Larry King ending his show later this year (2010)

CNN's Larry King says he's ending show

(AP) – 20 minutes ago

NEW YORK — Larry King says he's stepping down this fall from the prime-time show that has anchored CNN's lineup for 25 years.

All manners of statesmen, newsmakers and Hollywood stars have sat across his desk for plain-spoken interviews during the past quarter-century, but "Larry King Live" has recently been suffering in the ratings and there's been speculation about his future.

King said in a message he sent via Twitter: "It's time to hang up my nightly suspenders."

His VCR still blinks 12:00, so I'm sure he himself twitter'd the news.

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say Ryan Seacrest gets the job, since he has 15 other jobs right now.

The show is probably the only thing keeping that poor guy alive.

How old is he anyways? I used to listen to his radio show back in the 80s, me and a friend even crank-called him a few times. I heard his doctor made him quit doing the radio since doing that and CNN at the same time was stressing him out too much.

Larry's a pro. A pro-fessional. Look it up in the book.

It's been a long time since he's been relevant.

Is he still married to someone 1/3 of his age?
