Should this be a new regular feature?

(And yes, I realize I made some critical typos in my previous IotD, putting me in the running to be a future winner.)

I have never cared for Larry King. I think his “interviews” are crap. He asks puff questions and almost never asks follow-up questions. He gets a wide variety of celebrities on his show because they know he will not embarass them.

Although he apparently did come close with the Paris Hilton interview. This walking mound of air who gives a new definition to the term “dumb blonde” said that she read the Bible every day in prison. King asked her for her favorite passage from the Bible and she was unable to come up with anything.

Anyway, King just hosted a Beatles reunion of sorts. Paul, Ringo (whom he called “George”), Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. The reason was to pimp the first anniversary of the Cirque du Soleil Beatles show in Vegas. The full transcript can be found here. An excerpt:

KING: Do you guys, frankly, pinch yourselves?

(LAUGHTER)

KING: I mean, do you — do you get up in the morning and say, jeez?

MCCARTNEY: I pinch him.

STARR: Yes, yes.

KING: No, I mean — you know what I mean?

MCCARTNEY: In the morning.

STARR: And I pinch him.

MCCARTNEY: And he pinches me.

KING: It’s getting risky.

STARR: But (INAUDIBLE)…

MCCARTNEY: Yes, well, we’re risky kind of guys. STARR: Anyway, no…

MCCARTNEY: … Even on national television. We just don’t care.

KING: (LAUGHTER).

STARR: It’s got…

MCCARTNEY: Come on, pinch.

(CROSSTALK)

STARR: … Once a day, otherwise it gets…

MCCARTNEY: I mean that’s my pinch for the day.

STARR: Tell him. He wants to know. Tell him.

MCCARTNEY: Well, Larry, you know what? It is true, of course, we do.

and another …..

KING: Let’s get to something current. How are you doing, Ringo?

STARR: Really well.

KING: Life treating you well?

STARR: You know, life is great.

KING: Everything good, the wife good?

STARR: The wife is great.

KING: The wife is gorgeous, too.

STARR: She’s gorgeous and she’s great.

KING: And you live in California, right?

STARR: No, I live in Monte Carlo.

KING: Oh.

STARR: I have a home in California.

KING: I knew that.

STARR: And I have a home in England, of course, but, that’s where we live.

KING: With the swells.

STARR: Yes.

KING: And Paul, how are you adjusting to what was tumultuous times?
