Larry "The" King was spotted standing in line applying for
Unemployment Benefits on Friday and it's no wonder why.
<
He finally got shit-canned by CNN.
<
Okay, so he was The Great Larry King Live for more than 25 years but
things finally caught up with him. He was let go because his ratings
dramaticlly nosedived in recent years.
<
See, the only reason Larry was able to draw a  lot of viewers in the
early days is simply because he had NO competition.
<
People were sick of all of the nonsensical sit-com trash on the major
networks at 9 p.m., so the first Cable station made hay while the sun
-- I mean, the moon -- shined.
<
Larry, the rich but poor soul, so happened to be at the right place at
the right time.
<
For another thing, there was hardly anywhere else the celebs could go
to get publicity during prime time. So they all flocked to Larry King
and the waiting list was LONG.
<
It was great while it lasted -- for two decades
-- but then Larry's immense failings as an talk show host (an
investigative reporter, which he was supposed to be) caused his
downfall.
<
I mean, how much gushing can you do over celebrities while always
avoiding to ask the sensitive, hard-hitting questions.
<
How many times can you ask a Hollywood star how many times they fart
in church on a given Sunday?
<
Larry, you see, was a Puff Factory in every sense of the word,
<
Controversy, naturally, was despised. WHY rock the boat? Larry King
literally got away with murder for two decades, an insult to his
profession and to our intelligence.
<
All he was, really, was a  Big Bag of Wind who never did his homework.
His show, truly,
was the one you watched if you wanted to fall asleep, better even than
"Rock A-Bye Baby."
<
This sarcastic comment is written by someone who was totally ignored
by Larry King and CNN for MORE than 25 years . . . this very important
business concerning my discovery of petrified human remains between
coal veins, a monumental contribution to mankind's knowledge about
ourselves.
<
Let alone this business of Proof of Life After Death.
<
Larry King and CNN avoided -- like the Plague -- giving Ed Conrad ANY
air time, so millions of people would NOT know what the phonies of the
Pseudoscientific Establishment look like.
<
Larry King is gone and, for sure, he'll soon be forgotten.
