Larry King is retiring from his show Larry King Live on CNN after 25 years on air.
King had Bill Maher on the show to help him explain his decision to step down.

After repeating his personal statement to his TV audience, King introduced Maher as an “old friend” who he invited on in light of his decision to retire. After a joke about his stepping in to replace him, King admitted that “this was tough, Bill. It was time, I was ready to do it. CNN folks agreed to it. We sat down, I’ll do specials, more time with the family. And I want to expand– I want to do other things I haven’t been able to do.”

Maher told King that, weird at is may seem given the length of King’s career, he feels “it is too soon” and frets, “I hope you’re doing this of your own volition, and not because of what the media says.” King confirms that, no, there was no pressure from CNN, and that the 25th Anniversary week featuring, among others, Lady Gaga, LeBron James, and Barack Obama made him consider retirement.

I’m gonna miss Larry I watch his show a lot, so I’m wondering who they will get to replace him…
personally I think it should be me…but I digress=)
Good luck Larry you will be missed!
