Larry King, on CNN, has announced his retirement and his show, after many years, is coming to an end. He will obviously have a lot of fans in South Africa because we did not have many TV channels when CNN launched, and then the first Gulf War kept many of us up till late at night watching the development of the war and becoming familiar with Larry King and all the people that he interviewed – as well as all the candidates who announced their election campaigns and running mates for the first time on his show. It is certainly not the influential programme it once was, but her certainly had a show to be proud of and with 7 or 8 wives, an interesting life altogether!
