RIP: Larry King

I remember when Ted Turner plucked this guy from obscurity…I never heard of him. Made Larry a big deal interviewer guy. His show was usually something my old man listened to on long drives because he either was sick of our music or he wanted to torture us. I guess what Turner did worked, David Letterman made Larry the butt of numerous jokes and he was one of the earliest celebrity voices on The Simpsons, a great episode written by Nell Scovell too. I think Larry was the first one to be himself since Danny DeVito and Penny Mashall were characters.

Thanks for the memories Larry and being a good sport.
