Asked by Leno about the swirling rumors, Morgan responded, "I can't actually talk about it; All I can say is ... I just signed a 3-year contract with America's Got Talent."

As RadarOnline.com was first to report on June 30, Morgan, 45, has been wooed by CNN with a multi-million deal to freshen up the void left by King, whose dropping ratings and recent marital woes might have hastened his departure from the network.
