  • This is like asking who would replace Johnny Carson. It's not happening.  Nobody will replace Larry King. Just like nobody replaced Johnny Carson. Everyone else is worlds apart.

  • Piers Morgan suks the big one.

    Joy Behar would have been the best pick, if she stopped the comic poop, and just did a real serious show with serious interviews like Larry King.

  • Tavis Smiley should have gotten that show. 

  • I like Jeff Probst

  • Cenk/Beck 2012

  • @mrafaeldie That would turn out to be a much worse vice-presidential choice than Palin was.

  • Lady GaGa ratings would quadruple compared to Bill Maher!

  • Take the show off the air. It's terrible.

  • Jesus Christ.

  • Put Bill Mahar on there, the ratings would go through the roof! Joey Bahar, Katie Couric or anyone else would make the show TANK worse than Larry King did....Hell, DON KING could do better than Larry King!!!!

  • Put Bill Mahar on there, the ratings would go through the roof! Joey Bahar, Katie Couric or anyone else would make the show TANK worse than Larry King did....Hell, DON KING could do better than Larry King!!!!

  • Please sell the show to FOX NEWS and give the show to Bill O'Reilly! The ratings would go through the roof. If they choose Ryan Seacrest or Katie Couric, it will again go right in the TANK.....Put Bill Mahar on there, if you want Leftist watchers. He would actually make the ratings go through the ROOF!

  • hot new LINDSAY LOHAN song by ZEENIE TOWN! it kicks azzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kal penn! He works in the white house and he knows pop culture! And hes Indian! :D

  • "MIKE ROE" from Dirty Job's should replace Larry King!! ( Mike has great energy, wit & humor. He's also smart & young enough )! Plus like Larry, Mike has that "Radio Voice"! Sign Him CNN!

  • Clifford Banes!

    I have yet to see any footage of Mr Banes that would preclude him from taking over from Larry King.

  • Mel Gibson of course playing with prank calls with bad language

  • Ron Paul would be great!! But he is needed in Congress. God bless Ron Paul.

  • Piers Morgan is a great interviewer;good job cnn!

  • the guy that does the old spice commercials should replace Larry King, "Hello ladies, look at your man, now back at me. In my hand I have two tickets to that thing you love."

  • The way CNN is going to the right it may be Stephen Baldwin or perhaps Chuck Norris. Norris can kick the crap out of anyone who disagrees with him.

  • BILL MAHER

    but then again hbo is the only station that has the balls to have someone who actually says what he thinks.

  • It will be a progressive jew.

  • George Will

  • Cenk Uygur should

  • It's always sunny in philadelphia...?

  • That other guy reminds me of Kenneth Fulk from Liar Liar lol 

  • Jon Stewart should succeed Larry King, so Stephen Colbert can finally move to 11pm! Everybody wins!!!

  • Tavis Smiley would be great...but he'd turn it down

  • Lebron James

  • Anderson Cooper, seems like a logical choice.

  • @TheOBAMATRON:

    I´m a humorous person, but when it comes to serious business I don´t feel like fooling around. The mainstream media in America have never been to critical, but what happened under Bush was unprecedented:

    I DO remember how but the faintest criticism about destruction of civil rights through "Patriot" Act, the unlawful and fraudulent war in Iraq (excused with 911), torture being reintroduced and so forth were considered TREASON and how all the big media bowed to that like cowards!

  • @ TheOBAMATRON:

    Whats your problem, dude? What I said is correct. DO you have the brain of Sarah Palin? I did not say that anywhere, but if you believe this is the case then develop yourself. Glen Beck is a sadistic madman. I wonder where things will go with him, but I know from seeing him I cannot expect much from him. But I DID expect more from the American press under Bush. They turned a blind eye on EVERYTHING. Stop daydreaming! Pepsi? Wtf?!? What are your even talking about?

  • Cenk or Anderson Cooper... same thing

  • fuck all those people...give it to cenk

  • I loved when Ventura hosted. I really enjoyed that show.

  • @ TheOBAMATRON:

    Don´t ask suggestive questions, caugh up facts if you have them (I doubt it).

    TYT WAS a sensation - in a America where ALL the established media networks crawled up the ass of the criminal Bush-administration. While TYT stood up bravely. And asked all the questions others OUGHT to have been asking!

    So don´t complain if the others failed, being the disgusting cowards they were. No one would have preferred TYT´s show in these "lousy" settings, had CNN and so forth done their job!

  • The show has been successful for how many years? Larry should have a big say in who is picked.

  • Tavis Smiley? I can tell you it won't be him. His ebonic accent is not mainstream enough. Bad call.

  • Max Headroom.

  • Anderson Cooper AINEC

  • "find someone who might be black"

    That statement is so retarded. I really can't stand the mentality of people who think in those terms.

    It's like saying "find someone who has ginger curly hair, we don't have enough of those people"

    Why??? The mind boggles!

  • That show needs some young blood...how about the crypt keeper?

  • I think TYT needs to add one more person and that is Brian Unger.

  • Cenk or Oprah should repalce Larry King

  • @TheOBAMATRON:

    Oh really? Where did TYT "begin with money" as you put it? I dont recall being bombarded with ads in the recent 150-or-so TYT-clips I watched. So where is the "money"? Keep your feet on the ground and don´t lose contact with reality, Obamatron! Basically all TV-stations advertise. I have no problem with TYT doing that, also. With a show so known for their independent, critical mind however I just think they ought to be REALLY careful not to ruin their profile!!!

  • thumbs if you think OPRAH should do it!!!

  • I think Michael Steele would be a great choice to replace Larry King. He could very instantly become the “Arsenio Hall” of politics.

  • @ TheOBAMATRON:

    I respect TYT for its cleverness, good heart and authenticity.

    The latter however being jeopardized if they start to lie for money.

    Obama was the better choice than McCain and Hockeymum.

    So if you complain about Obama, go to the Republicans and ask them why they cant come up with ANY decent candidates!

  • @flyingmagiccarpet hey they gotta pay rent too.....id rather give my money to tyt cause they keeps it real unlike those a-holes on TV that lie to us all the time....

    and anna is hot

  • Anderson Cooper = Hell yes

    Ryan Seacrest = Fuck no

  • couric or cooper please :-))

  • Cenk Uygur needs to move more into the national spotlight. He's ready.

  • tavis smiley

  • dave chappelle. Thumbs up if you agree

  • Conan O'Brien

  • @asdfxyz1 no rush is the only ass hole that could fill those toilet shit shoes

  • christiane amanpour

  • A rock should replace him. It's more interesting watching moss grow than this hack

  • how about, jerry seinfeld

  • @CORNHEAD69 i did post jewwy jewstein 1st.... but it did not post

  • how about, Jewwey Jewstein.

  • katie couric would be a disaster.

  • The Netflix-Ad sucks.

    So is TYT starting to whore for money, like all the other guys?

    Sucks.

  • @flyingmagiccarpet

    Your going pay their bills?

  • @ RebelHQ:

    They need money to run their show, alright.

    But they could avoid pretending to be awesome fans of -whats the name of this- Netflix?

    I just hate fake "testimonials" on TV. That IS whoring. Period.

  • Who Should Replace Larry King? Pee Wee Herman!!

  • BEN STEIN THE LIVING ZOMBIE CREATIONIST LIVE ON CNN.

    No, actually Ana Kasparian would own.

  • "Diamond" David Lee Roth.

  • "A non-Caucasian"? A NATION OF MORONS!!!!!!

    What do you expect from a progressive....

  • @ManUtdiszbest These bastards really hate white people and can't even seem to suppress their hatred. That clown wants someone to be hired because of their race. I thought hiring because of race was supposed to be a racist act. I also thought race was not real and Caucasians,Negros and mongoloids did not even exist. More double speak and double think from the nitwits at TYT.

  • Governor Arnold after his term runs up. How AWESOME would that be? He could be all "Let off some steam Mr. President!" And end every show with GET TO DA CHOPPA!

  • Jayar Jackson Live on CNN?

  • Well, Ryan Seacrest is out of the question in my opinion.

  • I'm watching you right now on MSNBC Cenk, you sexy son of a bitch...

  • Joy Behar, hands down. She's the only person with the same level of character, and she's actually a fantastic interviewer.

  • My vote is on Anderson Cooper.

  • Brian Unger is so smart and so clear, why are doofuses like Larry King on-air?

  • Rodney King......can't we all just get along.

  • Rush Limbaugh

  • CENK UYGUR LIVE!!!!

  • Larry King = Highlander

  • MORGAN FREEMAN!!!!!

  • @dragonicmonkey7 That would be awesome!

  • @LifeUntilLove It would indeed.

  • Lee Doran should take it

  • Who gives a damn who replaces Larry King? Has anybody checked his and CNN ratings lately? CNN's ratings are so low they cannot even charge enough for advertising to pay their overhead.----CNN's rating are so very bad they have dropped below the other basement dweller MSNBC. Both of these news networks are getting pounded in the rating's during prime time by TV Land's "Andy Griffith Show". No I will not mention the "F" word....but these are the facts according to The USA Today.

  • @biskitlee Larry King Live is the all time longest running nationally syndicated show with the same host, which means that a hell of a lot of people care, and have for a very long time. Your dim witted conservative agenda attempt to influence the national dialogue over the reputation of what you perceive to be the "liberal" news networks is poorly veiled, by the way.

  • @LeLimeLine ROFL. CNN Libera? Good one.

  • rick sanchez!

  • The obvious replacement would be the crypt keeper.

  • Cenk should replace Larry King!!!

  • Charlie Rose

    

  • Conan!

  • Ana should replace Larry King: She's smart, sexy, and young.

  • Ryan Seacrest = The nail in the coffin of CNN

  • anderson cooper

  • The reason not to use Piers Morgan is because he's an objectionable human being not because he isn't qualified. If you spent 30 seconds on Wikipedia you'd have found that he is one of the most successful editors of one of the worlds biggest daily newspapers (he also edited the worlds best selling English language Sunday paper) and has a TV show in the UK where he interviews both celebrities and politicians as well as being experienced on air. Dropped the ball on this one guys.

  • Ryan Seacrest and Piers Morgan?! Seriously? How are either of those two even remotely qualified to host a primetime cable news show?

  • Too bad Dan Rather is dead or he could have taken the job.

  • @LibertyRadical Er...Dan Rather is very much alive.

  • @LibertyRadical Dan Rather is still alive.

  • yes of course - pick a black guy. cenk is a racist who hates white america.

  • hate Ryan Seacrest sooooo much

  • Tavis Smiley would be a great fit. Maybe Charlie Rose?

  • Seinfeld moment at 1:31: "We need a name. Give us a name."

  • -anderson cooper .. woot woot ,.lmao

  • @frictionRx5 I honestly believe you're secretly attracted to cenk...

    ...Or, you are cenk

  • This guy is such a liberal idiot : find a black guy! Of course. Patronizing and wishy washy simpleton. Why not just find the most exciting person? I would take Joy Behar for example, but dont pick a guy cause he is black or hispanic. When will the liberals wake up?

  • @nightfevers well if they hire a black or latin person, who are by nature more comical and lively, wouldn't that make what you wrote a done deal?

  • Ana is PERFECT for this job!

  • Why's not Cenk mentioned. He's RAW energy, charisma and intelligence combined!

    Go CENK!

  • I think you have to look at larry kings demographic... old folks right? i can't say i have every watched a larry king interview anybody else in the 18-38 age range watch larry king regularly

  • The best choice would be Howard Stern .

  • Tavis Smiley?...i dont think so, after his inane rants against the Obama's during the campaign, CNN would be wise to give him a wide berth.

  • since I could never stand larry king, I really dont give a shit who takes over

  • I'd Say Anderson Cooper is the best choice or maybe John King.

  • No one will replace Larry King. TV is dead.

  • Jayar!

  • Get Katie Couric to ask people some serious tough questions. What do you read?

  • Piers Morgan?! I really hope not.

  • CNN signs contract with Piers Morgan

  • JONATHAN ROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Give Ryan Seacrest a shot. Because he's already got a talk show, so he's a proven success.

    *Hearing something in imaginary earpiece*

    I'm sorry, I'm being told his show was canceled a long time ago.

    *Hearing more*

    And it was terrible.

    *Hearing more*

    And it lasted 6 months.

  • They should search for a softball player - that's all Larry King ever did was throw softballs.

  • CNN and other cable news outlets will never give an evening slot to a person of color. Hell, CNN have an awesome weekend anchor (Don Lemon) who is grossly underused. Don Lemon or Tavis Smiley would be perfect choices. But, I don't see it happening. Ryan Seacrest or Piers Morgan would probably get the job.

  • TYT should replace Larry King.

  • You can like or don't like Piers Morgan but Cenk and the other isn't entirely correct in their assesment of him. As americans they only know him through Americas Got Talent and maybe Britains Got Talent, but Piers Morgan has a talkshow on ITV in the UK, where he among others has interviewed the british PM Gordon Brown. Whether he is the right choice in substituting Larry King can be argued, but that he has the experience can't.

  • @mugge333 He also asks the exact same kind of softball questions that Larry King does on his show. He's the same kind of interviewer.

  • Please not Piers Morgan, oh God pleeeeease. He is what English people call a smarmy cunt.

  • i think they should retire the show with larry king

  • Piers Morgan... NOT THAT DICKHEAD! MAN he's easy to hate. I HATE PIERS MORGAN!

  • Whoaaa, flash to the Daily Show anchors of the past. What about Connie Chung?

  • LMAO reading these comments are hilarious. CENK should replace larry and leave TYT to Ana and her pals. I am cumming for you ANA.

  • @AlvaroAndfriends Cenk replace Larry? No, he's not qualified. Alex Jones would make an excellent host, and he would bring in more interesting people, who would explain why 9-11 was an inside job.

  • Tavist, man he is a whitey hater, bigtime

  • Tavis smiley has a voice of a kid and talks like a precher so no thanks. I suggest Laurence Fishburne, his acting career is kinda over, he pretty much act liek a zombie nowadays, the fire is gone. I think he would do good as Larrys replacement though. Yes I know he doesn't have a diploma in journalism. But what teh heck, try him.

  • Noone can replace Larry.

  • Glenn Beck.

    Maybe then, someone might actually watch CNN again.

  • jessie ventura

  • Larry King was so fucking boring. i am glad he is going ...... have a hot chick in his place.

  • Anderson cooper!!

  • Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh would be good; Sarah Palin would be a great choice too. This is CNN, though, so you'll probably get some trashy leftist like Behar or Maher who will have "prostitutes to the stars" and atheist propagandists on. Why should the host be black? The host should be fair, balanced and competent.

  • @ChristianMission

    Sarah Palin? yeah, good idea! 'cause thats the best way to keep her away from politics. Glenn Beck? yeah, someone with nazi-tourett syndrom.... "... like the nazis! like the nazis!"

    I don't say you can't believe what you're believing in but lets agree that these people don't really fit the spot of the show

  • @ChristianMission So you're not looking so much for news as you are psychotic bullshit?

    Tavis Smiley would be perfect for the job of replacing Larry King. Behar would be horrible I think even though I happen to like her, I just don't enjoy her show all that much and Bill Maher wouldn't leave HBO anyway.

  • Dude ...did you forget Oprah ....she count's 100 on her own ....

  • Ana Kasparian Live on CNN. Make it happen.

  • @goku01899 Ana handles CNN while Cenk does MSNBC

  • @goku01899 TYT Army assemble!!! We must make it happen!

  • A barrel might be good. Maybe a plant?

  • i agree tavis smiley is a good choice!

  • Anderson Cooper would be cool but like others have said Tavis Smiley would be awesome, so underrated

  • way to make it a racial issue brian!!!

    It will be a crime against humanity if the next host is a dreaded 'caucasian male'!!

    Now that you've had your little janeane garofalo moment, please leave and never come back

  • @nobamalivonia. The young Turks were the group who went agains the ottoman empire before ww2. I think the name can be applied to any group of people who are progressive. You don't have to actually be Turkish

  • Stephen Baldwin. ...... just kidding..:)

  • Conan?

  • Who should replace Larry Kjng? Larry King's stuffed corpse, turned in to a animated puppet. Voice by Gilbert Godfrey. Or Seinfeld. Or one of those other funny jews.

  • howard stern.

  • who should replace larry king? definitely not your bitch ass cenk, they want more ratings to compete with fox not less.

  • I was trying to figure out where I've seen Brian Unger before for the longest time. I've finally found my answer ... the Daily Show! Hopefully this helps anyone else out there who was suffering from this curse.

  • I say there is nobody better for this job than Ryan Seacrest

  • Glenn Beck!!!!.

    n yes im trollin

  • How about Dick Cheney. His charm is infectious and he still thinks he is the President. Or if you want someone black how about Samuel Jackson "say what again mutha f**ka, Do they speak English in What". Or if a woman I think Lindsey Lohan would be perfect

  • ok. the thing is, is that just because hes black or because hes latino now he gets a leg up over someone who is more fit for the job. its happening all over america where your promoted based not on the work you do but becasue of the color of your skin. I know i'm gonna get negatives for this and people are going to say i'm racist, but i'm not. I'm asian myself and I think jobs should go to the most qualified person, not becasue of your gender or skin color.

  • @Cap1108 Hiring based on ethnicity rather than qualification is called affirmative action. And you're totally right. So many idiots think someone is racist just for saying minorities shouldn't be treated better than everyone else. The masses are asses. Logic is far too undervalued in our society.

  • I think that shows format is stupid, and should die out with larry king

  • Rush Limbaugh in a dress. Maximize his entertainment value
