The journalist-turned-anchor will head the network's live simulcast, which will cover the UK's celebration of the Queen's 60-year reign.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the broadcast will begin on Sunday, June 3 at 11am ET and will continue on Tuesday, June 5 at 9am for the Royal Carriage Procession.
CNN will also air special documentaries leading up to the festivities, including Kate and Wills: First Anniversary on Saturday, May 26 and The Diamond Queen, on Saturday, June 2.
Morgan currently hosts CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, which currently holds the old time slot of Larry King Live.
He recently blasted Newsnight host Jeremy Paxman, after Paxman alleged in a testimony to the Leveson Inquiry that Morgan taught him how to hack cellphone voicemails.
You wouldn't believe the Jubilee was NEXT WEEK!
All the TV here is Olympic obsessed! Poor Queenie! LOL
