Like the time his producers called Stephanopolus and patched him in as a caller to destroy George Bush right before the vote. Then again, maybe that was the producers, because Larry seemed surprised as well and George and Barbara.

They’ll probably replace Larry with Bill Moyer or Bill Press.

Re:

Professor Farnsworth? Hey... Farnsworth? Where the heck are you?

Oh... there you are!

What'd you... say, Larry?

Did you see... what martin posted?

Oh, you mean that photo of you... along side a photo of a most handsome inventor type?

That's you... you twit! Look behind you!

Well, yes, that is me at my most handsomeness... but you look much older than you do in a cartoon.

That why I pay... the cartoonist extra! But maybe that money can do a better job elsewhere--

Ten minutes and $20 later:

Oh, martin? I want you to know I was going to have this for lunch... but Larry has paid me extra to place it elsewhere. Can you come a little closer and look down at that spot on the floor? There is a dime I need you to bend over and pick up.

The would have seemed unlike King. The reason he gets a lot of interviews others don’t is people know they won’t get screwed by King. OK, maybe that means he asks a lot of softballs, but it is nice to see occasionally people on the right able to give their points of view without being interrupted half way through.

How hard can it be to find someone as stupid as Larry King? Hollywood is full of them.

[DustyMoment]

Ryan Seacrest!!!????

I can see his first interview . . . . . with Madonna . . . . . . (Ryan) “so, maddie, tell me about the traffic cone brassiere . . . . . “

King is already rolling over in his grave over this . . wait until he’s DEAD!!!

[Ditto]

How true. I seldom watch King but one show I saw was when he had the Mike Rowe guy who does the 'Dirty Jobs' show on the Discovery Channel. To Rowe's credit, he tried not to make the interview about himself. He brought along some of the guys who really do the 'dirty jobs' that keep the world turning.

King just could not grasp the concept of celebrating these people. He just had a blank look on his face and kept asking Rowe why he would do tough, dirty, dangerous jobs like that and Rowe kept telling him that he really didn't do the jobs, but the guys he brought with him did them every day. King could not get it and treated the other guys like some kind of circus freaks. He was clueless.

Probably the worst job of interviewing I ever saw.

Good old Larry. I remember his dead-boring radio show being simulcast on late-night cable and watching Larry eat a banana while taking a call, oblivious to the camera apparently.

We all remember Larry’s USA Today column which was actually enjoyable despite its occasional repetition and all those ellipses (...). We all are ADD-addled web surfers now but his column was catnip in the pre-Internet days.

Of course, Larry took a strange sort of pride in being utterly and intentionally unprepared. He claimed it made his questions spontaneous but too often he couldn’t move beyond the obvious.

Last but not least was Larry’s media-bubble view of politics and ideology in which, as always, Dems were the good guys looking out for the werkin’ man and Republicans were an alien species intent on enslaving mankind.

“He was clueless.”

I think that pretty much wraps it all nicely. Never understood why anyone would watch him interview people. Based on his ratings, apparently not many do.

I remember him in Miami, WIOD (IIRC).

One night he simply left town, owing money to a lot of people. Left his wife holding the bag. Just left.

After that I have had zero respect for him.

Didn’t hear of him for about 10 yrs. Think he resurfaced in Atlanta.
