NEW YORK -- Larry King says he's stepping down this fall
from the prime-time show that has anchored CNN's lineup for 25
years.
All manners of statesmen, newsmakers and Hollywood stars have sat across his desk for plain-spoken interviews during the past quarter-century, but "Larry King Live" has recently been
suffering in the ratings, and there's been speculation about his
future.
In a message via Twitter on Tuesday, King said, "It's time to hang up my nightly suspenders."
He says he will remain a part of the CNN family, hosting Larry King specials, but wants to spend more time with his wife and young children.
