Larry King Will Do Stand Up Comedy Now


One morning before taping an interview with Dolly Parton, Larry King is at his table at the Regency on Park Avenue, eating his usual, Cheerios and a burnt corn muffin. Former police commissioner Bill Bratton stops by to say hello, as does former Clinton adviser Vernon Jordan and the former head of the William Morris agency, once King’s agent, plus a guy trying to raise money for a knish business. (King can relate: He’s got a bagel store opening in Los Angeles.) King’s in his element. He loves being an insider. But if you look around the Regency, it’s hard not to notice that this room is full of last acts, people whose biggest achievements may well be behind them. And December 16 is the final edition of Larry King Live on CNN.
