Larry King Gives Way to… Ryan Seacrest?

Ryan Seacrest is in talks with CNN to replace Larry King, according to sources close to Seacrest.

The source, however, also says, “I don’t think it’s going to happen,” writes Fishbowl LA.

Seacrest is currently host of E! News, American Idol and a popular KIIS-FM radio show. He is also a producer. But could he fill King’s suspenders? The source points out, “He’s known for his work with celebrities, but he came up through mass radio. He could pull it off.”
