Larry King retires from “Larry King Live”

After 25 years, Larry King will end his CNN show this fall. Larry wants to spend more time with his family and watch his kids’ baseball games. His statement:

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’ll still be a part of the CNN family, hosting several Larry King specials on major national and international subjects.

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.

Sad, really. Who else is going to interview vapid whores like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and make it seem somewhat credible? On the bright side, he doesn’t have to adhere to the dress code and can wear those awesome leather jackets he loves so much. The staff probably also got tired of Larry icing them and tea bagging them when they fell asleep on the couch.

Seriously though. Larry looks like a goblin trying to fit in with the human race.
