Not one to sit still very long, he observes that he is busier now than before he left the anchor desk. Since he wrapped his last show on December 16, 2010, King has announced his multi- market comedy tour “Larry Standing UP,” become the franchise owner and spokesperson for the Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. in his hometown of Beverly Hills, CA, and undertaken the job of introducing All-Natural BreathGemz Breath Freshener to the world. With his wife Shawn, he is starring in a series of lighthearted TV and radio spots, making personal appearances and doing media interviews on behalf of the product for which he has taken a vested interest as spokesman and now company partner. It marks King’s first national product endorsement subsequent to leaving the anchor role. King’s CNN’s Larry King Live , was a landmark show for cable television and one of the most talked-about talk shows on television. It turned the man who could be tough political interrogator, celebrity interviewer, curious inquirer, and heartfelt champion into a global superstar. With the first worldwide phone-in television talk show—CNN’s highest-rated program—King was dubbed “the most remarkable talk-show host on TV ever” by TV Guide and “master of the mike” by TIME magazine. Larry King Live debuted on CNN in June 1985 with its famous mix of celebrity interviews, political debates and topical discussions. When King made the transition from his successful national radio talk show to cable, he helped define the future of cable news programming and CNN. Telecast each weeknight at 9 p.m. (ET), the program featured phone calls and e-mails from viewers around the world. In June 1994, King created the first daily radio/TV talk show by simulcasting CNN’s Larry King Live on Mutual/Westwood One radio stations nationwide. (more) King has been asking famous people questions throughout his 50-year career, having accumulated more than 50,000 interviews, including every U.S. president since the Ford administration. King’s famed NAFTA debate between Al Gore and Ross Perot in 1993 broke cable industry ratings records (outside of the first night of Gulf War coverage) and obtained the highest rating in CNN history reaching more than 16.3 million viewers. In 1995, King showcased his extraordinary skill in international diplomacy when he hosted a historic hour on the Middle East Peace process with PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, King Hussein of Jordan and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. King’s award-winning jailhouse interviews include convicted murderers Sante Kimes and her son, Kenneth; Karla Faye Tucker, the first woman to be executed in Texas; and Mike Tyson. After Hurricane Katrina hit the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005, Larry King Live broadcasted for 20 consecutive nights with more than 250 guests, including the three-hour network special “How You Can Help.” During the 2003 Iraq invasion, King hosted live shows for 29 consecutive nights with guests including Gens. Richard Myers and Hugh Shelton, Queen Noor of Jordan and ambassadors from Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Syria and Turkey to name a few. After the Sept. 11 attacks, King interviewed more than 700 guests, including more than 35 world leaders and dignitaries. In 2000, King’s 37 consecutive days of political coverage during the election recount in Florida featured 348 guests, including George W.
