CNN planning life after Larry (Hilarious Quote Inside)

NY POST ^

Larry King's contract with CNN is set to expire in 18 months -- and the cable network's chiefs are busy lining up his successor in case he retires.

King, 75, has been interviewing celebrities since 1985. Sources say CNN's first choice to succeed him would be Ryan Seacrest -- but his massive deal with "American Idol" makes him too expensive. Other contenders are CBS anchor Katie Couric, CNN "video wall guy" John King and Joy Behar, who is launching her own interview show on CNN's Headline News.

LOL!! Check it out below.............. King's spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, said, "Larry has the full intention of continuing in the job he loves, and he's very confident about the future." A CNN rep said: "Larry is at the top of his game. He gets the best newsmakers of anyone on television, and his ratings lead over MSNBC's [Rachel] Maddow has never been wider."

So which will expire first...the contract....or Larry?

[ConservativeMan55]

So I guess beating Rachel Maddow is the standard?

I think Larry expired years ago.

I didn’t even know he was still on the air until I came across this article.

My favorite thing about Larry King is the way he provides over-the top rave quotes about decidedly mediocre crap.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL is that photoshopped?

I don’t think so. He got caught in a ‘bit of a breeze’. LOL!
