Piers Morgan's Uncensored Surges Past 4M Subscribers After Controversial Year
Piers Morgan's YouTube channel, Uncensored, has seen rapid growth since he took full control in early 2025. The platform now boasts over 4.3 million subscribers, placing it ahead of competitors like Ben Shapiro and Tim Pool. Controversial debates and high-profile interviews have fuelled its rise, with some clashes even making headlines.
Morgan officially gained ownership of Uncensored from Rupert Murdoch's News UK in January 2025. By March 2026, subscriber numbers had surged from around 1.5 million to over 3.2 million, with videos regularly pulling in 500,000 to 1 million views. The channel's growth rate of 113% outpaced many rivals, though it still trails behind Joe Rogan's 18 million subscribers.
The channel's content has often sparked controversy. During one debate, legal scholar Alan Dershowitz threatened to sue comedian Bassem Youssef over claims about Jeffrey Epstein being a spy. In another heated moment, a guest called an opponent a 'terrorist piece of crap' in front of journalist Glenn Greenwald and a retired U.S. general. Jeffrey Epstein's brother also abruptly ended an interview with Morgan by hanging up. By late 2025, Morgan had secured $30 million in funding to expand *Uncensored* with new shows and hosts. The channel now ranks just below Theo Von but above Megyn Kelly in subscriber numbers, cementing its place in the competitive world of political and cultural commentary.
With its mix of viral interviews and confrontational debates, Uncensored has become a major player on YouTube. The $30 million investment will likely bring further expansion, while its subscriber growth shows no signs of slowing. The channel's ability to attract high-profile guests and generate headlines continues to drive its success.
