Morgan's "America's Got Talent" contract with NBC was the last obstacle standing in the way between him and a deal to replace Larry King at CNN. Wednesday, Morgan told Jay Leno that he had a new deal with NBC, but he was coy about whether or not that meant he was going to CNN. Asked whether the new "Talent" contract meant NBC would be sharing Morgan with CNN, Gaspin had a one word reply: "Yes." Gaspin later spoket to TheWrap to clarify his comments saying, "we have relaxed his exclusivity and allowed him to talk to CNN." Gaspin said he could not speak to any deal between CNN and Morgan. "He remains in first position with us," added Gaspin. Previously, sources at CNN told TheWrap that an agreement to have Morgan replace King would be a done deal once he was freed from his obligations to NBC. CNN would not comment on any deal to have Morgan do double duty at both networks. "Declining to comment until we have something to announce," network spokesperson Barbara Levin told TheWrap via e-mail. Morgan's agent, John Ferriter, also declined to comment on this story. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
