Larry King Gets Relief Soft-Baller

CNN has hired Bob Costas to substitute for Larry King. There is speculation that King and CNN (or vice-versa) may be looking for a replacement. However, Jon Klein, CNN bigwig, denies that they would even think about replacing a 71-year-old media fixture with a 53-year-old punslinger.

Well, maybe, but I doubt we'll ever see a program permanently hosted by Bob Costas where somebody else's name is in the show's title.
