Piers Morgan Uncensored on Channel 5: What Time It Is On, How Long and How to Watch
Image: Channel 5 Piers Morgan Uncensored is on Channel 5 on Friday 13 November 2026 at 11.05pm, running until 1am.
Piers Morgan Uncensored started life as a TV talk show, became a YouTube show, and now comes back to broadcast television once a week as a late Friday round-up on Channel 5. Piers Morgan hosts. The programme mixes news, argument and long interviews, with the presenter’s own views up front rather than kept in the background.
Updated Wednesday 11 November 2026.
What time is Piers Morgan Uncensored on Channel 5?
The next edition is listed for Friday 13 November 2026, starting at 11.05pm and ending at 1am, so it crosses into Saturday morning. Our listings number it series 2, episode 41, and it carries subtitles and an HD picture.
That is five minutes later than the slot the show launched in. When Channel 5 first scheduled it, the start time was 11pm on Fridays, and it has stayed a late Friday programme on the channel. The rest of that evening is in the Channel 5 TV guide.
What is Piers Morgan Uncensored?
It is a news and debate show built around Piers Morgan’s opinions, with argument between guests and interviews with people in the headlines.
The main show is made for YouTube. The Channel 5 programme is not a separate live show. It is a weekly highlights edition: the producers take the strongest moments from the past few days online and rework them into one long programme for TV viewers. If you already watch on YouTube, much of what you see on Friday night will be familiar.
Episode guide
| Date | Time | Channel | Episode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 12 September 2025 | 11pm | Channel 5 | First Channel 5 edition |
| Friday 13 November 2026 | 11.05pm to 1am | Channel 5 | Series 2, episode 41 |
| Following weeks | Not listed yet | Channel 5 |
Listings only reach about a week ahead, so later editions appear here once they are scheduled. We don’t know in advance which interviews a given week’s round-up will lead on, because the content comes from that week’s online episodes.
How did a YouTube show end up on Channel 5?
The show began on TalkTV, the channel run by News UK, in April 2022, as a nightly programme. In early 2024 Piers Morgan ended the daily TV version and took Uncensored to YouTube on its own.
Channel 5 then struck a deal to bring a weekly version to linear TV, and the first edition aired at 11pm on Friday 12 September 2025. The deal was presented at the time as a first: an established broadcaster picking up a current affairs show made for YouTube. Federico Ruiz, a commissioning editor at 5, ordered it.
By the time of that announcement, Piers Morgan said the YouTube channel had passed a billion views in roughly three years.
Who presents it and who makes it?
Piers Morgan presents. The show is made by his company, Wake Up Productions, which also produces the YouTube episodes the Channel 5 edition is cut from.
How long is it?
The edition on Friday 13 November 2026 is listed for one hour and 55 minutes, from 11.05pm to 1am. When Channel 5 first announced the programme it was billed at 90 minutes, so this listing gives it a longer slot than that.
