Larry King Ending Show After 25 Years (Video)

Earlier this evening, TV broadcasting legend Larry King dropped a bombshell: after 25 years of hosting the ‘Larry King Live‘ show on CNN, his nightly show will end this fall.

King made the surprising announcement via his Twitter account right before he taped this evening’s show. “Announcing tonight: I’m ending my nightly show this fall but continuing at CNN,” King wrote.

Larry King Ending Show After 25 Years

In a full statement on CNN.com, the TV icon said, “Before I start the show tonight, I want to share some personal news with you. 25 years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of Larry King Live. Now, decades later, I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end Larry King Live, the nightly show, this fall and CNN has graciously accepted, giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids’ little league games.

“I’m incredibly proud that we recently made the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest running show with the same host in the same time slot. With this chapter closing I’m looking forward to the future and what my next chapter will bring, but for now it’s time to hang up my nightly suspenders.”

The journalist will still appear on CNN frequently, hosting topic-related specials. “I’ll still be a part of the CNN family, hosting several Larry King specials on major national and international subjects,” King confirmed in the statement.

The decision to leave the show comes after months of declining ratings and media speculation about the future of King’s career. The NY Times reported in March that the program was down about 50 percent in viewers and had seen its worst quarter ever at the start of the year.

King’s announcement also comes just a few weeks after his own personal life made headline news. In April, King and his wife, Shawn Southwick, filed for divorce after both accused the other of infidelity. A month later, the reconciled couple called off the divorce and moved back in together. Earlier this month, Southwick suffered a prescription pill overdose and has been recovering since.

Larry King Was Sleeping With Wife’s Sister?

Another day another celebrity affair is reported so let’s call Larry King to the stage because he is being accused of having a 5 year affair with his wife’s sister.

Larry King Was Sleeping With Wife's Sister?

Yesterday it was revealed that Larry and his seventh wife of 13-years, Shawn Southwick, were heading for divorce after they both had a huge fight and filed for divorce.

The divorce papers cited irreconcilable differences, he asked for joint custody of their two children but she wants primary custody as well as child and spousal support from him.

Now it is being rumored that Larry was sleeping with Shawn’s younger sister, Shannon Southwick, for the past 5 years. She is of course denying this but according to TMZ they were definitely doing the dirty and he bought her all kinds of stuff including a $160,000 car.

The final straw came when Shawn started checking his credit card and noticed a bunch of shit from Cartier, none of which she received. They had a punch up outside a Beverly Hills restaurant over it and have now split up.

Given the amount of people that Larry King has interviewed over their affairs and scandals, you would think he would remember the number one rule: never leave a paper trail. If he was going to cheat on his wife, which is insane at his age, then he should have paid in cash for those gifts.

Jon Gosselin Empties Family Bank Account

The hateful war between Kate and Jon Gosselin has just took another dive because he has apparently emptied their joint bank account.

Jon Gosselin Empties Family Bank Account

According to Radar Online , the same day that Jon appeared on Larry King saying how he wants things to go nicely with Kate … he went to the nearest bank and withdrew almost their entire balance.

Yes he didn’t take the whole balance, Jon took over $200,000 for himself and left Kate with only $1000. According to sources, Kate uses this money to pay bills and food for the kids. It is also said that Jon broke court rules by taking money out of the bank account because it was supposed to be untouched (other than the bills).

Kate’s lawyers immediately flipped their shit and sent Jon and his lawyers a letter telling him to put the money back straight away but they never got a response, so now her lawyer is expected to go to a court in Pennsylvania to ask Jon be held in contempt and also put the money back.

I’m not a fan of either of these people but somebody needs to get Jon Gosselin and hang him.

Chris Brown To Apologize For Rihanna Beating On Larry King Live

According to RadarOnline, douchebag woman beater Chris Brown is set to apologize for what he did to Rihanna – again.


Check out the first apology, which he posted to his YouTube channel on July 20, 2009:

It was basically scripted and a bunch of hooey. He sounded like he was reading from a cue card and was feigning sincerity. Thus, the reason for a second apology, and on “Larry King Live”, no less.

According to sources, Brown wants to do his first interview with Larry King in a setting where he won’t face “brutal questioning”. King was Brown’s handlers first choice for the interview, and he will be discussing the night that he beat Rihanna.

Are you sick of his apologies? I know I am. He needs to fade into oblivion already. The only thing he’s got going for himself right now is this:

When the dancing wedding party stops doing this for anyone who’ll watch, maybe he’ll go away?
