Piers Morgan is officially no longer an employee of CNN according an announcement he made on Twitter yesterday.
BREAKING NEWS: I am no longer a @CNN employee.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 2, 2014
While Piers Morgan’s show was canceled earlier this year (possibly due to his repeated anti-gun rants), he remained an employee of CNN and was in talks for a new contract in which Morgan would serve as CNN’s host for major interview shows.
However, it looks like that deal isn’t happening
I was offered a new 2-year deal by @CNN boss Jeff Zucker to host 40 big interview 'specials'.

But after considerable thought, I decided not to accept it – and to try pastures new.

Of course, he had to take a couple of parting shots at the NRA and gun owners in the process.
I wouldn't crack the champagne open too quickly though, @NRA – I haven't finished with you lot yet.

Will anyone miss Morgan? Personally, I didn’t even realize he was still a CNN employee.
