After watching his interview questions become more intrusive and less compassionate (especially the one that he just did with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr), in my humble opinion, Larry King should consider passing the microphone over to a younger, more sensitive, and in touch with the times individual, and just go out there and enjoy the fruits of his long and illustrious career as the legend the man is and will always remain.
What do YOU think?

No. I didn't think he did that bad. I think it was a fair question to ask Paul McCartney. I mean, there are so many worse questions he could have asked. He could have brought up the question of why McCartney wanted to change the song writing credits of Beatle songs on his last live album to "McCartney & Lennon". He could have ask why McCartney was not happy with the new mix for "Hey Jude". I think Larry did ok. He could have brought why Paul dubbed in Ringo's drum part on "Back in the USSR" when Ringo quit for a few days. Ringo was never asked to put the drums on even when he returned. These would have been doubly bad having Yoko and Ringo right beside him. Larry may have been having an off night. I watch Larry King almost every night and he is still on top of his game. You have to remember who he was interviewing too: Paul and Ringo don't often give interviews together--not to mention having Yoko and Olivia there too. That could be intimidating for anyone. Larry did good.

The news is slowly changing as ratings become more important. The change is consumer driven because of profits. Thus, we have mob mentality concerning the news.
Larry King is a symptom of a bigger sickness. Suddenly in America, gossip is front page news demanding attention in prime time.
I think Larry king should retire along with all of the others. But before this happens, we must change our viewing habits. I do not watch any of his interviews.

Most of the time, when someone is being intrusive, they are just asking questions that everybody wants to hear the anwser to anyway! When you are in the public eye, you better get ready for your life to be an open book, because there is no way that youre gonna be able to stay away from the press.....thats part of the reason they get paid so much. If you wanna pay me millions of dollars a year, you can watch me do whatever you want. People only think it is intrusive if you go against the worlds views. The world itself is evil, it is part of our nature, and part of our fall from grace. If you started blasting Rosie O Donnell for being gay and asking personal questions about her home life, people would jump all over you....The fact that I think that she is a slob and is going to hell is irrelevant. Ann Coulter catches too much flak if you ask me, and thats what she does, she asks the questions that need anwsering.

Thats Larry style. He has always been more intrusive than compassionate. I think he is doing a great job!

No. He always seems to get the most information out of people. I like that he is INSENSITIVE. It is more real that way, like the celebrities can't work their way around his questions. I think it's good... people shouldn't just be cast-out because they are older. Intrusive is good. He asks different questions than the lame one that the "celebrity gossip" magazines/shows ask.

I feel he does a good job and even if he leaves someone would have to do better than he did. Honestly I do not see a better person coming along so soon. Check out Katy Couric with her evenning news it sucks now thank to her.

He can definitely retire. The background on the show is so old and boring too. That alone makes me not even want to watch it.

I think he is waiting for Andy Rooney to go first.
