The former British tabloid editor -- who irked conservative Americans after launching somewhat of a crusade for greater gun control measures -- struggled after stepping into the shoes of popular, down-to-earth host Larry King in the coveted 9:00 pm primetime slot. In particular, he made repeated references to cricket, a sport with little US presence, and professed his ignorance about American football and preference for the round football, soccer. &quot;CNN confirms that 'Piers Morgan Live' is ending,&quot; CNN vice president of communications Barbara Levin told AFP.</p><br clear="all"/>
