The tabloid newspaper editor turned TV host Piers Morgan seems to have incurred the sour grapes of his predecessor, the CNN interviewer Larry King.
Morgan's heavily billed new show has seen its ratings slump by 75 per cent since first airing on January 17. And now the erstwhile host has put the boot in.
"One of the problems they did was to oversell it," King told the BBC. "They said he was going to be dangerous, he was going to be water-cooler talk. It was 'wait till you see me, I'm different.'
"Well, he's good - but he's not that dangerous."
Morgan took over the flagship show after 25 years of King at the helm. But King seems not to rate his replacement highly.
"I don't want to be horrible about him - I think he's a fine broadcaster," King said, showing a nice line in damning by faint praise.
Morgan has a colourful past. He was fired as editor of the tabloid Daily Mirror after publishing a series of photographs said to show British troops mistreating Iraqi prisoners of war. The photos were later exposed to be fakes.
King, at least on the face of it, was at pains not to be too unkind. "I like him," he said. "I've met him a few times."
Morgan made his debut in January with Oprah Winfrey as his first guest, but attracted mixed reviews. King said: "He's certainly an acceptable host. He asks good questions, maybe he interrupts a little too much at times."
One in nine do not have enough to eat
Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.
One of the organisation’s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.
The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.
Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.
It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.
On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.
Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.
