(Reuters) — Piers Morgan, one of the biggest names in British media and a CNN television host, has been questioned by London police in connection with allegations of phone-hacking at the Daily Mirror tabloid he used to edit.

Morgan, a former judge on "America's Got Talent" show who replaced Larry King on CNN in 2011, said in a statement on Thursday he had been interviewed by officers after voluntarily attending a police station in December.

The 48-year-old, who has always denied any involvement in phone hacking, was quizzed as part of wider investigations into illegal practices by journalists at Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World newspaper.

Throw him in the slammer so he can live with his viewer demographics.

At minimum, deportation.

He is pro-Obama. So he’ll be here as long as Obama is president.

Can they extradite this worthless twit back to the UK and deal with him?

Hasn't this Administration punished Britain enough?

[South40]

Just want to send him back to his native land.

You said native. That was racist.
