In his chat with wizened television shaman Larry King Wednesday, professional sadster and glib racist Morrissey discussed his battle with depression and offered what King says “could be considered a controversial take on the act of suicide.” Hmm, yes: “It’s admirable” could be considered a controversial thing to say about suicide. Very astute observations all around, gentlemen.

It was only a few months ago that Larry King was angling to get his old job back, but the ancient soothsayer is now telling interviewers that he dodged a bullet.

Prehistoric fertility god and former CNN host Larry King is bringing his current show, Tales from the Cryptkeeper, to Russia Today, and adding another show, Politics With Larry King, to the Kremlin-funded cable news and YouTube channel. "I would rather ask questions to people in positions of power, instead of speaking on their behalf," King says in the promo spot.

Legendary broadcast journalist Larry King made a startling announcement on CNN Presents: A Larry King Special: Dinner with the Kings. The announcement was about his death:

Fifteen year-old Larry King (no relation to the CNN interviewer) was shot twice in the back of the head by his classmate Brandon McInerney while sitting in school in Oxnard, California. Now that McInerney is on trial, the boy's legal team and the school administration are using the tried and true "he was asking for it" defense. This is totally disgusting.

Gentleman's Quarterly magazine, aka "GQ", recently sat down with milliongenarian TV personality and budding stand-up comic Larry King to ask him some weird 'n' wacky questions. They even played Fuck Marry Kill with some of King's CNN colleagues. And his answers were sexy.

The murder trial has begun for Brandon McInerney, a high school student from Oxnard, California, who three years ago walked into computer class, sat behind openly gay classmate Larry King, and shot him twice in the back of the head. Opening statements from both sides offered new details about that senseless and horrific case.

In your finally Friday media column: Greta Van Susteren stands up for Sarah Palin, the NYT vs. HuffPo Twitter traffic war, an excellent history of The National, Conde Nast must have its own air, and Larry King comments on penises.

Since retiring from his CNN show in December, cuddly curmudgeon Larry King has written a book, embarked on a stand-up comedy tour, and even hawked breath mints, so it was no surprise that he found the time to show up on the panel of last night's Real Time with Bill Maher. And in true old-man style, King had one immediate, pressing question for Maher: Why is your studio so damn cold?!

Ever since Larry King departed CNN, the talk show legend has had a hard time finding things to fill his time—which is probably why he (and wife Shawn) agreed to shill for BreathGemz in this classically cheesy infomercial. [AdAge]

On his show tonight, Conan O'Brien announced that he really missed Larry King. His solution? Allow King to host a show from, as the CNN legend put it, the "creepy rafters" above O'Brien's studio. Alas, it didn't take long for both men to get annoyed by the other's presence.

Jersey Shore jackanape The Situation was resoundingly booed at Comedy Central's roast of Donald Trump. However, most of his jokes were too tasteless and lousy to make it to air. What ended up on the cutting room floor?

Anyone who's been following the Larry King/Piers Morgan drama over the past several weeks knows that, post-takeover, King hasn't exactly been kind to Morgan in interviews. Namely, King thinks CNN "oversold" a non-dangerous Morgan. Tonight, Morgan called King out.

At long last young twentysomethings are getting a work of art all about them. Naturally MTV is the network to bravely take up the mantle. Also today: some truly scary movie casting, some somewhat less scary TV casting, and a discussion of the work of Chris Columbus.

Former CNN celebrity profiler Larry King was interviewed by BBC Radio 4, and he had a few things to say about his replacement at CNN, Piers Morgan! King started out with this: "I don't want to be horrible about him, I think he's a fine broadcaster" — which roughly translates to "this guy is an obnoxious prick, but he's got a good television voice, I guess." King goes on about the guy he once said he didn't know:

After taking over Craig Ferguson's desk during an interview last week, this second instance of Larry King taking over the interview process has sealed our decision—Larry officially misses his show. Inside, fun with Conan and Shaun!

Conan O'Brien welcomed Larry King tonight for quite the eclectic chat. The highlight, though, was King's story of how Ryan Seacrest changed his fashion style. In fact, every pair of jeans that King wears is sent to him by Seacrest!

During his interview on the Late Late Show, Larry turned the tables on Craig Ferguson by pretty much daring him to be the interviewer instead. Aw, Larry, you shouldn't have ever left your post!

Piers Morgan has scored Oprah as his first guest when he replaces Larry King on CNN. People might actually watch now.

Last night, Conan's new holiday decorations were revealed. The decorator? None other than Kenny Erwin Jr. He brought a new look to the show including: Godzilla with a candy cane, a Larry King shrine, and a giant Christmas chicken sandwich!
