Piers Morgan and the staff of PIERS MORGAN TONIGHT are celebrating the first year of shows at CNN, with an anniversary week kicking off tonight at 9pm ET/PT with Chelsea Handler interviewing Piers.  Rosie O'Donnell is a guest Tuesday and former Pres. Jimmy Carter is on Wednesday. "It's turned into much more of a news show," says Piers about his first year on the air. "That was driven by the incredible news cycle we've had, and by the fact that my training and background is all news journalism."

Piers said the formula will remain in 2012: "When there's news, we'll do it very well, and when there's no news, we'll do great interviews with big stars." How did he get into TV? "The main reason I got into television was because I got fired from my job as a newspaper editor, so I was kind of looking for something to do," joked Piers.

The celebration week begins with tonight's show as Chelsea Handler interviews Piers at 9pm ET/PT.
