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.

Larry King’s wife Shawn overdosed on pills in her Prove Utah home on May 28. Her father Karl Engemann had gone to the home to meet Shawn and then the two were going to a meeting, that is when he found her unresponsive. He called 911 and said to the operator “I can’t wake her up,” and that “She may have overmedicated.” He also told the operator “I don’t think she did it on purpose. Last night she seemed confused about what she had taken, the last time she had taken it.” As far as what pills Shawn may have taken he was unsure he believed she was on medication to help her with her anxiety and depression. Shawn has had an addiction to pills before she went to rehab in 2008. Her and Larry have been going through a hard time lately. The couple filed for divorce on April 14 but have decided to stay together. In a statement responding to the overdose reports King said “I am extremely supportive of Shawn. Reports that we have fought are absolutely false. I love her dearly.” Our marriage is still together and I am staying very close to our children, who we love immensely. We shall go through this difficult time intact as a family.”
