Larry King talks about Ryan

X17 talked to Larry King about Ryan taking over from him on CNN.

“He’d be my suggestion. I’m a close friend of his. He’s in Paris now. I spoke to him yesterday; did his show in the morning yesterday. It’s almost not objective because he’s one of my favourite people.”

Larry went on to question Ryan’s interest in politics, saying he could have a difficult time doing the show if he’s not interested. If Ryan’s interest in politics is there, he’s Larry’s number one recommendation.

In this second video, Larry said he doesn’t think it’s going to happen, but he’d like it to.

“I hope he does because I think he’s terrific.”

In an interview with Extra TV, Larry said, “I love Ryan. He’s very intelligent, but I need to have a fiery political discussion with him first.” Regardless of Ryan’s interest in being Larry’s successor, that would definitely be entertaining!
