A loooong time ago, when I was going to college and working nights as a janitor, I used to listen to Larry King on the radio as I drove home from work early in the morning. This was back in the early 80′s, and I enjoyed King’s interview style at the time. Back then, he was a good interviewer with a compelling radio voice.

Like many famous media folks, Larry King committed the unpardonable sin of sticking around far too long. He long ago became a parody of himself. Where he used to ask the penetrating questions, he instead now asked the silly, stupid, and inane ones. It seemed as if he gave up caring years ago and was only sticking around because the money was ridiculous.

The funniest thing to come out of Larry King’s show in the last decade or more was this skewering of King by Jerry Seinfeld.
