I can't remember any particular interviews but did he always ask soft questions or something?  I am personally impressed with how he wore the same shirt and suspenders for 25 years.

Quote from: Huffingtonpost
Earlier Tuesday, the end-of-quarter ratings were released, and King saw his worst quarter ever in Q2 2010, averaging just 674,000 total viewers.

There's the reason.

He also commented on how its ironic...
Your father or Larry King?  Naming you Yazeed for that reason kind of explains some of the Saudi stereotypes...

I never understood the appeal of Larry King.

But then honestly I don't understand the appeal of most celebrity style news interviewers.

By comparison I always dug somebody like Charles Kuralt.

I was surprised to find out that he's only 67.

I or anybody else wouldn't consider that a young age, but criminey, he's got to be the oldest 67-year-old walking the face of the earth today.  I would have thought he was pushing 80.
this dude interviewed every single person you could ever imagine, but not one interview was ever interesting.  good job
it was agonizing watching his show when he'd have an interesting person on, perhaps somebody who rarely does interviews (like Clint Eastwood, lets say) and fails to ask them any sort of interesting question, or hell, anything that couldn't be answered by a dude with a wickipedia article of the same person.

i saw a second of an interview he did with Snoop Dogg (lol) a few weeks ago.  He shows a clip of Snoop's newest video, which creatively features expensive cars and chicks with fat asses.  King's question after the clip: "I've noticed a lot of music videos have nice cars in them.  What's up with that?"  and his follow-up was "Where do you keep all your cars?"  WTF

oh and he also commented that black people talk different than white people after noting that he could almost understand most of what snoop said.  amazing guy, that larry

I like the clip where Jerry Seinfeld is all over his shit for misstating how his show ended.

just might be the worst idea i've heard this month.

Honestly if they just need a vapid replacement, just go with Ryan Seacrest
