London,
(ANI):
America's
Got
Talent
judge
Piers
Morgan
has
dismissed
rumors
that
he
will
replace
Simon
Cowell
on
American
Idol.
The
TV
personality
clarified
that
it
will
never
happen.
"A
report
in
the
New
York
Post
has
me
down
at
2-1
favorite
to
replace
Simon
Cowell
if
he
leaves
American
Idol," the
Daily
Express
quoted
him
as
saying.
He
added:
“It's
never
going
to
actually
happen,
obviously,
as
following
The
Master
on
that
show
would
be
like
following
Sinatra
at
the
Sands
(Las
Vegas
resort)."
However,
Morgan
joked
Cowell
will
be
unimpressed
to
hear
him
named
as
a
possible
successor.
He
added:
" The
mere
fact
that
anyone
is
even
suggesting
it
will
make
him
fall
off
his
Barbados
sunbed."
