ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- At the age of seventeen he had a master plan for becoming the best known journalist in Britain. He’s been in the midst of media scandals, he’s interviewed some of the most famous celebrities and most powerful politicians in the world, and he’s judged the talents of hundreds of common folks. Arrogant, ambitious, and shameless…. so who is this media man? None other than Piers Morgan, of course…

Piers Morgan is an Internet troll who happens to have a show on ITV.
@Oliver Higgins I am completely against this stupid wokeism culture and i agree with him on that. He still is an asshole though. Just because i agree with Donald Trump on quite a few issues, i still can’t stand hin
Talk about an attentation-seeker, though I'll admit that having the drive to actively pursue a dream by 14 and keep at it to this very day, is quite admirable. As always, thanks for providing the face to the show, Simon, and thanks to everyone else who makes this channel possible.
NullLex00
I was thinking basically the same thing. If you're not hurting anyone I think it's better to have an ego and successful then having self-doubt and not liking yourself.
He's admirable like the flu, no matter what they both keep ruining people's lives.
Yeah but that could be a result of him being an amoral creature even at that early age, he is a spot on candidate for the psychopath in business.
@@swiley223 some people admire the successful asshole type lol dunno why.
Never really paid him much attention until about two years ago when I moved and he became my neighbor.. Really wanted to like him.. I don't.
Did you move again?
The news of the world phone hacking was criminal. He and many should have gone to jail.
@Jeremy Brookes that a good question i want to know
As was the insider trading he (allegedly) engaged in.
Yeah tell Millie Dowlers parents what a good journalist he’s been over the years
@@M1cko33 Isnt the first time something like thats happened albeit in a completely different industry, Oracle the database systems company (the DVLA use them as well as a few others which have direct Oracle licences, there's about 6-10 of them in the country, others use a company which uses theirs like Netsuite do) were found to have raided the bins of Microsoft
Love him or hate him, I personally have an unpopular respect for the guy. He doesn’t give a damn what other people think of him and thus has no filter, which makes him at least honest. He has drive and ambition and will be wildly more successful than me or you reading this may ever be. However do not presume I like him as a person (non e of us actually know him)
Still patiently awaiting a famous Greek philosopher or Roman general :-) Loving it as always Simon, appreciate the work.
We will get one eventually. We have some picked out. -Shell
Who are you most interested in seeing? Socrates/Plato/Aristotle
Personally I'd choose Socrates first :-)
*cough* It's my birthday the 17th of December if you want to get it out for then *cough* :-)
+Biographics All three in an hour long episode with Simon. :p
That would be an awesome treat :-) I could listen to Simon for a week let alone an hour!
I've always despised him, now I feel justified.
Yeah, disgusting guy
😄👍
You're good at being judgemental and closed minded
@Oliver Higgins why would you admire him after hearing about all the villa things he’s done and continues to do? There’s nothing about him that’s admirable, in fact he should be in jail, I have no idea why he still has a career
He’s just a conservative sjw he makes his own side look silly lol
To call his career one of "journalism" is being far too generous. Piers Morgan is a propagandist/publicity hound. Journalism implies at least trying to tell the truth.
:/ ... I miss 2018.... that last statement in your comment was at least somewhat true back then... kind of...
that last line hits hard now…
No matter how hard I try and how many times I hear Simon say it, I cannot figure out how to say the word "controversy" like he does. Love this dude's videos. Brilliant.
You should do one of these bios on the super controversial Alex Jones 😆
Do one on Jeremy Clarkson
Ooo! Good call!
I’d love to see this! Love this series.
He’s a racist old Gammon who should be left out to stud. Done.
The rich rarely go to jail for long or at all
Good video, just don't say "Ben Shapiro" in front of Piers.
@@adamrutherford8523 Because Ben Shapiro DESTROYED Piers with FACTS and LOGIC
okay no but really though, Shapiro completely dismantled Piers about the gun argument. It was embarrassing. Ben ACTUALLY used facts and logic, whereas Piers argument amounted to something like, "but, the Sandy Hook victims!"
@@MrMosanu because Piers' argument was purely an appeal to emotion. And guns are used in as few as half a million cases of self-defense each year, compared to the 30,000 deaths each year related to them.
@@MrMosanu your argument from personal incredulity is invalid. Some sources say the number is as high as 3 million.
Except they actually get along quite well. Shapiro interviewed him late last year, and they had a fascinating and civil talk even about guns.
Piers and Ben are actually great friends now.
If only his master plan was to be a good journalist...
Simon should do an episode of "Biographics" on J.K. Rowling. I personally have a lot of respect for Jo because of her philanthropy work with charities and organizations that are close to her heart. Rowling works with and donates money to organizations for single parents and also donates money for research on Multiple Sclerosis. This is because she was at one point a single mother struggling to survive on public assistance along with suffering from Depression as well as occasionally thinking of committing suicide. Her work with organizations that research Multiple Sclerosis is because she lost her mother Anne Rowling to MS in December of 1990. Jo has said that to this day her biggest regret is that she was not at her mother's side on the day her mother died.
Don’t research her lgbtq stuff trust me keep your life innocent
@@devinixm8235 I am fully aware of this; but I don't respect Jo any less because she is expressing her opinion and while I don't agree with her opinion I still respect her for philanthropic work with Multiple Sclerosis organizations and her foundation Lumos. Lumos aims to help and protect disadvantaged children in Eastern Europe; with the motto being "Protecting children, providing solutions."
@@michaellovely6601 ye lumos was a good thing
@@devinixm8235 Sorry for the late reply; but I agree with you on Lumos being a good thing. When this whole brouhaha involving J.K. Rowling erupted in 2020; "Harry Potter" actor Rupert Grint came across as though he sided with Jo, stating that she was "like an auntie to him." Personally I hope to someday get my hands on a copy of Tom Felton's memoir "Beyond the Wand." Tom Felton is an extremely sweet and kind man who got pizzas for the fans who were camping out in London's Trafalgar Square for the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two."
How can anyone find this man charming? Especially his wife(s)?
I can't help but feel that Piers Morgan hasn't suffered enough.
🤣🤣
Keep up the good work Simon!
You should do one on Ben Shapiro
That would be interesting. Ben Shapiro is extremely arrogant and enjoys rubbing his wife's profession as a doctor in the faces of many. I was a little bit concerned about the rather homoerotic description of Brett Hawthorne; the main protagonist of his first fiction book titled "True Allegiance."
In the top ten of people I would love to see fall in a blender.
"Will it blend? Let's see!"
Noah Vale You’re just jealous because Donald Trump is a success and you’re a failure
@@michaelrochester48 not according to his taxes
Did you read "Tintin in America"?
I'm surprised he didn't go to prison for hacking the royal phones
Great video, but Rupert Murdoch never owned the Mirror newspaper, it was owned by Robert Maxwell.
Yeah, Murdoch has never owned it, as far as I know
It looks as if Piers Morgan is the evil twin of Stephen Fry. Similar in stature, brilliance and even some facial features, Morgan achieves to be a total ass in whatever he does and seems to actively prevent mankind to evolve to a better place, whereas Fry always tries to do the right and good thing and seems to be a kind and loving person. Wonder if Stephen did some Jekyll/Hyde experiments when he was about 8.
Oh I wonder if he will do Stephen Fry! I hope so!
Morgan isn’t fit to lace Stephen Fry’s boots.
@@deltanovember1672 I know, seriously! I couldn't agree more.
Fry is amazing, comparing him to Piers is criminal
@@thetideishighandsoami3928 Yes, I confess.
You forgot the fact, HE IS A TOOL!
After watching this video, I'm glad Clarkson socked this waste of oxygen.
Also, that beat at 11:00 is 🔥🔥🔥!
Morgan is one of those people that craves attention. It doesn't matter if its good or bad as long as he gets it.
I just love this channel

I think I get more from this channel than Today l found out, tho both informative.
He’s the best journalist hands down his delivery and presence is impeccable
Bwahahaha
I love this channel these videos are really interesting. Keep up the good work.
Let’s never forget that this man lost a debate with Ben Shapiro, which is kinda like losing an arm-wrestling match to someone with a broken arm
Great episode. I hope to see more episodes about figures that have been less covered. This channel is trending upwards in my opinion.
Please do Jeremy Clarkson and Mike Tyson someday
The schoolkids got it right, he should have stuck to Piers Puke as his professional name.
I love how British folks say "controversy"!!
Another interesting bio, well done Simon & crew- please keep up the good work. Loving the new channel! Cheers, or whatever you brits usually say!
A bio about Christoper ‘Hitch’ Hitchens please .first time I’ve seen your channel mate.subscribing now 👍
You should've covered Twitter trolls too
I think Morgan relies on notoriety more than anything else. His recent storming off his TV program is sure to create 'buzz' for his new media job from his perspective.
He also played the pigeon lady in home alone 2.
All of your channels are brilliant!
This was my first biography from your site, and I found it interesting. My one complaint, however is the "Whoosh" sound effect used throughout the presentation. I found it to
be distracting and annoying very quickly. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't think you need it.
🤬 I never noticed it until I read your comment. Now I can’t “unhear” it. 🤣
How timely to have this show up today.
Great biography! :-) really enjoyed it- thanks
My favourite Morgan moment ... When Brett Lee bowled a fast ball at him and broke his ribs.
"..Morgan, having never really knew his birth farmer" 0:57
Nice one, Simon
What's a birth farmer?
Do they farm babies?
5:42 The Mirror was never owned by Rupert Murdoch,
The first time I had ever herd about this guy was when Clarkson punched him in the face. I came to understand why Jeremy would do such a thing in the subsequent years.
I just Love Piers Morgan!!!
Is there something wrong with me??!😂😂
Literally never heard of this man until yesterday when he got owned by a guest on his stance on meghan markle. Yet somehow simon got a video on him already for 3 years already. Bravo sir
It made me smile to know that Alex Beresford finally put Mr. Pissy in his place. It would be interesting if Alex got a daytime talk show called either "The Alex Beresford Show" or "Alex in the Afternoon."
The Mirror wasn't owned by Rupert Murdoch. It was owned by Trinity Mirror and was a left-leaning rival to Murdoch owned 'The Sun'. That's quite a big error. The News of the World, The Sun, The Mirror (and the Mail and Express among others) were all awful. But not as awful as Piers.
Ben Shapiro: You're standing on the graves of children to push a political agenda.
Piers Morgan: HoW dArE yOu???
Wow 1 minute and I'm here :D
I'm glad you were so excited about hearing the Piers Morgan story ME TOO.
Hello Simon I am a massive fan of Biographics and I look forward to every single video you do, including the other channels.
In light of recent news reports can you do a video about Dame Barbara Windsor? She is a massive star in the eyes of the British public and a video could help inspire someone with her current illness or someone looking after someone with her condition.
Hoping that you are well!
Daryl :)
Rupert Murdoch never owned the Daily Mirror. You need to correct this.
All I know was that he was utterly destroyed by Ben Shapiro. "How dare you!" Never gets old lmao
Piers Morgan is the best journalist of today. Always had respect for the way he asks the questions all the other people in his field wouldn't go near.
It's always the ones who have no issue exposing the lives of others that desire their own privacy to be kept.
Americans are happy to have a lot of wonderful Brits living here. We'll give them all back if you'll take back Piers Morgan.
Say what you will about him, but one thing is certain...he’s a maverick.
Please do a biiography on the legacy of Patrice Lumumba, Kenneth Kaunda, Seretse Khama or Charles Taylor.
Do Jeremy Clarkson!!!
Murdoch never owned the MIRROR
good show Simon Wistler and team
Here’s a helpful suggestion: try differentiating the music during the title sequences. It’s like the same song playing throughout “early life” and “conclusion”, etc. great channel tho. It’s cool seeing biographical videos in the style of “Today I Found Out,” which is like your Magnum Opus channel
@Biograhics What is that catchy music?
I honestly didn’t know who this was. I like how you tell a wide variety of people and even animals
Well Piers identifies of a Penguin now
Please do a biography on John Calvin of Geneva
Great biographies! Piers... I kind of knew was a jerk from America's Got Talent but wow!
17 years of marriage. They were married in 1991 not 1981. If they had been married for 27 years in 2008 and he was born in 1965 that would mean that they were married at 16. That is just incorrect information.
My Goodness! Piers Pugh Morgan came before so many important people? What in the hell?! These Bio's have just taken a notch down.
"and even two of the kardashian sisters". You made me vomit with that line.
No mention of Milly Dowler?
Does anyone know what song is playing at 10:57.
I like to identify as a BP oil pump although sometimes I'm a Texaco oil pump.
I know that this is unrelated to the video but my goodness I adore your speech patterns. 'Morgan, he knew...."
It's hard to put my finger on why, but the cadence of your speech is incredibly appealing to me.
Alex Andrews honestly, I love this channel, but those same patterns have been making me crazy! Hahaha, I'm guessing it is the writer since Simon doesn't seem to talk that way on his other channel. To each their own though, I'm glad someone likes it
I agree with you Alex! It makes him sound like a child reading a story. It really does pee me off!
I don't love Piers Morgan but I respect him
How about a video on Kim Peek?
Have you done a Biographics yet on Heneral Luna?
Papa Doc would be an amazing one to do. LOTS to talk about with him.
Now you can do a Jeremy Clarkson one
And now we need a video of his arch nemesis, Clarkson
A common joke for Arsenal fans is they would rather save bin Laden than Piers Morgan.
He's not a journalist. That's an insult to journalists
What I learned from his incident with the transgender person is, not so much that his opinions were smart or dumb, but that being too vocal about one’s opinions can be the thing that gets you in trouble.
Only Simon could somehow use the word "dignity" in a piece about Piers Morgan. 🤣🤣🤣
Though I don’t like him, he has completely played the public, he knows how the game works and plays it perfectly. He’s a brilliant journalist just not a good one because he’s not inherently evil just an opportunist.
maybe you can also make a video about peter r de vries also an interesting reporter
Since someone already brought him up, Biographics should do a video on Ben Shapiro!!!
Gossip about someone who gossips about other people. You are better than this.
People have limited time. That is why there is the concept of "important" news as oppose to gossip. While the socially disinherited flock to gossip because their perspective is that nothing really matters anyway, what I hope is the majority of people want to get news and interesting information in a condensed and unbiased form. They don't want to spend their entire leisure time reading news. Instead they hope they can make somewhat educated decisions based upon strategically picked inputs.
Also, you glossed over probably the most important and defining moment of his life -- the death of his father. How old was he at the time? How much did that define his inner emptiness that drives him to be "the top journalist in Britain"? How much did that corrupt his moral judgements into believing that being seen was the most important aspect of life? Did that create his need to exploit the hardships of others?
Savage through and through
"Piers Morgan"? Never heard of him, but I'm in Hawaii. (Brit newspapers/magazines are hard to find here.)
The thing I love the most about him is watching Ben Shapiro smack him down.
Sean L they are both idiots
@@ieatgremlins you're a woman, what do you know?
In response to your request, I'd love to see a review of Imelda Marcos' life. Thanks since advance; Patricia from N.H. 👵🏻 😷 😊
of all the people on your list this is the first one i want you to take down. this guy deserves to be forgotten not remembered in any way.
Aron being forgotten allows sone semblance of getting away unscathed. Keeping people like this on record holds them to account and means their awful behaviour is never forgotten
@@confuzedpenguin9974 fair point
Do Jeremy clarkson next! The man with the best job in the world!!!
Simon, first of your “Biographics” I’ve seen. I can say, with firm conviction, it absolutely meets, in fact, EXCEEDS all expectations I have from “Today I Learned” and “TopTenz”! I am conflicted on your backdrop. It give a slightly scholarly look adds some weight to what you say, but anyone familiar with your work already knows you to be a straightforward speaker of the Truth. If you are going to stay with it. Might I suggest some books, possibly a bookshelf, maybe 3 empty white, 3-4”, binders. Each with an insert into their spine a piece of paper labeling them Unity hard copy Wikipedia or each one with, “The Collected Truths Of....”, with subjects ranging from the Illuminati, Free Masons, Area 51, DARPA 1958-, you know, not quite inflammatory, but for those mentioned, unsettling. Perhaps posters with famous people and quotes they have made. Mister Rogers, “Love begins with Listening”, Albert Einstein, “Try not to be a man of success, rather try to become a man of value.” Or “The true sign of intelligence is NOT knowledge bot imagination.” Or, and the one goes out to 45, “Whoever is careless with the Truth in small matters CANNOT be trusted with important matters.” Or “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceed our humanity.” Last Al, “Great Spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” Do you have a P.O. Box?!!? Oliver Cromwell, “He who stops being better stops being good.”
What the hell is going on with the intermission music?
Do Jeremy Clarkson 😂
That elephant thing is the best! I don't approve of his pestering of things like the royal family but some of his views are bang-on par with mine
