5 is to showcase a weekly 90’ highlights show - a compilation of the very best bits of YouTube channel Piers Morgan Uncensored - in what is believed to be the worlds-first collaboration between a YouTube current affairs show and a legacy broadcaster. 

Piers Morgan Uncensored has played out on YouTube since April 2022, having previously aired on TalkTV also. A bold, opinion-led news and debate show hosted by Piers Morgan, the series is distributed globally via YouTube and podcast platforms.

Featuring high-profile interviews, it blends journalism, debates and cultural commentary in a format that’s unapologetically direct. The show positions itself as a fearless platform for free speech, tackling controversial topics, challenging public figures, and hosting fiery debates which often make headlines.

5 will air a weekly round-up of the best interviews and debates on Uncensored - especially tailored for the 5 audience.  Commissioned by Federico Ruiz, Commissioning Editor 5 and Paramount +, Piers Morgan Uncensored is a  Wake Up Production, Executive Editor Alex Campbell.

Piers Morgan said: “Piers Morgan Uncensored has become one of the world’s fastest growing and most popular YouTube news channels, racking up over a billion views in just three years. I’m really excited our show will be crashing onto British TV screens in a game-changing partnership with 5, bringing viewers the most explosive debates,  jaw-dropping interviews, and headline-grabbing moments every single week.” 

Federico Ruiz said: “Being thrilled to have Piers Morgan on 5 doesn’t scratch the surface. Uncensored will be an excellent fit: our viewers love straight talk, big opinions, and unapologetic personalities—and Piers delivers all three and then some. A linear, terrestrial broadcaster partnering with a current affairs YouTube channel is the sort of exciting cross-cultural handshake that marks where the industry is heading. The fuse is lit. We’re braced for impact … Piers is coming to 5.”
