Are you watching this Larry King finale? What a slobber-fest! (It featured 2 presidents — Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger, 4 TV news anchors, Ryan Seacrest and Bill Maher, SNL‘s Fred Armisen doing a King impersonation, Regis Philbin and Tony Bennett singing — the latter “The Best is Yet to Come” via remote from Louisiana.) Save me from all this b.s. for a man who rarely asked a hard question in his 25-year on-air career for CNN:
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.
Loading ...
Agreed, never asks one hard question, always loses his train of thought, Bill Clinton, Ryan Seacrest and Bill Maher as his last guests, go eat at BOA head up to the Playboy mansion and get lost!
LMAO!! Nikki, shame on you!! I feel the same but I can’t seem to change the channel!!!
You just got more to the point than Mr. King did in his entire (puff-piece laden) career.
What a hack.
I take it you’re not a big King fan Nikki?
Agreed. This guy is a blubbering @ss. However, I think that his replacement is going to be more of an @ss and he will be replaced by an even bigger @ss in Ryan Seacrest.
Yes. One no talent passes the baton to another no talent who will eventually pass it to the bland, safe and boring Seacrest!
I love watching Bill and Ryan together. Could there be two people who look more uncomfortable next to each other?
Never asked a hard question in his career?
C’mon Nikki, he did press Clay Aiken if he was gay.
Disagree, I loved the Larry King Show. I’m going to miss it. If he asked really hard questions, he’d never have been able to secure the guests that he’s gotten. You know the saying, Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. He lets guests tell their stories for a “full hour,” not the three minutes most shows allow. He also didn’t have the ego to belittle his audience or guests or scream “Toldja” every second.
Amen! good riddance to a man and program who consistently asks the most inane and idiotic questions ALL THE TIME
Bwahahahahahaha. I normally don’t swing that way, but I just might love you Nikki Finke.
The question is are YOU watching it? Cuz if you don’t like it… um… shut it off Nikki.
I think the guy is worthy of a modicum of respect.
Nikki, Larry King may be overrated and long of tooth, but I am happy to see the Chicken Noodle Network give him a dignified, if distended, savoir-faire.
Media concerns, Hollywood included, are not known for treating the senior set with dignity. In fact, “the gray hairs” are often not respected at all in this youth-obsessed, flavor-of-the-month industry. Mr. King will be gone — and gone for good soon enough.
If he burns a few pixels on his way out, I say more power to him. Given how long he survived the mercurial fates of the television industry — especially remarkable given his wet noodle, softly lobbed questions — I ‘d say he’s earned it.
Wouldn’t you? He’s the last of a breed (I count more hard-edged, solid journalists such as Ted Koppel in this group as well) that we shall not see come this way soon again.
agreed, bobby the saint. + 1,000,000.
and whatever happened to public courtesies? the remarks here are vile. yes, larry king has become the crazy uncle you fear might say something off-color or embarrassing during the wedding toast. but king is on his way out. it is not kind to kick an old goat on its way to the glue factory.
hello? respect for elders?
He may not be Charlie Rose, but seriously, don’t be lame Nikki.
Oh Nikki, thanks for watching so I don’t have to. Just the thought makes me cringe.
Now can someone please give Baba Wawa the hook too?
Proving the point: Hollywood is as ageist as it gets.
Best part: his kid’s spot-on impression of him.
You really are a jolly old hipster.
If you think Piers Morgan is going to be any better, think again.
Piers Morgan is a complete and utter joke. His show in the UK failed miserably and I suspect this one will too. The question is whether or not CNN with pull a Park and Spitz and just leave the show on the air.
Thank you!! The ass kiss king of interviews is long overstaying his welcome.
Nikki, I really expected more from you. Love him or hate him the man has had his own show for 25 years and is a broadcasting legend.
Your comment is in poor taste, tacky and classless.
Gee tell us how you really feel.
Frankly I never thought King was anything but fluff.
The man’s a legend, regardless of how entertaining his last show ever might be to you. If you can’t see that, fine, but don’t whine about it to the rest of us.
Not much to add to that. You’ve said it all!! Haha.
funny lady.
Don’t you just love Deadline Hollywood? Where else can you obsess over Larry King’s departure for months, then on the night of, come back to hear Nikki pretend he hasn’t been an important (to someone other than me) institution for decades? As if he’s the only saccahrin talking head left in the smorgasboard of hard-hitting journalists. But I wasn’t kidding. DHD may have wasted my time with this coverage for weeks on end, but at last someone said what I was thinking. Larry, you made me tired long before you looked tired.
What’s wrong with you? I love Larry, and will miss him.
