Piers Morgan Describes Brush-Off by Bill O’Reilly: ‘What A D-ck’

Piers Morgan Tells Howard Stern What Makes Bill O’Reilly a ‘Dick’ (Mediaite)

Appearing on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show Wednesday to promote his new book, Shooting Straight: Guns, Gays, God, and George Clooney, Piers Morgan told a revealing story about the first time he came face to face with Fox News rival Bill O’Reilly after joining CNN’s primetime lineup.

It all happened at a Knicks game that the two men attended a couple of years back. Morgan spotted O’Reilly in the crowd and decided to take a wild shot and ask the Fox host to appear as a guest on his new CNN show. Morgan described how O’Reilly barely registered his presence as he attempted to introduce himself, refusing to engage in conversation even about Rupert Murdoch, who they once shared as a boss. Morgan’s reaction after O’Reilly “rudely” blew off his invitation? “What a dick.”
