Larry King is 74 years old, and while most men would be retired at that age, King just won’t have it. Sure, he’s looking more and more like Mr. Burns every day, but that’s not stopping him from doing his show on CNN until at least June, 2011.

There have been rumors that Katie Couric might replace King in his CNN primetime spot. She’s not exactly burning up the ratings charts doing the evening news, and I’m not sure why anyone would want to have her replace a ratings mainstay on their network, but the rumors existed non-the-less. CNN, however, has squashed them, saying that “Larry is the best there is. He’ll be here for a long time.”

TV Squad points out that there are a few signs that Mr. King might be losing touch with the modern world. Apparently over the last year or so he’s had some problems with things that a host should probably know, for example he didn’t know that Seinfeld had been cancelled when he interviewed Jerry Seinfeld last year. He accidentally called Ringo Starr “George” in a recent interview, and a couple of years ago he admitted that he’s never been on the Internet.
