The former Good Morning Britain host has been making significant waves in his media career in recent years. Earlier this year, Morgan walked away from Rupert Murdoch’s News UK to take full control of his YouTube-based show, Uncensored.
The channel, which has amassed more than 3.6 million subscribers, features headline-grabbing interviews with world leaders and public figures, including , Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Benjamin Netanyahu.
The decision to part ways with Murdoch wasn’t taken lightly, with Morgan turning down a reported £50 million deal to retain creative independence.
He previously told : “It was a very good, mutually respectful conversation with Rupert and they were very generous with their offer. But I just wasn’t prepared to take a deal.
“It may be that Uncensored ends up a debate-led channel and I launch a podcast in the not-too-distant future for long-form interviews, which is competing with someone like Joe Rogan. There are a lot of lucrative pathways for that,” he added.
