VIDEO: Missing Actor Andrew Koenig’s Parents Walk Out On Larry King
Posted on Feb 25, 2010 @ 05:19AM
In a bizarre turn of events, Star Trek star Walter Koenig and his wife suddenly walked out on CNN’s Larry King Live Wednesday night, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
EXCLUSIVE: Last Known Letter From Missing Growing Pains Star
Walter and Judith Koenig were scheduled to make a public plea to help find their missing son Andrew Koenig, who played “Boner” on the 80s sitcom Growing Pains.
Breaking news involving The Toyota Congressional Hearings and the SeaWorld Whale Death appear to have squeezed time from the TV star and his wife. And with only 9 minutes remaining in the program, King promoted their appearance showing a live shot from a Vancouver, British Columbia studio where the couple was seated waiting to be interviewed.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Mom of Missing “Growing Pains” Actor Remains Stoic
After the commercial break with only 5 minutes remaining in the program, Larry came back on camera and said this:
“Actor Andrew Koenig, best known for his role in the series Growing Pains has been missing since February 14, Valentine’s Day. Vancouver police believe he may be in the area. Kirk Cameron who starred in Growing Pains has publicly urged Andrew to call him. Andrew’s parents, Walter and Judy, are in Vancouver helping police search for their son. Walter may be familiar to you; he played Chekov in the original Star Trek series.”
Instead of introducing the parents, King paused and told viewers, “ I’m told that they left the studio so we’ll take a quick break and find out why.”
After another commercial break, King returned and said he had no explanation for why the Koenigs suddenly left the studio.
“For some reason unbeknownst to anyone Walter Koenig, the father of the missing Andrew Koenig and Judy, the mother of the missing Andrew Koenig, left the studio in Vancouver. We checked them out, they were prepared to go on, I said hello, they both said hello, we said we’d be on in two minutes, they said fine and they got up and left for reasons unknown.”
An insider at Larry King Live told RadarOnline.com, “What I know is exactly what you saw and heard on our show.”
Andrew is still missing in Vancouver, anyone with information on his whereabouts should call the Vancouver Police Department 604-711-2534.

Sorry, but this was a contest of egos. Did the family of the trainer deserve any less time than the Koenigs do? How many people with missing loved ones even get the chance to spend 5 minutes on Larry King?

Larry probably got their son's name wrong.
Nevertheless, LKL should NEVER had made these parents wait the whole hour, then offer them 3 lousy stinkin minutes.

How strange! I wonder what happened.

There's a reason why Larry King is near the bottom of the ratings....HE'S HORRIBLE. Serioiusly it's time for this guy to step down.

They made a good move to get out while they could. Larry King is a terrible interviewer since he's really not all there. He often gets confused in his thoughts and forgets what he was talking about.

Larry King is a veteran and very good at what he does. Perhaps they were insulted that they were last. That most likely wasnt Larry's call or maybe they wanted to put them on last so the viewers would remember he's missing.

Larry may be a veteran, but he isn't very good. He interviewed Griffith O'neal and thought Farrah was his mother. He asked Sharon Tates sister about how she felt about Roman P. Killing Sharon...it was the mason family. This guy is horrible

Maybe they were unable to deal with it publicly.
