Ryan Seacrest may take over for Larry King
May 8th, 2008 by Dave Hanson
A CNN source says Ryan Seacrest, who has filled in for Larry King in the past, is involved in “serious negotiations” to take over “Larry King Live” around year’s end. King told New York Times in April 2007 that Seacrest would be his first choice.
With Seacrest on course to cover 40% of the nation’s airwaves by the time TV goes digital in ‘09, a source close to the entertainer says it’s only a matter of time until Seacrest’s house is turned into a TV studio and his waking hours are broken into compartmentalized pods which are divvied up to the various networks. According to the source, “Breakfast With Seacrest will be on Food Network. His workout will be Running With Ryan on ESPN. Social engagements will be used as segments in the Larry King Show. Afternoons will be devoted to PBS’ Rascally’ Ryan and the Loopy Lion. You’ll know he needs a vacation when the Travel Channel announces Two If By Seacrest. Bringing it full circle will be Cinemax’s Sleeping With Seacrest.” Seacrest was unavailable for comment because he was auditioning to replace Vince Scully as the voice of the LA Dodgers yesterday afternoon.
