After 25 years, will CNN Larry King's replacement
NEW YORK - CNN is preparing for a summer research, a successor to Larry King, who suddenly announced he is leaving the show, that the focus of network news programming these 25 years was found. Even if the host changes, CNN was in the idea of a show with provocative interview opinion leaders, "said CNN U.S. President Jon Klein. "No one else does," he said. "This is an important tool in the arsenal, and we want to keep." King's announcement Tuesday came a few weeks after celebrating his 25th Birthday with a week, shows the president Barack Obama, LeBron James, Bill Gates and Lady Gaga Interview - precisely the unique mix of celebrities and statesmen, which he signed "Larry King Live." King said he will continue to do occasional events for CNN after his resignation in the fall. It was already lobbying for its guests last week on Tuesday, extracting a promise from ABC, Diane Sawyer, when she came into his show to congratulate him appear. The radio host has long been a pioneer in cable television. From the first issue on which he interviewed then talk to New York Governor Mario Cuomo, office king as a popular meeting place for everyone, the nation was considered interested. King's interviewing style was straightforward, and sometimes critically ill prepared to propose, but it was good to his guests at ease. Klein said the king was a pioneer. "It attracted many people so this new frontier of the cable once knew before any of what it was, says Klein, live the called the King, respiratory Hall of Fame to continue working." Dressed as the cable news audience for the entertainment and political opinion makers has are many more points for interviews in recent years, the king slipped in the rankings behind Fox News Channel and MSNBC - two networks that are not there yet, during his first trip on his personal TV. During his interview with Lady Gaga, distribution-76-year-old veteran had people ask if he really in touch with a younger pop star for half a century as he. King said he felt no pressure to leave CNN. He said he began thinking about his resignation when a plane flew home to Los Angeles from Akron, Ohio, where he interviewed James, and he thought about his big names of customers a week. "Tell me, can I not topped," King recalled in an interview on Tuesday. "I'm tired of the grind ightly No," he said. & Quot; I do not want to do other things, but I would like on CNN in a way … Continue . It is a case of large mixed feelings. "King told his staff Tuesday during a conference call that he called" one of the worst 10 minutes of my life. CNN again his time programming and Prime Minister last week announced that former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is conservative columnist Kathleen Parker and co-organizer of a show clock 20.00 BST on politics and current events. CBS News anchor Katie Couric has long been considered a potential successor to King. To talk lately cooled with proposals that do not like Couric, the responsibility for a network with other diseases of the ratings assume discuss Klein is not the candidate-specific. Recent reports have pointed out that "could America's Got Talent" judge Piers Morgan to be a candidate. King said if it were up to him, "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest is the best choice to fill his shoes. King is believed to have carried out 50 000 interviews over a year broadcasting career-53. He said he always tried to ask short questions and never an order of the day, so his ego at the door. "I never learned anything while I spoke, he said." That's my motto. "King of Comedy, I have some sympathy with Bill Maher, the host of" Larry King Live "on Tuesday especially there in the night of the announcement." I heard people say, not included Larry Lady Gaga, "said Maher." Who Lady Gaga understand? "King has rejected a series of stories this spring in question of their future and speculate on possible successors." You can not on things that control you can not worry, "he said." I can not control whether a newspaper is speculating on something, or if a blog is to speculate … . If I leave, I'll go crazy. So what I'm trying to do, and I'm not morbid, I try to make the best show possible. If it works, it works. "Said King, he could see the baseball All-Star games his son this weekend. If it is during the week, he had to miss it." I will never see this again, "he said." You will not be repeated. You are 11 and 10 Do not know 10 to 11 and walk again. "In addition to working with CNN, said he would be king interested in working in the comedy. Maher said the show on behalf of the many people in America," I will miss you terribly at this time. "
