First launching in April 2022, after Piers stormed out of his lucrative ITV gig as Good Morning Britain co-host, the show also recently passed 1 billion views since it started three years ago.
The show airs on YouTube and involves Piers interviewing people about controversial issues.
It was originally broadcast on TalkTV from April 25 2022 until February 8 2024.
Piers shared his theories as to why his talk show has been such a hit.
'There is no current affairs debate/interview show in the world that offers a platform to so many diverse opinions, or that is seeing faster-growing numbers on YouTube," he said.
"These two things are not unconnected. We're enjoying such huge subscriber growth because people, especially younger people, want to hear smart, intelligent debate between myriad different voices and then make their own minds up about issues.'
Piers Morgan Uncensored has hosted world-leaders from Donald Trump to Volodymyr Zelensky and Benjamin Netanyahu.
The host has interviewed everyone from Cristiano Ronaldo to Kevin Spacey, and influencers such as, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Mehdi Hasan and Megyn Kelly.
Podcast Joe Rogan had nothing but praise for Piers Morgan Uncensored.
'It's very entertaining. It's kind of genius in terms of engagement perspective,' he said.
Piers Morgan says 'my parents would disown me' as he turns down reality show
Lindsey Bowers is the head of digital for the online show and revealed it has had a surge of followers in India, Pakistan and South Africa.
'Our global reach is fuelled by Piers' unique journalistic profile around the world, thanks to his four decades in various types of print and broadcast media, which is reflected in his huge social media follower numbers; his willingness to stridently voice his own opinions and ask difficult questions; and the fact that he understands how to adapt and innovate in a digital age," Lindsey said.
"It also helps that he has a tabloid-trained nose for a good story and for creating memorable viral moments - everything from the real-life alleged stalker in Baby Reindeer, Fiona Harvey, to Kanye 'Ye' West storming out.'
Piers Morgan's Uncensored airs each week night on YouTube.

During an interview with The Times in February 2024, Morgan announced that the show was leaving TalkTV to move to his YouTube channel due to the "unnecessary straightjacket" of television scheduling.
He felt moving the programme to YouTube would enable him to build a global audience.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Maya Jama has hit back at Love Island fix rumours Credit: YouTube/The Chunkz Show 3 The host revealed exactly how much input producers can have in Islanders romances Credit: YouTube/The Chunkz Show 3 Maya admitted that producers 'encourage' Islanders to have chats Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Appearing on The Chunkz Show, Maya also admitted she refuses to find out in advance who will be dumped from the villa, saying she only gets the results the same time as the Islanders. Maya said: "I've never said the wrong name, but there are cameras constantly around and they like the dramatic pauses. "There is a lot of me saying something and then it waits. It's funny with the new Islanders, where they're not used to me saying something and then pausing for ages and they're all looking around like 'is she frozen?'. "I feel so awkward for them because they're just standing there in their little outfits." Maya then explained that the producers do not create scenarios but simply "encourages" the Islanders to pull each other for a chat. She continued: "I don't know if it's illegal or what but they can't tell them what to do. "The most they can do is encourage them to have a little chat, but it has to be real because it's reality." Maya added: "I do this technique where I don't let them tell me who's going until I'm stood in front of them in my ear because I don't want to stare at the person or give away. "Literally as I say it, I find out one second before anyone else." It comes after viewers were shocked after axed Islander Remell appeared to suggest it wasn't his decision to dump Poppy. Love Islanders lick and spank each other in sexiest Heart Rate Challenge yet The Islander appeared on Aftersun to discuss his time on the show and managed to spark fix claims with his comments. As he chatted to Poppy, who was also in the audience, he said: 'It wasn't my decision to dump you.' Remell decided to ditch Poppy in favour of Alima after The Sleepover, despite sharing a bed with her and kissing her. Those watching at home were confused by his comment, with one person remarking: 'Remell has just said live on TV 'It wasn't my decision to dump you' so just told us that Love Island is just one big set up!' A second said: 'What did Remmel mean by 'it wasn't my decision to dump you' when speaking to Poppy?' While a third added: 'What does Remmel mean it wasn't his decision to dump Poppy? Producers pushing the agenda? Did he let that slip?' And another added: 'Wait.. did Remell said it wasn't his decision to dump Poppy.' Others however were quick to clarify what he meant - that he didn't know she would go home if she wasn't picked. While other fans accused bosses of "fixing" last week's public dumping, in a bid to get rid of Megan after all the Conor drama.

Emmerdale fans 'know' who's targeting Joe - and they're not working alone
Emmerdale fans are convinced two characters have teamed up to take down Joe Tate amid a mystery set-up and a new flame for Kim Tate on the ITV soap, with sinister messages sent Some Emmerdale fans think someone closer to home is targeting Joe Tate despite his belief it's Billy Fletcher. Joe made a number of enemies for himself recently, leading to one of them, Dawn Taylor, shoving him out of a second floor window at Home Farm. Weeks on and he's not made amends, and if anything he's creating more drama. Someone has been harassing him, leaving him sinister messages, and sneaking into his room. His medication was stolen and his window, the very window he was pushed from, was opened by a mystery person. With his car keyed, Joe was quick to blame Dawn's ex Billy amid their fling and then romance. But Billy denied it all, leading to Joe wanting him out the way and having Shaun teach him a lesson, while this plan was thwarted. With Joe eager to get to the bottom of the harassment, he seemed to turn his attentions to Kim Tate in the latest episode. He has Shaun "keep an eye" on her, clearly questioning whether she could be up to something, and no doubt suspecting her too. Betraying Kim by having her watched, he told Shaun "knowledge is power" as he asked him to report back with anything suspicious. But could Joe actually be on to something? Some fans are speculating that Kim could be the one onto Joe, secretly plotting to bring him down after their past deadly feud. Some fans don't think she's working alone though and amid her new romance with mystery "Eddie" there's a theory that Kim and someone else are working together to get Joe. In fact, one key theory is that Shaun is the person helping Kim, and is only pretending to be Joe's accomplice. But is Shaun secretly in cahoots with Kim, getting him on side so the both of them can take him down? One fan predicted: "I think the guy working for Joe is really working for Kim." Another fan added: "Who do we think is out to get Joe? I think Sean could be faking helping him or maybe Kim or maybe both." Another theory suggested Kim's mystery new man Eddie was the one targeting Joe, or perhaps helping Kim. They said: "I wonder if Eddie is trying to get to Joe?" Viewers will soon learn who is really targeting Joe and why in upcoming scenes, and whether Kim and Shaun are involved, separately or together. There's certainly some big scenes ahead for Joe and his storyline, but fans will just have to wait and see what happens there.

I was abandoned by my mum an hour after I was born – 24 years on I've tracked down my dad & have a message for mum
DISCOVERED in a Surrey multi-story car park in 2001, she was famously known as the 'Baby In Pink'. Sarah Meyer's story first appeared on ITV's This Morning 24 years ago and made her first appearance today. 6 Sarah Meyer's story first appeared on ITV's This Morning 24 years ago and made her first appearance today 6 She was abandoned by her birth mother Credit: ITV 6 Police officer Wendy appeared on This Morning holding Sarah Credit: ITV She was initially featured on the ITV show as a newborn in a bid to trace her parents. Found wrapped in a pink towel, her story captivated viewers. More than two decades later, Sarah returned to This Morning to provide a significant life update to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. She shared details of her adoption, with footage showing her being cared for by former hosts Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley during her initial appearance. In the clip, Judy, then 57, held Sarah and told viewers: 'This little sprog was abandoned in a multi-story carpark. She was barely an hour old, weighing just 7lbs.' After watching the tape back, Sarah said: 'It was crazy seeing that again and being back here. It's insane, full circle. I've been able to find my birth parents. 'My foster parents have always kept me informed about my past, and done it the right way. 'My backstory - they've shown me the clips and newspapers. I've always had my identity and history, that's the way it should be. Any questions I've had, they answered.' This week Sarah's search for her birth parents will be shown in a documentary called Long Lost Family: Born Without A Trace. Sarah continued: 'I'm proud of my story. I wanted to find out what is out there but also wanted to show who is out there that I've had a good life. I Met My Sister After More Than 50 Years Apart 'I understand they'd also have the question of where am I now - I wanted to show them that I'm okay and give them that reassurance. I'm at peace with it and they can put it to bed. 'My birth mother thanked everyone for looking after me in a letter. 'The amount of gratitude of the people who stepped up to be my family is immense, they don't get enough gratitude. Nobody thanks them. 'They are the start of the family for those people, Wendy was the start of my family.' Sarah originally appeared on This Morning in 2001, as she was being held by a police officer called Wendy. Speaking to Cat and Ben today, Sarah described her birth father explaining how 'insane' it is that they are 'so alike.' We put Sarah's DNA across the four being genealogical sites Ariel Bruce, the lead researcher from Long Lost Family She added: 'My dad didn't even know that I existed. The way he welcomed me into his family was insane. My nan worked in the hospital I was brought into.' Speaking about her birth mother's absence, Sarah said: 'The door is open for my birth mother and always will be. 'I've had 24 years to process my story. My mum has had a much shorter amount of time to process it. Life is complex.' As the interview with Cat and Ben came to the end, a video of Richard Madeley speaking from his garden was played. The TV presenter, 69, said: 'What an end to an incredible story. We were so passionate about trying to find your family for you. 'Huge congratulations from Judy and from me. Have a great rest of your life and lots of love.' 6 Davina McCall presents the Long Lost Family show on ITV 6 Police went on to This Morning to appeal for help to track down her family Credit: ITV 6 Sarah Meyer was left in a multistory carpark in 2001 and appeared on the ITV show's sofa as a newborn in a bid for police to trace her parents Credit: ITV Sarah was joined on the sofa by Ariel Bruce, the lead researcher from Long Lost Family who used Sarah's DNA to finally get her answers on her birth parents.
