“I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end Larry King Live, the nightly show, this fall and CNN has graciously accepted, giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids little league games,” he said.

This comes amid low ratings and family turmoil.
Larry and his wife of 11 years, Shawn, filed for divorce in April after news surfaced that they both had affairs. A few weeks later, the couple, who have two boys-- 10-year-old Cannon and 11-year-old Chance-- reconciled. RadarOnline.com was first to report that during Memorial Day weekend, the 50-year-old suffered from an overdose of prescription drugs at her home in Utah.

Like Johnny Carson, at some point you have to know when it's time to walk away. A quarter of a century on the air for any one show, is indeed a very good run.

What a bad example they set for their children. Both of them committed adultery! I hope their kids are taken away from them, especially since her overdose, she can't be trusted with them.

i can't state strongly enough how much i hate adultery, however, you really think kids should be taken away because of that? wow, think of how many families would have their children taken away.

Now that he has agreed to retire they don't have to resort to crazy measures to get publicity to save his show! They are probably relieved. I like Larry, tabloid stories don't befit him!
