Here are some things you might not know about CNN's Larry King.
He grew up in a poor family in Brooklyn. His nickname was "Zeke the Greek the mouthpiece," because of his talkative nature. His father died when he was nine. He married seven times to six women. When he was 65 years old, he discovered he had an adult son he did no know about.
King will explore these personal times in his autobiography, which is planned for publication next year, Weinstein Books announced. The book titled What am I Doing Here? promises to reveal his opinions on the major politicians he has interviewed, who he voted for and what happened with his wives.
The publisher billed the autobiography as King's "most personal and revealing work to date."
King will share his thoughts on George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon. The book will also reveal who King picks for the worst president in history.
Author and Esquire magazine writer Cal Fussman will assist King in writing the book. It is planned for publication around Father's Day 2009.

I hope he writes about borrowing $50.00 from Niel Rogers back in the 80s and never paid it back! He was a slimeball when in South Florida! Once a duck, always a duck!

... For my money, you won't find a better singer-songwriter than Boz Skaggs.
... There's nothing more refreshing than iced tea on a hot day.
... I like suspenders.
