Now come on. I know that math is my worst subject. But, how can Larry King have had over 40,000 interviews? If he did one a day every day 365 days a year, it would still take over 100 years to accomplish.

Or, maybe if he sees soneone in the store and says, "Hi, how are you?" and they say, "OK". then that counts as an interview??????

OK what if he does like 4 or 5 interviews in an hour (I saw that last Sat where he had like 6 different guests each plugging a book in the hour) or has a panel of experts?

Also he did a radio show for years before he started on CNN. I remember coming home from stuff after midnight and he would be on some AM station.

40,000 interviews is reasonable and remember all of them were just as bad as the first. Larry King is THE WORST interviewer on tv next to Jay Leno

Yah. I remember how much time I spent trying to figure out the Wilt Chamberlain thing, too. I mean, how many of them were the same person twice, and does that count?

Not sure. I guess this issue is in line with "if you slept with person 'A' several years back and then sleep with them again years later does this count as a new partner (and every partner they've ever had Wink )?"

Oh, and I concur with Hogwanguy....Suspenderman bites.

I'm going to disagree with this. I think Larry is far and away a worse interviewer than Jay. I think Jay's cat would do a better job than LK.

Larry King is like 800 years old or something. So, sure it's possible.

Shocked Oh. I did not think about that. And, being 1004 myself, I guess
then this could be the answer.

PS: What if he interviewed someone with multiple personality disorder?
Would he get extra points?

PSS: And, what if he interviewed someone from this forum. Would he also get extra points for their socks? Laughing

Larry Klein is the King of interviewers (... I wonder if he's related to Carol Klein, the singer/songwriter?) Rolling Eyes
