Larry King, the suspendered elder statesman of CNN known for his softball interviews and his drama-filled married life, has announced that he will be ending his 25 year old interview talk show Larry King Live in the Fall. King began last night’s episode of his show by making the announcement that he would be hanging up his iconic suspenders in retirement in just a few months bringing to a close the end of an era at CNN:

Broadcast veteran Larry King announced on Tuesday that he would be ending his nightly “Larry King Live” show on CNN this coming autumn after 25 years on television. King, 76, said in a statement he would still host specials for CNN on major events, but wanted to spend more time with his wife and young children. Known for his non-confrontational style and for wearing colored suspenders, King has interviewed a broad array of guests from Hollywood stars to politicians and athletes. “With this chapter closing I’m looking forward to the future and what my next chapter will bring, but for now it’s time to hang up my nightly suspenders,” King told viewers on Tuesday night’s show. “Larry King Live” recently made the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest running show with the same host in the same time slot. King and his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick, called off their plans to divorce in May and reunited.

To be honest, I’ve personally felt it’s been time for Larry King to end his show for a few years now. I’ve not been particularly impressed with his interviews for quite some time now … and even when he gets a great guest on the show, he never EVER presses them for the hard questions that I’m always hoping to hear. I will say that over the course of his 25 years, Larry King has made a place for himself in popular culture and overall, he will be missed. And tho it’s technically not a Peace the Spork Out situation, I thought it would be appropriate to bust out the spork to say peace out to his show. Considering the marital woes he’s endured with his wife, I think it’s a great idea for him to step down so he can spend more time with his family (besides, I suspect his wife prolly insisted he retire so that they can work on their relationship). The questions becomes, tho … who will take his place? Do any of y’all have any ideas/suggestions?

A contrite and power blue-clad Chris Brown paid a visit to the CNN studio here in SoCal last week to tape an interview for the Larry King Live show which is set to air this coming Wednesday September 2. With his crying mother, Joyce Hawkins, and his pitbull lawyer, Mark Garagos, by his side, Brown talks with Larry King about the heinous crime of assault that he has been punished for and his plans for a crime-free life ahead. Here are a couple photos from his upcoming appearance on the show along with some preview deets about the interview itself:

He looks so young. And he is. At 20, Chris Brown is not old enough to buy a beer without breaking the law. But he got himself into a world of legal trouble when he assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna in February. “We have to be like 10 yards away from each other,” Brown softly tells CNN’s Larry King in an exclusive interview to air Wednesday night – his first television interview since his arrest. Brown still loves Rihanna. He tells King he’s still in love with her. Even tougher for him is looking at the photo. You know the one—the image that might haunt, and define Brown forever. “When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened.” He adds he does not remember performing the violent acts that have changed his life. Yet Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22. The deal keeps him out of jail. A second felony charge, making criminal threats, was dropped. He was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labor. What does it mean? “It means he walks the straight and narrow for five years,” Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos tells King. “I’ve grown to love this kid like a son or a nephew. I have a high degree of confidence — I’ll say it now so that you can play it back if he ever does anything — but a high degree of confidence that he’s not going to do anything like this in the future.” Brown agrees, saying “everything comes with consequences. They want me to pick up trash remove graffiti.” He calls the sentence fair. “I’m a hard worker. It’s something I’m willing to do.” Why did it happen? How did it happen? They are questions Brown and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, have been asking. “Chris has never, ever been a violent person, ever,” Hawkins tells King.

While Brown‘s mother insists that her son was “never, ever … a violent person” she goes on to explain to King (and, of course, the viewing audience) that Brown‘s father was the abusive one, clearly in an attempt to shift the blame of Brown‘s actions? After the jump, read on and judge for yourselves …
