Morgan, who serves as host of CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, recently announced his departure as judge on NBC's America's Got Talent.

He also is embroiled in the News Corp. phone-hacking scandal. On Thursday, Lord Justice Leveson said Morgan will be called to “explain himself” over comments he made relating to phone hacking in 2007.

The judge said his inquiry into press culture, standards and ethics would hear from Morgan -- a former editor of the News of the World and the Mirror -- “in due course” to explain comments apparently admitting detailed knowledge of phone hacking that he made in a 2007 interview.

Morgan has always strenuously denied wrongdoing relating to phone hacking.
