Coming up tonight at 9:00 PM, Piers Morgan sits down with Lanny Davis, legal adviser to the President of Penn State, for a frank interview about politics and Penn State.

The most poignant aspects of the discussion came when the host delved into the trial of Jerry Sandusky. When asked about the impact of the trial, Davis protected the institution—citing its unique ability to mix strong athletics and academic excellence:

“If Mr. Sandusky is convicted, he does not reflect Penn State, as I’ve come to know and love,” Davis says. “He is an aberration.”

Piers asked the lawyer and political commentator how the university should move on from the Sandusky scandal, regardless of the verdict. Davis says they need "to talk about the great things at Penn State" and to “not let themselves be defined by this awful tragedy."

Tune in to "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9pm EST for more from Davis on the Sandusky trial, negative campaigns and much more.

Thursday, Piers Morgan rolls out the red carpet, welcoming actor and producer Mark Wahlberg for a candid and honest primetime interview.

The star of such well-known films as "Boogie Nights" and "The Fighter," the Boston native dropped out of school at the age of 13, a choice he's admitted to regretting. Now, nearly three decades since that decision, the father of four has recommitted himself to hitting the books:

"The principal of my old school contacted me, from Copley High, and she said 'Hey, you know, we have this new program, and you can do it, on-line.' And I said, 'I'm in,'" Wahlberg reveals. "She said, 'Are you okay with talking about it?' I said 'Sure, we try to encourage as many people as possible to go back and get their education.'"

While filming his movies, Wahlberg will log in and learn between takes, and a tutor will help him navigate a full course load. The actor's newfound focus on eduction was met with words of encouragement and caution from his mother: FULL POST

Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes musician and singer-songwriter Billy Corgan for a remarkably candid and revealing exclusive interview.

Most widely known as the frontman and sole permanent member of the alternative rock band "The Smashing Pumpkins," Corgan shares his personal perspectives on politics, specifically the nation's current commander-in-chief, Barack Obama:

"Moral compass," says Corgan when asked what qualities he most values in a leader. "And that's where I'm disappointed in the president, is he ran on a moral compass agenda. But, what happened? I'm sure there's lots of good reasons, and I'm sure they'll roll somebody out to counter thoughts like that. But I don't see it."

As his bands ninth album, entitled "Oceania," is released this week, the Chicago native is becoming increasingly disheartened with the way his home country is viewed in other parts of the world: FULL POST

In Tuesday's episode of "Piers Morgan Tonight," the host used his "Only in America" segment to focus on photos that light up the night:

"The PBS series 'America Revealed' is giving us extraordinary new images of this vast country, pictures taken from space," explained Piers Morgan. "Pictures that glow with the pulse of everyday life."

Sharing the images with his viewers, Morgan detailed the riding routes of cyclists shuttling pizza all across New York City:

"Many seem to be heading towards my apartment," he joked.

But the newest telling technology explains more than the path of the pizzas, but also their origin, and ingredients: FULL POST

On Tuesday, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni visited "Piers Morgan Tonight" and gave Piers Morgan his take on President Barack Obama's G20 speech earlier in the day. Bruni was quick to note that the president "looked really de-energized" while he gave his remarks and that "he doesn't seem in command."

"The cadence of his [Obama's] speech was very slowed down. There was a lot of hemming and hawing," said Bruni. "He provided this really strange tutorial on European economic dynamics. And I just - I don't think that's what he meant to do when he went to that microphone."

Also on the program, Lisa Friel, former chief of the Manhattan D.A. sex crimes unit and psychologist Dr. Janet Taylor sat down with Morgan to discuss the latest events in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse trial. FULL POST

This evening "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomed "New York Times" Op-Ed Columnist Frank Bruni to share his unique blend of political insight and perspective.

On the heels of Barack Obama's speech closing the G-20 summit in Mexico, Bruni took Tuesday's visit with Piers Morgan to discuss the president's GOP opponent – Mitt Romney – as well as the upcoming general election:

"The polls all say it's pretty close. Do you think it's going to remain that way? Is this going to be a really aggressive, tightly forged contest?" the host asked his guest.

"I do. We could be proven wrong," allowed Bruni. "Right now, we have an economy that seems to be improving incrementally. It's very vague, it's very unclear, and in that uncertainty, you have, I think, the recipe for a nail-biter of an election."

As November inches closer, experts and analysts alike are anxiously awaiting word of the name that will appear next to Romney's on the Republican ticket. Of late, a certain senator from Florida seems to be the vice-presidential front-runner, but Bruni is not convinced: FULL POST

In Monday's episode of "Piers Morgan Tonight," the host used his "Only in America" segment to size up the the tale of the tape from perhaps the most-heated border war the nation has ever known:

"In fact, it's the most-famous family feud in the history of this country," explained Piers Morgan. "The battle between the Hatfields and McCoys."

For nearly three decades in the late 1800's, the two families went to war over the Kentucky-West Virginia border. And everything that wasn't tied down, was up for grabs:

"The clans fought over land, over timber rights, even over a stolen hog," the "Piers Morgan Tonight" host detailed. "Over a dozen people were killed, eight jailed, and one hanged."

Now, more than a century since the rivalry divided the Bluegrass State and Mountain State, it's made it's way to the Golden State, as the subject of a recent History Channel mini-series. After airing a clip featuring Kevin Costner as head of the Hatfields, Morgan revealed that the finale attracted more than 14 million viewers. But it's the non-fictional sequel that may be most dramatic: FULL POST

Tuesday Arsenio Hall, television personality and the latest winner of "Celebrity Apprentice", stopped by "Piers Morgan Tonight" to announce his return to late night television. His new show will air next year.

Before his announcement, Hall spoke with Piers Morgan about the the recent death of Rodney King who's beating by Los Angeles police in 1991 was the catalyst for a string of riots in the city after the police officers involved in the beating were acquitted. "I feel bad for Rodney," said Hall. "The whole back half of his life was kind of sad."

"This was a good guy," said Hall in response to the backlash towards King in his later life. "This is a guy who actually I've heard apologize to the people and happy that people forgave him for what he did. And this is a guy who got beat, you know. He was a sweet guy. He had a good heart."

Mark O'Mara, the defense attorney for accused killer George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case also spoke to Morgan on Tuesday and discussed the transcripts of the recently released jailhouse phone calls between Zimmerman and his wife. FULL POST
