Larry (and Shawn) King Live
"Ever wonder what dinner-table conversation between Larry King and wife No. 7, country singer Shawn Southwick-King, is like?" asks an Intelligencer item in this week's New York, and the funny is, we have wondered. More than once. Perhaps it's the simple fact she's his seventh wife, perhaps it's the 26-year age difference between them, perhaps it's that he's a cranky old Jew and she's a pert young Mormon. But we've often wondered what the hell they talk about. Thankfully, red-carpet reporter Jada Yuan finally provides the answer: intelligent design!
Larry: I know the world is more than 5,000 years old. I mean, that's ridiculous.
Shawn: Don't say ridiculous!
Larry: Honey, they ve found bones 3 million years old. It s insane.
Shawn: But don't call other people's beliefs ridiculous.
Larry: I'm gonna hit her. How's this? The thought that the world is only 5,000 years old is hard to conceive.
Shawn: There you go!
Larry: Now, could there have been intelligent design? Could be. Then we could also say, who designed the intelligent designer?
Shawn: All good questions, Larry, but impossible —
Larry: — to answer? I'm in the answer business!
Shawn: All right, put all of the pieces of a clock into a bag, shake it, and expect it to come out working. That's the big-bang theory.
Larry: But if I shook it up, and it worked, that would not be intelligent, that would be random.
Shawn: Yeah ...
Larry: So if intelligent design designed this, who designed the designer?
Shawn: A designer!
Larry: I'm saving my arguments for the Supreme Court.
See, isn't it cute when Larry threatens to beat his wife?
