Every Christmas, social media finds a new reason to recycle old jokes, and this year Piers Morgan found himself at the centre of one yet again. A viral post resurfaced claiming that the broadcaster had secretly appeared in the Home Alone franchise, specifically as the “Pigeon Lady” from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.The claim was shared jokingly by users revisiting the 1992 holiday classic, with one post declaring, “It’s that time of year again where we all watch @piersmorgan star in Home Alone.” The post gained traction quickly, pulling Morgan himself into the conversation and prompting a blunt response that shut the rumour down.Piers Morgan Home Alone Rumour ExplainedThe viral moment began as a tongue-in-cheek comparison rather than a serious accusation. Over the years, fans have jokingly pointed out a supposed resemblance between Piers Morgan and the character known as the Pigeon Lady, a lonely figure who befriends Kevin McCallister during his adventures in New York. As the film trends every December, the joke tends to resurface, often catching new audiences who aren’t in on the context.This time, the post spread widely enough that Morgan responded directly. His reply was short and unmistakable: “It’s. Not. Me.” With that, the TV host made it clear he had no involvement in the Home Alone films and had not played any character in the franchise.In reality, the Pigeon Lady was portrayed by Irish actress Brenda Fricker, whose performance became one of the more emotional subplots of the sequel. The role is well documented, and the Home Alone cast lists confirm Morgan was never part of the films in any capacity.Despite this, the joke continues to gain attention each year due to nostalgia, social media humour, and Piers Morgan’s recognisable public image. His own reactions over time have only added fuel to the seasonal gag, even as he repeatedly denies it.In the end, there’s no hidden cameo or forgotten role to uncover. The rumour remains a running internet joke, revived annually alongside Christmas movie marathons, and firmly debunked by Morgan himself.
