Larry Kings Farewell Speech After The Final Show: It Will Always Be A Part Of Me Thats Gone.
Larry King signed off his eponymous “Larry King Live” last night for the last time, after a star-studded show faded out to a final last Tron-like shot of his glowing microphone, after his final “so long.” But after, there was a party - and more heartfelt words after a quarter-century of that desk and those suspenders anchoring CNN’s Prime Time schedule. Filmmaker Jason Pollock was in attendance to capture King’s impromptu Speech at the event in LA, wher...

"Larry King Live" draws 2.2 million for last show
Los Angeles (Hollywood Reporter) - Larry King went out with a (Ratings) bang.
More than 2.2 million tuned in to watch King's final CNN show on Thursday night.
That may not sound like a huge number, but it was up more than 100% compared to the previous night.
King even beat Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity, the perennial 9 p.m. Cable News, for total tune-in.
Hannity was watched by 2.1 million. But Hannity did beat King among news' target demographic of 25-54 year olds (543,000 vs. 530,000).

The real King's speech
The British film, The King's Speech, nominated this week for seven Golden Globes, tells the story of George VI's battle to overcome a terrible stammer. He was a reluctant king, thrust into the role when his elder brother, Edward VIII, abdicated to marry the American divorcee, Wallis Simpson. Edward VIII, smooth and charming, would have found the role of King so much easier as the BBC Archive website makes abundantly clear. A number of his speeches, uploaded this month, showcase his acc...
David Letterman Commemorates Larry King With Hilarious Blooper Reel
In case you haven’t heard (I’m just kidding, you’ve heard), last night was Larry King’s final episode. To help honor the man, David Letterman gave him the commemoration you’d expect, a hilarious highlight reel of some of Larry King Live’s least prestigious moments. Hearing Robert Blake accuse Larry of having sex with an elephant will never not be funny.
First, Letterman took a few playful jabs at King, including a well placed Oprah reference. But the real laug...

Larry King finale ratings top Fox
A strong finish to a long career.
The finale of “Larry King Live” accomplished the nearly impossible in cable these days: it beat Fox News in Primetime – at least in total viewers.
Fox still won the coveted 25-54 demo, whose members would have missed several of the jokes and songs that made up last night’s "LKL." But 2.24 million total viewers watching CNN were enough to put it over Fox’s 2.162 million.
CNN – 2.240 million total viewers/530k adults...

Larry King to CNN-Watching World: 'So Long'
“I was famous in Miami when I was 26,” Larry King recently informed New York's Steve Fishman. It's just the type of awesome achievement you've got to give the seventy-seven year-old silver fox kudos for: Seven wives (one he married twice), personal friendships with politicians, and twenty-five years of throwing relative softballs, yet getting hard news and expository answers back. Alas, tonight was Larry King's last on CNN, and he left the anchor's chair suspender-clad as he came, ...
Larry King exits CNN after 25 years
NEW YORK — Marking the occasion with bright red suspenders, Larry King pulled the curtain down on his CNN Talk Show on Thursday after 25 years. King, 77, said this summer he would leave. Once the dominant voice on Cable Television news, King has faded in a sea of sharp talkers.

"Good evening, and welcome to the last 'Larry King Live,'" he said as the show opened T...
Sitting Pop Culture Shiva for Larry King
TV host Larry King arrives at CNN's Larry King Live final broadcast party yesterday at Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills. Last night, Larry King Live aired for the final time on CNN after 25 years and over 6,000 shows. Though the 77 year old and Bill Maher, who along with Ryan Seacrest officiated the episode, insisted that this “was not a Funeral,” it kind of felt like one. Katie Couric read a poem (or eulogy?); Regis Philbin led us in a Sinatra song (a hymn?), The Best is Yet to Com...
