LARRY KING: 8 MARRIAGES AND A COUPLE OF HEART ATTACKS BARELY PUT A DENT IN THE GUY

Hats off to Larry King. The guy is older than Barney Rubble’s grandfather, but he still lives large. If eight marriages and  life-threatening heart problems can’t take you down, then you, my friend, are made of titanium.

I hardly ever watch the guy’s program- make that never- but I am aware of his stature as a kingpin interviewer of the rich, famous, powerful, or any combination of the three. If it moves or shakes, it’s been interrogated by Larry King.

Larry has never been afraid of the limelight, so he is probably well prepared for the fallout from his latest marital problems.

He is embroiled in a newsworthy marital spat that includes allegations of infidelity from both parties.

Somewhere in America, a couple of guys named Tiger and Jesse are very grateful for Larry King and his lovely bride.

 

Larry married a much younger woman in the time-honored May- December (with lots of money) sense of romance and almost made it work for about twelve years. And this is the point where my unbridled admiration for Larry King kicks into the equation.

The guy has undergone quintuple bypass heart surgery- a long time ago. He followed up this cardiac adventure with a series of heart issues including an operation earlier this year. Somehow he managed to find the time to get involved with his wife’s younger sister despite a full plate of bad health and an over-70 birth certificate.

It may be difficult to give Larry an endorsement for ethics, but he gets an A plus for stamina in this messy soap opera. The golden years have been very golden for Larry and he has answered the bell for romance, even if it’s been at the wrong door.

So here’s to you Larry King. You may be on the edge of moral bankruptcy, but you are a stallion.

BILLI:""Is it just me, but I always bundle King, Flint and Hefner in one sack. Though Flints demise came a little sooner than the others, I have to ponder something said to me once. Sex makes you live longer and keeps you healthy. That why the English live so long.......they're just horny."
