His talk show, “Larry King Live,” was the top-rated cable news show for most of the ‘80s, although it has been surpassed in recent years by Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor” and NBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.”
In the finale of “Larry King Live” (aired on December 15th), King interviewed former President Bill Clinton and was joined by guest hosts Ryan Seacrest and Bill Maher.
King, who has interviewed every U.S. president since Gerald Ford, has said that he will continue to do specials for CNN in the future.
In the meantime he has handed over the CNN mike — but not his suspenders — to Piers Morgan, who will succeed him in January.
Strangely enough, the finale was not the final episode of “Larry King Live;” a new installment, “The War on Cancer,” aired two days later. The special, which focused on the state of cancer research, was intended to run before the “final” edition but was not finished in time.
Readers, will you be tuning in to watch Piers Morgan when he takes over in January? And what are some of your favorite Larry King moments? Share with us in the comments.
