Veteran broadcaster Larry King has announced that he will be ending his nightly show on CNN in the autumn.

Over 25 years of the show, King, famous for wearing braces, has conducted more than 40,000 interviews.

Larry King Live recently made it into in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running show with the same host in the same time slot.

The news comes at a time of falling ratings for the show. King, 76, said he would spend more time with his family.

I am surprised that no one has commented on this... although the Tropics have taken priority.

Who you would replace Larry King with? I would choose Bob Costas.

You can't replace Larry King. Its rare to have a guy who sits down with people, asks all the right questions, delivers the news in a professional manner, and who btw, is an excellent read on twitter.
