In 1994 a television series based on On the Hour was broadcast under the name The Day Today which made a star of Morris, and also helped to launch the careers of Patrick Marber and Steve Coogan.
The "sick comedy" of its creator found full release with Brass Eye, another spoof current affairs television documentary show. Morris attracted further outrage when he falsely claimed on the radio that Jimmy Saville and Conservative MP Michael Heseltine had died and had a show cancelled mid-broadcast when he played a cut-up of the Archbishop of Canterbury's funeral oration for Diana, Princess of Wales.

Morris' sitcom Nathan Barley was co-written by Charlie Brooker. A significant feature of Morris' output is his music. He often composes and performs all incidental music for his television shows, notably with Jam and the 'extended remix' version, Jaaaaam.
