Larry King, the longtime CNN talk show personality, announced on the air Tuesday that he will no longer be a part of the Larry King Live show after this season. King hosted the show since its inception in 1985.
Larry King came on air with a stern look and gave his statement about his departure.
“Before I start the show tonight, I want to share some personal news with you. Twenty-five years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of Larry King Live,” King said.
“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,” he announced.
King also noted his intention to spend more time with his family.
Larry King Live now holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for the longest running show with the same host. King commented on the issue, saying that he is “incredibly proud.”
King was inducted into the Radio Hall Of Fame for the accomplishments in his career in 1989. King was once quoted as saying, “I never think of access or good will. I just want a good interview. I want guests to be informative and entertaining. I’ve never been concerned about someone’s liking me tomorrow.”
King has also written multiple books surrounding his career, contacts, political views, and personal life. King’s real name is Lawrence Harvey Zeiger.
