Last night's Larry King/Ryan Seacrest smoochfest didn't produce much news at all, but it did provide a very quick opportunity to dash that report of a week or so ago that RS was in discussions with CNN to replace Larry King one of these days.
Rumors which I sort of believe.
King was dutifully going over all the stuff Ry does on a daily basis, and then, this:
KING: You have your own TV production company. There were even rumors you were going to join CNN, which, we can tell viewers, there's nothing to that.
SEACREST: No, the only rumor is...
KING: So my question is...
SEACREST: ...we're having dinner Thursday. That's true.
KING: That's true.
SEACREST: All right.
KING: So my question is, when do you sleep?
["When do you sleep???!!!" Boy, that Larry King sure knows how to knock out those tough questions.]
My questions: Wouldn't you like to know what Ryan was going to say before LK cut him off? And why did they dispense with this in two seconds when LK had actually PROMOTED this very subject on air for the last few days?
I honestly think there is something to the rumors; CNN is absolutely thinking about an LK successor - that's a fact - and the network would be foolish to not have Seacrest on its radar. Whether you like him or not, the guy's a skillful live broadcaster who's quick on his feet.
And speaking of quick on his feet, here's a priceless exchange between LK and RS:
KING: Who will be the next "American Idol?"
SEACREST: David.
KING: Or can't you say?
SEACREST: David.
KING: Oh...
SEACREST: Guaranteed.
KING: And so you're going out on a limb here.
SEACREST: Guaranteed, David.

PROOF OF AMERICAN IDOL FRAUD!!!!
They Promised The Moon, The Stars, And Heaven Above. And just like Charlie Brown I got a rock.
As a songwriter who's parents were songwriters, like them I write because I love it. It's never been about the money. But when the NUMBER ONE SHOW ON TELEVISION says they're looking for some amateur to write the Next Great American Idol Finale Song. Wow! The first thing that crossed my mind was.....MILLIONS! Millions of people. Millions of cd's. Millions of dollars. Millions. I'm betting I'm not the only one.......of Millions.
This is the second year in a row that American Idol has had a songwriting contest. Since the contest ended last year I've researched the contestants from last year and this year....FYI there were over 25,000 entries last year at $10.00 for each song. 20 songs were then chosen out of the 25,000 for an online vote. The winner's song is then performed on the American Idol Finale. The problem I have is that one of THIS years Top 20 Songwriting Finalist is a Co-writer of LAST years Top 20 Songwriting Winner.
Somebody from American Idol has some explaining to do.
THERE IS A LOT, LOT, LOT MORE!!!!!
