Larry King
From OAPedia.com
Larry King is a talk show host on CNN who is often goofed on by Opie and Anthony for his seeming incompetence as an interviewer and his general ignorance of modern times. For example, he once introduced Mötley Crüe as "the Mötley Crüe", and also asked interviewee Roseanne Barr if the internet was "viable" as a political medium and admitted to having never searched on the internet. He is known for asking softball questions to his interview subjects, such as when he interviewed John Mark Karr and barely confronted him about admitting to murdering Jon Benét Ramsey, and asking ridiculous questions, such as when he asked professional skateboarder Jake Brown "How important is the board?". When interviewing a woman who was raped by kidnapper Phillip Garrido, King was more interested in what happened to the food left in the woman's car. Anthony's impression of him often includes mentions of Garlique and Welch's Grape Juice, products that King endorses.
On June 29, 2010 it was announced that Larry King Live was going off the air. Finally.
