Larry King Live has been on the air for as long as I can remember, and for most of my life, Larry King’s particular brand of television interview has been on the air.  The show’s been going on for 25 years, which means Larry’s gone through a whole lot of pairs of suspenders in that time.  Now, according to the 76-year-old King himself, it’s time to wrap it up, with Larry King Live to end its 25-year run on CNN in the fall.

Larry’s reason for ending the show?  A desire to spend more time with his family and an attempt to reconcile with his 50-year-old wife, Shawn, after some reported marital issues on both sides.  “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,” said King in his trademark self-deprecating style.

Here’s hoping for a good life outside of TV for Larry (who will continue to host and produce specials for CNN).  And hopefully, he won’t hang up his suspenders for good, since he needs them to keep his pants off the ground.  No matter what you might say about his personal life or his trademark style, he had some great interviews in his time.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
