Larry King is still adjusting to his new life off camera.
“There are days, when you have a terrible thing, like Japan happening, Libya, the events in Egypt, you want to be there,” the talk show legend told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Thursday’s Access Hollywood Live.
“The Kardashians, you could miss that one,” he continued.
As for his replacement, Piers Morgan, King has mixed emotions about his successor’s show.
“It’s like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley,” he said of CNN’s replacement show, “Piers Morgan Tonight.”
King is not dwelling on the past though, in fact, he’s already talking to Jon Stewart about possibly appearing on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
“Jon Stewart called me — I don’t know if I’m a correspondent — he said, ‘How would you like to be on like every two weeks?’” King told Bush and Hoover. “I’d do my old column. I used to write for USA Today, where I gave extemporaneous thoughts just as they occurred.”
King has also been keeping busy with his sons’ little league games — at least, when he’s not being kicked out of them!
“I got thrown out of a game once,” King said. “I said [to the umpire,] ‘You’re a bum!’ And this is a little league umpire working for 20 dollars a game. It wasn’t the kindest thing to do, but he missed the call.
“He told me go back to CNN. And Beverly Hills Little Leagues, they are strict! When they throw you out, you have to leave the premises. You have to leave the field. I had to go out to La Cienega Boulevard and sit in the car,” he continued. “Then you’re banned for the next game, you’re banned. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘I’m a world figure, I’m seen in 226 countries, I’ve interviewed leaders of all kinds and I’m sitting in a fakakta car outside a little league ballpark banned by an umpire’… what a career builder!”
