Final episode of Larry King on CNN tonight

Then, at the end of June, King suddenly announced he was retiring from his show -- a weeknight fixture at 9PM EST since June 1, 1985. He told viewers, "It's time to hang up my nightly suspenders."

After Thursday's edition, King will indeed hang it up, suspenders and all.

The lineup for this farewell hour should be stellar, though no names have been announced. The mood should be spirited and flowing with emotion.

But until now, it's been an oddly subdued leave-taking. The promotion machine at a network can make noise over most anything. Or try. CNN isn't bothering. Having paid King his tribute last June, before he even said he would be stepping down, CNN now is treating him as a lame-duck star, a chapter the network is rushing to move past.

He's done some good interviews but is also guilty of filling up an entire hour with bullshit celebrity trial news and such. His show is where I first saw Dr. Phil, who I like and think that his book "Self Matters" is a good non-political gateway to libertarianism for the masses.

Is this a farewell show from back when he was alive?
