os Angeles, California (CNN) -- Larry King, the iconic TV interviewer, will step aside from hosting of his prime time CNN show later this year, he said Tuesday.

King, 76, made the announcement with a short posting to his Twitter account, citing his desire to spend more time with his wife and young children.

"I want to share some personal news with you. 25 years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of Larry King Live. Now, decades later, I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end Larry King Live, the nightly show, this fall and CNN has graciously accepted, giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids' little league games," King wrote.

YAY!!!

The more good news there is to watch, the better for the nation. Hopefully they will replace him with someone who doesn't talk to celebrities half the time. That's Letterman and Leno's job.

Wow, I wonder who CNN will find to fill his suspenders.

He numbers were declining anyway. I pretty sure that told he had to go, but gave him the respect to say he wants to step down.

 

[Mr. McMac]

Good riddance. I was never a fan

 

[jaw04005]

My bets on Ryan Seacrest as his replacement.

Won't miss him and his 'hard-hitting' wiffle ball questions.

 

[Abstract]

Now they're going to have to find another guy named Larry King to continue hosting.

Larry King was on for 25 years and it looked like he died 15 years ago.

Adding 'hello' to the beginning of your statement doesn't strengthen your assertion at all.

It makes you look like an airhead. Plain and simple.

 

[Surely]

Larry, I'm back in the race!

I never had a problem with him. Perhaps some of you youngins dont have respect for the older generation?

I think it was time. Poor guy.

So what's next? "Larry King Live: Hosted by [INSERT NAME]"?

If hes leaving, why would it still be called "Larry King live" ? 🙄

For the same reason there used to be a restaurant near my home called "Jan's Classic Pizza" which was actually owned by a man named Robert haha

EDIT: No, there is no reason for it to still be called "Larry King Live"

I was never a big larry king fan, but man he stayed on like 5 to 10 years too long. The man is older then dirt and its been showing for years now.

This is not sarcasm: I heard that Pierce Morgan might take his spot. I may watch that for the first few episodes. Edit: here's a link
