Ryan Seacrest to Replace Larry King on CNN?
Whispers inside CNN say
American Idol host
Ryan Seacrest has the inside track to replace
Larry King on the network's nightly talkfest.
MSNBC reports Seacrest, who has subbed for King on numerous occasions, is in "serious negotiations" and could replace King by year's end.
Last year, King, who has hosted
Larry King Live (Weeknights at 9 pm/ET, CNN) since 1985, told the
New York Times that when he decides to step down, Seacrest would be the perfect replacement. "He's the classic generalist," King told the paper. "The only thing I don't know...is how versed he is in politics."
Seacrest's reps had no comment on the story, and CNN said there is no truth to the report. -
