Steven Curtis Chapman on Larry King Live (CNN) Today
2008-08-07 06:08:00 Several friends have e-mailed me to let me know that Steven Curtis Chapman and possibly his family, will be on Larry King Live (CNN) today. As many will know, Steven’s adopted and youngest daughter, Maria Sue, was killed in a tragic accident on the family’s driveway on May 21, 2008. As they have walked through this shadow of death, they have shared it very publicly as well.  Steven’s well-known song “Cinderella” has been in the top ten, and now #1 for iTune’s Top Christian songs. And since Maria’s death, Steven added a new verse to his song “Yours” which is powerful and touching: I’ve walked the valley of death’s shadow So deep and dark that I could barely breathe I’ve had to let go of more than I could bear And questioned everything that I believe But still even here in this great darkness A comfort and hope come breaking through As I can say in life or death God we belong to you.

Larry King: As Predictable As Ex-Lax
2008-05-17 13:53:00 ?That?s why I?ll never work here. Breaking booty news ? that?s my background.? Ryan Seacrest to Larry King on why he'll never take over Larry's show permanently. Jacques Steinberg NYTCNN honcho Jon Klein's trying to quell rumors that CNN is: A) dumping Larry for Ryan or Katie. B) Moving ol' Lar out of the 9 p slot. Klein: "?Larry King Live? is one of the few appointment-viewing shows on television. It takes years and years to build that up.? ?As long as he continues to get the great bookings and the great ratings and maintains his passion for doing it, all of which he?s maintained, he?s there... He hoped Mr. Seacrest would continue to fill in for Mr. King ?from time to time,? but added that he had given no thought to a more permanent role for Mr. Seacrest at CNN. As to any interest he might have in Ms. Couric... ?She?s got a job at CBS. She?s got a contract over there.

Huff Post vid "Star's a great talent and she's suffering now."Overlooked in all the Babs book hype, how tough it was for her to succeed in the male-dominated TV news biz. I saw Tim Russert scratching the surface in a Babs interview last weekend. It's worth reading the Vanity Fair excerpt of "Audition." The Ted Baxter of ABC News, Harry Reasoner, was an a-hole from the get go. "The blood was so bad between us, however, that Harry?s cronies on the crew took to using a stopwatch to note my airtime. If I did a segment that ran three minutes and twenty-five seconds, Harry would demand that he do a piece three minutes and twenty-five seconds long. Harry?s hostility soon began to show on the air. I remember reaching toward him at the end of one broadcast, in a friendly manner, just to touch him on the arm. He recoiled, physically recoiled, in front of millions of people. The media picked up on the bad chemistry....

King Pinged
2008-05-01 14:27:00 "It may take a crowbar to pry King off CNN's stage. For starters, the network just extended his contract another two years to June, 2011. And at 74, despite painful moments of cluelessness with even borderline-hip guests, King still draws some of CNN's strongest numbers." Gail Shister TV Newser in a Q&A with dumped CNN ego Aaron Brown on the beach until now with a new PBS Tee Vee show. He didn't need the dough. CNN paid Brown for doing nothing while his contract ran out. "After collecting his $1.8 million-a-year CNN salary for not working from November 2005 until his contract expired last July, he wasn't looking for a full-time gig." Brown sticking it to CNN on Larry: "I love Larry. If Larry wants to work at CNN until he's 110, I'm there." It ain't your call, bud... Brown also tells Shister he likes Keith Olbermann.

Zennie's Question For Senator Clinton and Larry King
2008-04-22 02:36:00 I made this question because Senator Hillary Clinton's supposed to appear on the Larry King Show this evening and with no Barack Obama in sight. I am concerned that Larry will ask her softball questions, so I'm asking about her scheduled testimony as a witness in the upcoming Paul v. Clinton trial and if Larry can tell all of us that he is or is not a Clinton backer and if not, how does he explain the video going around that has him as attending one of her lunch events when she was running for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the Late Pat Mohinhan?

Katie Couric: Bye, Bye Miss American Pie
2008-04-11 13:18:00 The New York Times follows up on yesterday's WSJ's musings about Katie Couric's CBS News demise. Apparently the rumors of her death weren't greatly exaggerated and the rumors greased the skids for her exit:Bill Carter & Jacques Steinberg NYT: The discussion took place in New York on Feb. 28 and involved four people: Ms. Couric; her agent, Alan Berger of the Creative Artists Agency; Sean McManus, the president of CBS News; and Leslie Moonves, the chairman of CBS. The meeting took place in Mr. Moonves?s office. The conversation included what one participant said was some ?idle talk and musings? about the big question hanging over CBS News: should Ms. Couric leave her position as the news anchor after the presidential election, a development that had long been rumored.No one involved in the meeting or briefed on its particulars would be identified for attribution because of the delicate nature of the talks.

CBS isn't happy with the ratings cellar dweller, either. The evidence? A tete a tete between Miz Katie and CNN boss Jon Klein. "They had lunch in late January, and the anchor attended Mr. Klein's birthday party in March... "Larry King is a great talent who consistently delivers the highest profile guests, and we have no plans to make a change." Through a publicist, Mr. King declined to comment.Everyone's in the denial mode: In a statement yesterday, a "CBS Evening News" spokeswoman said, "We are very proud of the 'CBS Evening News,' particularly our political coverage, and we have no plans for any changes regarding Katie or the broadcast."

Larry King Ejected from Little League Game
2008-04-03 23:33:00 Geriatric talk show host Larry King was thrown out of his son’s Little League baseball game on March 10th according to reports out of Beverly Hills. “[Mr. King] was making a fool out of himself as a manager on the field, talking in the middle of the field in the middle of plays,? reported a source close to the action. According to this source, Mr. King was told by the umpire in question to “regroup? and calm himself, and he did not respond well to this. Rather, the informant said, he continued arguing and was then relegated to the bleachers, where he continued to make noise, and was finally forced to watch the game from the outfield’s periphery. Sounds like Larry was tougher with the Little League umps than he has been with any guest that has ever appeared on his talk show on CNN.

Larry King Flips His Wig
2008-04-02 19:29:00 Cranky farty pants and professional background dancer Larry King couldn?t keep his emotions in check at his son?s Little League game ? so he was thrown out. Or maybe he wasn?t. Differing accounts of King?s behavior during Chance Armstrong King?s March baseball game confirm that he was given a ?talking to? by the umpire, but whether he erupted after being told to ?regroup? and calm down, and was forced off the field and behind the fences after refusing to, isn?t clear. JossipI had nothing to do with the snarky Jossip item above. In the interest of full disclosure I was Larry's syndicated radio show news anchor in 1979-80. I never knew him to fart in public. But that was before his heart attack and new diet of Egg Beaters, berries, nuts, tree bark, whatever, that some gleefully gossiped prompted CNN to install a fan under his desk after guests complained. The New York Observer "Larry Pitches Fit" story had some glaring goofs. "Young Chance is the son of Mr. King, 74, and his sixth wi...

Remembering Larry and making media that diversify collective memory
2008-03-06 21:10:00 February 12th is a date permanently etched in my brain and should be on the collective memory of North America. On this date, nearly one month ago, eighth grader Lawrence King was shot in the head by fellow fourteen year old student Brandon David McInerney in the middle of a class lab. King, an incredibly courageous openly queer fifteen year old, had asked McInerney to be his valentine. He was murdered for being queer and it is a story that the media in America had nearly ignored until Ellen Degeneres gave her sombre monologue on the incident on her show just over a week ago. Degeneres told her audience that being gay does not make you a second class citizen, that neither King nor herself were second class citizens. And, barely able to control her emotions, she warned of a culture that sends the message if you?re gay you?ll be murdered. Queer sites, advocacy groups and activists have reported and commented on this story, filling in for a complacent and heteronormative corporate news...
