On Friday afternoon Morgan posted Tweets thanking some of those involved in the show, which ran for little more than three years on the cable news channel. The 48-year-old also promised an "important" finale at the end.

Plenty of Americans don't like him, plenty of Brits don't like him. What better way to get revenge than to screw up international relations between the two countries for ever and sparking the kind of End of Days scenario that all those gun nuts have spent the last few years telling him they need their guns for.
