Larry King's Reign Is Over; All Hail Piers Morgan (5 Facts on the New Host)
By J. Richard - AOL News(Dec. 17) -- Piers Morgan has some big shoes to fill when he takes over for talk show legend Larry King next month, but the 45-year-old TV personality from Britain has an impressive resume of his own. A staple of CNN's evening lineup for over 25 years, King ended his run on "Larry King Live" last night with tens of thousands interviews under his belt. Will Morgan -- whose new show, "Piers Morgan Tonight," is set to premiere in mid-January -- be as prolific? Only time -- lots of time -- will tell. John W.

CNN's Larry King Exits After 25 Years
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Dec. 16) -- Marking the occasion with bright red suspenders, Larry King pulled the curtain down on his CNN talk show on Thursday after 25 years. King, 77, said this summer he would leave. Once the dominant voice on cable television news, King has faded in a sea of sharp talkers. British talk-show host and "America's Got Talent" judge Piers Morgan takes over the 9 p.m. Eastern time slot in January. "Good evening, and welcome to the last 'Larry King Live,'" he said as the show opened Thursday. "It's hard to say that. I knew this day was coming. These words are not easy to say." He ...
Watch Out, Sarah Palin: Barbara Bush Is the Original Mama Grizzly

And she finally has said something that a lot of Republicans – not to mention Democrats and independents – have been thinking about Sarah Palin.

And I think she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there." The former first lady's sentiment touched a nerve in tea party circles on Monday. On Glenn Beck's radio show, he hinted that her remark was ...
Barbara Bush Hopes Palin Stays in Alaska
By Lauren Frayer - AOL News
(Nov. 21) – Asked what she thinks about Sarah Palin, the matriarch of the Bush family responded with characteristic diplomacy. "I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful," Barbara Bush told CNN's Larry King. "And she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there." The 85-year-old former first lady chuckled and smiled at her subtle sarcasm. Her comments come as Palin, former Alaska governor, revealed this week that she's considering a 2012 run for the White House, and said believes she could beat President Barack Obama. Bush and her husband, former President George ...
Larry King Gives a Porta-Potty to Jon Stewart for Mall Rally
By Mara Gay - AOL News(Oct. 21) -- Larry King has gifted a portable toilet to Comedy Central host Jon Stewart for his upcoming Rally to Restore Sanity on the National Mall in Washington. Stewart received the unusual gift on CNN's "Larry King Live" Wednesday night, after King noted that there had been some question about whether the organizers of the Oct. 30 Comedy Central event -- meant to poke fun at conservative pundit Glenn Beck's recent Rally to Restore Honor -- would be able to obtain enough portable toilets for its anticipated thousands of participants. Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that ...

A Reminder: Larry King Once Ruled Cable News
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(June 30) -- His ratings aren't what they used to be and many critics dismiss him as a dinosaur in the new-media age, but there's no denying Larry King's remarkable broadcasting legacy. He's been on the air so long that much of his audience might not remember when an appearance on King's program could -- and did -- change the course of American politics. King, 76, announced Tuesday night he'll soon leave the nightly CNN talk show he's hosted for a quarter of a century. When it began, "Larry King Live" offered a unique cable news platform for office-holders and office-seekers. Fox News and ...
