Eddie Van Halen to join him for a face to face, world exclusive interview.
For the 45-year-old hip-hop star, "Authentic" represents a 13th studio album. However, with the songs “We’re the Greatest” and “Not Leaving You Tonight,” the record also represented an opportunity to combine forces with one of the world's greatest guitarists:
"I reached out to Eddie," says LL Cool J. "I had an idea about doing a song that has some rock guitar on it and I feel like Eddie's the best in the world."
As for the artist who helped popularize such epic hits as "Jump," "Hot for Teacher," and "Right Now," Van Halen says the idea of working with LL Cool J was "a left of center thing" that hooked him in once he got a feel for the project: FULL POST

Coming up this evening at nine, Piers Morgan invites Paul Anka to join him in studio for an endearing and insightful primetime, face to face interview.
A celebrated singer, songwriter, and actor, Anka penned the infamous Frank Sinatra song "My Way," an achievement he explains in fascinating detail as part of this evenings "Piers Morgan Live":
"I came back to New York where I was living at the time. I was sitting up in my apartment, one o’clock in the morning, and I still cannot get my arms around the fact that Sinatra is leaving. And I started typing," Anka tells the host. "I said, 'What would Frank do with this if he were writing it.' And metaphorically, I started creating this song as if Frank were writing it, 'And now the end is near. The final curtain.' Wrote it 'till five o’clock in the morning and at the end of it, I knew that I had something that I wouldn’t be afraid to give him."
Often intimidated by the legendary Sinatra, Anka also describes the very first moment he heard his words come to life, and the emotion that came with the experience: FULL POST

"I'm a musician. I play concerts. I've been very fortunate. I've always tried to keep prices what I think are fair," he reveals. "I've always said I'm proud that I could walk around with my head held high and look someone in the eye, knowing that I haven't taken an un-honest dollar from a working man."
Coinciding with the release of Rock's 10th album – "Rebel Soul" – the "$20 Best Night Ever" concert series comes in sharp contrast to some of the events being produced by his contemporaries:

"I'm having fun," said the host of the upcoming "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown," when asked why he often puts himself in danger traveling worldwide. "This is a great adventure for me and maybe it's a little foolhardy at times, but I'm working with some really talented people. I like to make things and tell stories and in a place like the Congo, as difficult as it is and dangerous at times, I know I'm doing the best work of my life and I'm making something that I can be really proud of."
Fielding questions from a live studio audience, the globally recognized chef, and multiple New York Times bestselling author was asked to compare the culinary exploits of America with those from around the world:
