The occurrences of each type were: Bald on Record with 23 instances, Positive Politeness with 22 instances, Negative Politeness with 4 instances, and no Off-Record strategies were found. It was concluded that the Bald on Record strategy was more dominant. Additionally, Piers Morgan's use of politeness strategies was more directed at interlocutors with opposing views. This was due to the sensitivity of the topic, necessitating clarity and the avoidance of misunderstandings.

Moreover, these strategies helped create effective communicative interactions and mutual respect, especially during debates. Keywords: Piers Morgan, Politeness Strategies, Pragmatic, Talk Show.
