Larry King Announces His Retirement
Talk show host Larry King announced on Tuesday on the air that he will be retiring after 25 years. His show will be ending in the fall, and he said the reason for his retirement is that he would like to spend more time with his family. In a statement released before the show aired on Tuesday King said “I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end Larry King Live, the nightly show, this fall and CNN has graciously accepted, giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids’ little league games.” He has been having some trouble at home lately as he and wife filed for divorce back in April but have since gotten back together. His wife Shawn King also just recently made headlines when she overdosed and had to go to the hospital. Larry will continue to host several Larry King specials for CNN.
