Piers Morgan's grip on TalkTV seems to have strengthened with the appointment of an old Daily Mirror chum to the fledgling station.
Richard Wallace became editor of the Mirror after Piers Morgan was dismissed, following publication of fake pictures of British soldiers mistreating Iraqi prisoners. He lasted for eight years, before losing out when the Daily and Sunday teams were merged. His partner, Sunday Mirror editor Tina Weaver (head of features under Piers Morgan) also departed, with the overall editor's job going to Lloyd Embley. Both Wallace and Weaver were interviewed by police working on Operation Weeting.
Within months of his departure from the Mirror Group, Richard resurfaced with Simon Cowell's Syco production company and soon moved up to executive producer on America's Got Talent. In 2020 he was announced as executive producer of 50 States to Stardom, competing with the America Song Contest.
