Larry King ends his run on CNN

Larry King, ended his record-setting career as CNN's prime-time, talk-show host Thursday night with a serenade from Tony Bennett, a greeting from President Obama and a "Larry King Day" proclamation from California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In his overall 53 years in broadcasting, King amassed 50,000 interviews, 6,120 shows in CNN's archives, 10 Cable ACE Awards, an Emmy, a Peabody and an entry in the Guinness World Records for having the longest-running show with the same host in the same time slot.

I think that is a pretty crazy thing, to last 25 years on the same show in the show business. Even to last 25 years with the same employers in any career is an achievement for that person. But to last on a late night talk show for 25 years and always have good rating each year is outstanding. He will be missed by many, but I highly doubt that, will be his last TV show of his career.
