Deposing Larry King?
March 17, 2006 -- Is Larry King getting too old?

Without warning, a series of news reports have popped up this week questioning King's "frail" health, memory and value to CNN.

The news network has been quick to call the reports bunk.

(snip)

It began last Sunday with a story posted on an L.A. show-biz blog that "Hollywood insiders" were gossiping about King's "increasingly frail" health.

To drive home the point, it noted an interview in which he asked Jerry Seinfeld the same question twice. "You're not listening to me, Larry," Seinfeld scolded.

Another story, published Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal, cited King's decreasing audience, his older demographics (bad for advertisers) and his "interest" in celebrities and crime as being out-of-whack with CNN's prime-time emphasis.

7. LK is Unwatchable. Last week he had Donald Trump on.
To me they are the two most repulsive,"semi-celebrities", EVER!
Why is CNN still hanging on to that old Dinosaur?

8. I used to watch his show when he had political people on.
Hell, I even watched when the topic was all OJ! But I'm just not a fan of Hollywood gossip, and that seems to be all he does anymore. Sorry Larry, but even though I'm in your demographic, I don't watch you anymore!
