Larry King hanging up talk-show suspenders Published: Wednesday, June 30, 2010

NEW YORK (AP) — CNN is preparing for a summertime search to find the successor to Larry King, who announced suddenly that he's leaving the show that has been the centerpiece of the news network's lineup for 25 years.
Even though the host is changing, CNN will keep to the idea of a provocative interview show with newsmakers, CNN U.S. President Jon Klein said.
"Nobody else does it," he said. "It's an important tool in the arsenal, and we want to keep it going."
King's announcement Tuesday came a couple of weeks after he celebrated his 25th anniversary with a week of shows interviewing President Barack Obama, LeBron James, Bill Gates and Lady Gaga — precisely the unique blend of stars and statesmen he considered the signature of "Larry King Live."
King said he will continue to do occasional specials for CNN after stepping down in the fall. He was already lobbying for guests for his final week on Tuesday, extracting a promise to appear from ABC's Diane Sawyer when she called in to his show to congratulate him.
The longtime radio host was a pioneer in cable television. From the first show, on which he interviewed then-New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, King's desk was considered a valued spot for anyone interested in talking to the nation. King's interview style was plainspoken, and critics would suggest occasionally ill-prepared, but he was good at making his guests feel comfortable.
Klein said King was a pioneer.
"He lured so many people to this new frontier of cable back before anybody understood what it was all about," said Klein, who called King a "living, breathing Hall of Famer who is still doing the work."
As cable news audiences gravitated toward politically pointed shows and newsmakers found many more outlets for interviews in recent years, King slipped in the ratings behind Fox News Channel and MSNBC — two networks that didn't exist when he first turned on his TV microphone. During his interview with Lady Gaga, the 76-year-old broadcast veteran had people wondering if he was really connecting with a pop star a half-century his junior.
King said he felt no pressure from CNN to leave. He said he began thinking about stepping down as a plane flew him home to Los Angeles from Akron, Ohio, where he interviewed James, and he reflected on his big-name guests of the week.
"I said, 'I can't top this,'" King recalled in an interview Tuesday.
"I'm tired of the nightly grind," he said. "I do want to do other things, but I want to stay at CNN in some way ... . There's a case of great mixed emotions."
King told his staff Tuesday during a conference call he referred to as "one of the saddest 10 minutes of my life."
CNN is in the midst of remaking its prime-time lineup and last week announced that former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and conservative columnist Kathleen Parker would co-host an 8 p.m. EDT show on politics and current events.
CBS News anchor Katie Couric has long been considered a potential successor to King. That talk has cooled lately with suggestions that Couric may be reluctant to take responsibility for another network with ratings troubles; Klein would not discuss specific candidates. Recent published reports have suggested that "America's Got Talent" judge Piers Morgan could be a candidate. King said if it were up to him, "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest would be the best choice to fill his shoes.
King estimated he's conducted 50,000 interviews during a 53-year broadcasting career. He said he always tried to ask short questions and to never come in with an agenda, leaving his ego at the door.
"I never learned a thing while I was talking," he said. "That would be my motto."
King got some sympathy from comic Bill Maher, invited as a guest on "Larry King Live" on Tuesday specifically to be there on the night of the announcement.
"I heard people say Larry didn't understand Lady Gaga," Maher said. "Who understands Lady Gaga?"
King dismissed a series of stories this spring questioning his future and speculating about possible successors.
"You can't worry about things you can't control," he said. "I can't control if a newspaper is going to speculate about something or if a blog is going to speculate ... . If I let it get me, I'll go nuts. So what I try to do, and I'm not being morbid, I just try to do the best show I can. If it works, it works."
King said he was able to see the baseball all-star games of his sons this weekend. If it was during the week, he'd miss them.
"I'm never going to see these again," he said. "They're not going to repeat themselves. They're 11 and 10. They're not going to be 11 and 10 again."
Besides work with CNN, King said he'd be interested in working in comedy.
Maher said on the show that, speaking for a lot of people in America, "I will miss you terribly at this hour."

Hurricane Alex grows more powerful, threatens Mexico, Texas coasts Published: Thursday, July 01, 2010

MATAMOROS, Mexico — The first Atlantic hurricane of the year grew to a powerful Category 2 storm as it neared Mexico's Gulf Coast and south Texas on Wednesday, whipping up high waves that frustrated oil-spill cleanup efforts and delivered tar balls and globs of crude onto already soiled beaches.
Winds from Hurricane Alex strengthened to 100 mph, with heavy rains that flooded roads and forced thousands of people to evacuate fishing villages.
Braving horizontal sheets of rain, Mexican marines went door-to-door in the small fishing community of Playa Bagdad, trying to evacuate villagers from rickety wooden shacks. At least 50 people were easily persuaded to board buses to shelters, but holdouts could be seen peeking through windows.
"We're worried it's going to come hard," said Macedonia Villegas as she and her son readied their house before leaving with the marines. Surf pounded the nearby shore, and a lagoon swelled behind her home.
Emergency-preparedness workers also planned to evacuate 2,500 people from coastal areas east of Matamoros, said Civil Protection Director Saul Hernandez, who added that he was most concerned about 13,000 families in low-lying areas where there are few public utilities or city services.
The storm was far from the Gulf oil spill, but cleanup vessels were sidelined by the hurricane's ripple effects. Six-foot waves churned up by the hurricane splattered beaches in Louisiana, Alabama and Florida with oil and tar balls.
The National Hurricane Center predicted the hurricane's eye would make landfall in northeastern Mexico sometime Wednesday night.
It was the first June hurricane in the Atlantic since 1995, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla.
Bands of heavy rains quickly inundated roads in Matamoros, a worrisome sign with Alex expected to dump as much as 12 inches of rain in the region, with perhaps 20 inches in isolated areas. The flat, marshy region is prone to flooding.
Alex spawned two tornadoes around Brownsville, including one that flipped over a trailer. No injuries were reported.
Officials also closed the causeway to South Padre Island, a popular vacation getaway off the Texas coast.
Flash floods also forced hundreds of evacuations in the southern Mexican states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, but hurricane specialist Eric Blake said those rains were only indirectly related to Alex and possibly the residual effects of Hurricane Darby, which has dissipated in the Pacific.
Three people, including a 5-year-old child, were killed when heavy rains and winds brought down a wall over their wooden house in Acapulco, state Civil Protection authorities said.
Texas also watched Alex's outer bands warily. Alex was expected to bring torrential rains to a Rio Grande delta region that is ill suited — economically and geographically — to handle it.
Texas residents had been preparing for the storm for days, readying their homes and businesses and stocking up on household essentials. But concerns eased as the storm headed farther south toward Mexico.
Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos said Brownsville and surrounding areas had "dodged a potentially violent storm," though flooding was still a worry. At least 70 residents had already taken shelter at a Brownsville high school.
Engineers were watching the levees in south Texas as the storm approached the area.
On nearby South Padre Island, the mood was less anxious. Although hotels and restaurants looked deserted compared to the crush of vacationers who normally pack the popular vacation spot in the summer, those who stuck around didn't size up Alex as much of a threat.
One couple renewed their wedding vows on the beach as a few campers reluctantly moved their trailers out of the park hours before a mandatory evacuation deadline.
"It's June. It's too soon for hurricanes," said Gloria Santos, of Edinburgh, after hitching her trailer back to her truck.
Jerry Wilson, 50, also didn't think much of Alex, though he struggled in the fierce gusts to hoist a cloth-tipped pole to clean high-mounted cameras across the island that will let Internet viewers watch Alex's arrival live online.
"We got two generators and lots of guns and ammo, so we're not worried about it," Wilson said.
Scientists in Texas were also monitoring a buoy system that records the Gulf's water directions and velocity every half-hour. That information will determine where the oil could spread, should it approach Texas as tar balls on the beach, said Texas land commissioner Jerry Patterson.
Oil rigs and platforms in the path of the storm's outer bands were evacuated, and President Barack Obama issued a pre-emptive federal disaster declaration for southern Texas counties late Tuesday.
The three oil rigs and 28 platforms evacuated are not part of the Gulf oil spill response.
In Louisiana, the storm pushed an oil patch toward Grand Isle and uninhabited Elmer's Island, dumping tar balls as big as apples on the beach. Cleanup workers were kept at bay by pouring rain and lightning that zigzagged across the dark sky. Boom lining the beach had been tossed about, and it couldn't be put back in place until the weather cleared.
"The sad thing is that it's been about three weeks since we had any big oil come in here," marine science technician Michael Malone said. "With this weather, we lost all the progress we made."
Associated Press Writers Paul J. Weber in Brownsville, Texas and Mary Foster and Tom Breen in Grand Isle, La., contributed to this report.

NEW YORK (AP) — Drake is postponing his 10-city European tour because his mother is undergoing surgery.
The 23-year-old rapper says in a statement that he wants to support his mother during her recovery "just as she supported me through the years."
The statement doesn't say what kind of surgery Drake's mother is going to have.
The European leg of his "The Away From Home Tour" had been scheduled to kick off Friday in Norway. It will be rescheduled for November.
Drake will still tour in his home country of Canada, starting July 16 in Ottawa.
Last month, Drake released his first full-length album, the gold-selling "Thank Me Later."
