Death is too good for Morgan. He should to be tortured slowly for eternity, preferably in obscurity with no news coverage whatsoever. (That would be the worst part of the torture as far as that publicity whore is concerned.)

I'd only add that there are perhaps more salient points to be made about the current state of Dubai than its initial development given the relative comparisons to the UK, which hardly has a great history in that regard

Piers Morgan is the type of man that will argue against everything he stands for just to prove a point he's making in that moment. Leaves him w no leg to stand on when he's actually rarely right
I've always hated Piers Morgan. But I only really learned how to truly loathe and despise him after seeing him at the Leveson Inquiry. Anyone in mood for watching a good old squirm, get over there.
This just reaffirms my love for Ed Byrne, Agh ♥
Not only is what Ed is saying true, but most of the talented ones are professionals who are invited to appear and fast-tracked through the beginning stages
The recycling question...spot on!
Haha, Piers actually said 'If I may get a word in'. If only he knew what he would become and the fact that on GMB he wouldn't let anyone 'get a word in'.
Morgan sounds like a politician here with his evasive answers. Ed Byrne really had him wriggling. This is why I love Ed.
saw ed byrne last night :D i love him even more after watching this
"That's not what I asked you dude, not what I ask you" - classic
Piers, let’s talk about you outstanding performance during the leverson’s enquiry and how truthful you were ????
"Dubai has a lot of faults..." My brain immediately went to, "oh no! Earthquakes!"
Ed you are brilliant! So quick with the comeback. Your comedy is brilliant Love both of your DVDs. Had to watch Different Class like 3 times just so i could hear all the jokes. (Was laughing over them, not ignoring them)
Before I simply saw Ed Byrne as a decent, funny comedian. After watching this, he is officially a God!
It didn't realise that the green issue was about grass untill Morgan pointed out that it was mainly sand in Dubai. What a complete country he is.
Piers never denies that the worst people are encouraged and told they're great. He goes "How do you know what goes on? I know what goes on, you don't." No denial at all.

Also Piers basically signals what Ed said about untalented people getting through is correct, he doesn't call the people "untalented" just "obviously entertaining"
Love Ed Byrne, he's awesome
I like how he doesn't answer the question about repeat auditions even though he's asked several times
Amen to that. Please go & live there Piers. Btw Dubai has immigrant workers from India, who’s passports have been taken away. They are promised riches but end up living in squalid conditions for next to nothing.
Hats off to Ed here, he really didn’t give him any Leigh way in his questioning
haha, love it when he says about Piers going back 10 years to what he used to do- BOOM.
Ed Byrne is a brilliant comedian (he's also an Irishman which helps things along quite nicely). Piers Morgan is possibly the most horrible excuse of a human being in the world

"The producers choose people who are the most obviously talented or the most obviously entertaining" So in other words they do put people on stage who are obviously talentless for us to laugh at. So in other words Ed Byrne was correct. thank you Piers Morgan.
You know since Radio 5 move to Manchester this type of conversation ended. Now Radio 5 in the daytime is a shadow of what it was.
2:39 absolutely bodied
It's another Great morning Britain!
Britain has changed a hell of a lot since then. Even over 50 years it has made great strides forward.
06:34 !?! Where did John Cleese pop up from....???🤔🤔😂😂😂
I knew before I even heard the interview Ed Byrne was going to win
It says more than 100 what do i do to get above that ????
Debating at its finest, I have attempted to explain things to people as belligerent as Piers before and become very angry so congratulations to Ed Byrne on remaining calm and clearly winning the debate.
I thought exactly the same.
My dad is older than Dubai. It can't have a culture being so young, it began as something mad, builting a city in the middle of no where and is simply continuing that process.
Piers Morgan talks of hypocracy to Ed Byrne here. One of the main reasons Piers Morgan has such a high market value for TV is due to the fact that he was a judge on Britains Got Talent. A man who has never performed on stage the same way. He also talks of how Actors etc shouldnt have an opinion on Politics. Shouldnt it be the same in that case that Journalists and 'Tv personalities' shouldnt be able to judge talent?
Piers Morgan will pass on to the next world trying to have the last word. Everyone left behind will talk about how much they despised him for ten minutes and then nobody will remember he existed and nobody will ever talk about him again.
ed Byrne... you legend!!
ohhhhh ed's just unbelievably gorgeous....i cant stop looking at him!!!!!
Note: piers goes from knowing all about it, to not knowing it all to confirming what Ed said at the start.
I like Ed, and I agree with what he saying here however he really missed a trick attacking Piers Morgan over Britain’s got talent, there is so much more you could’ve got dirt on him for. An oversight on his part in the argument here he otherwise had Morgan wrestled to the ground.
Some producer must have lied to Piers Morgan at some point and told him that he's talented
Well said Ed Byrne!
Knowing two performers who are in the music industry I can tell you now Ed is telling the truth regarding pop idol and X factor... They even got offers of multi show deals on the likes of Trisha and Jeremy Kyle for musician based topics...
Steve Coogan said Piers Morgan talked about hacking people's phones. This man has no platform to moralise to anybody about anything!
Wait he genuinely thinks that global warming wont be as bad in a desert?

As Stephen Fry once commented: The definition of 'countryside' is... 'To kill Piers Morgan'.
say what you like about piers, but all he does is give his opinion... and a lot of people don't like it but that doesn't bother him at all. he's outspoken and i enjoy hearing him share his views, whether i agree with him or not
Ed Byrne + Ian Hislop + Jeremy Clarkson vs Piers Morgan...now that I'd like to see

Ed Byrne speaks the truth ...Piers Morgan on the other hand makes me ashamed. I spoke to a guy set up by set up by a Cowell show they came to him and told him he was great, when the show was edited it made him and is mates look like idiots. I felt for the guy everyone had the video on their phones it was really cruel. This was 10 years ago and nasty people still show it to everyone the guy meets. I feel Piers Morgan is a man with little honour he knows exactly what those shows did then.
Ironic? Piers Morgan has anything to do with Britains got talent.
OMG how dare he argue with Ed
nice
I like how Piers Morgan basically confirms that Ed Byrne is right but in a begrudging way so as to not concede defeat.
Go on Ed!!!!!!
Funny for Morgan to deny what goes on behind the scenes of talent shows when clearly, that girl who sang Pink was told by producers to sing it when that wasn't what she wanted to do. They made her out to be trying to hard to be something she's not, and then showed her storming off in way which made her out to be the villain. I don't know what idea the judges have but the producers definitely know.
Nice one Ed.

@lemonationable Hmm. Not sure about that. Morgan nails him when he talks about Byrne mocking people.
Piers Morgan has gone down in my estimations, especially since it’s come to light that he tapped in to Paul McCartney’s phone whilst he was getting a tough time with heather mills !
Piers Morgan is incorrect (shocker!!!). I worked at a hotel where the X Factor/Pop Idol/Whatever held one of the first auditions, and Ed has it completely right. I saw it with my own eyes.
"Very worth of you" If you hated him before, you'll hate him once you hear that.
Well done Ed
