Thanks for being with us today. >> My pleasure Gilbert. >> What has allowed you to last this long in the job and do you still enjoy doing it? >> I still very much enjoyed and longevity is impossible to explain. I'm doing what I always wanted to do. I never wanted to do anything else, but be a broadcaster. I'm told about age 5. I would listen to the radio and imitate the radio announcers. But I never thought-- I never thought I'll be seen worldwide. So, all of this is a dream come true. We almost call the book " What Am I Doing Here ." I still-- I still pinch myself. >> Do you agree with that perception that sometimes you avoid asking difficult questions? >> I don't agree with it. What I-- I'm not there to pin someone to the wall. I tried to ask perceptive questions, thoughtful questions that get at on arrival of what that person is, how they are, and what they bring for. If I would to begin an interview with Nancy Pelosi and say, " Why did you lie about the torture thing as you learned ?" The last thing I will learn is the truth. Of course what am I doing, I'm putting him on the defensive purposely to make me look not to do with them. They're a prop. At that point, they're a prop. Well, to me, the guest is not a prop. >> Are you still learning how to interview people or have you got that downs with the technique? >> That are things I don't. Of course, I know to interview people. I've done it for so long as who, what, where, when, why. >> Uh huh. >> It's in what order you put 'em. What you want is a good interview subject. If you got a subject who is passionate, who has the ability to explain what they do very well, who has a sense of humor, hopefully self- deprecating, and a little bit of a chip on the shoulder. You got those four things, it don't matter. President, plumber, architect, singer; you got those four things? No one will click off. >> Are you at all concerned at the popularity of ideologically charged news programs, programs where the host is someone who injects a lot of themselves into it? >> I'm not personally concern because I know that all things are cyclical. There's a way if it comes in, then it goes out. Hopefully, the good straight interview in depth, thoughtful, listening to the answer of the guest counts will always be around. So, I'm not a fan of the idealogical- based show right or left, because I don't learn anything. Something I learned a long time ago, I never learned a thing when I was talking. I never learned a thing when I was talking. So these shows in which the host is on 90 percent of the time and the guest 10 percent, I don't get it. But I understand people like it. I wouldn't do it. >> How many pairs of suspenders do you actually have? >> I never count them, but I guess would be based on the suspenders in New York and in Washington and, of course, in my home 150, much more ties. The one thing that I have to have that can't be clip- ons, they have to be buttons, over the buttons. So, every pair of pants or by jeans, anything I buy, we sew in the suspender buttons. I've got very used to them. I like the feel. I like the way they were. I like-- I like the look. >> What do you think is the greatest challenge that media faces today? >> The greatest challenge the media faces today is no media. No one can predict tomorrow. The technology is ahead of the intellect. By that I mean, what I thought was fantastic was television. Think of it. You and I can be seen around the world in a minute, then the satellites sent-- what about satellites? Look, how would you tap satellites? And then guys work around with little machines and they punch him and words appear and think-- so, the new media is everybody is a journalist, everybody twitters, and they have websites, and they send-- and the danger-- and the danger of it is real that any-- with anyone's a news man, you got a lot of false news, overreaction to stories, jumping on stories too quickly, no measuring and the saddest part of it is the decline of the newspaper. I love newspapers. In fact, as an aside I was-- I have my head- on today with-- and Rupert Murdoch was in the next-- and so we were talking and, of course, he loves newspapers and I love newspapers and he said that was-- it's an other generation and said-- >> Larry, our last question is from Felicity Osborne from New Rochelle, New York and she asks, " What does life after Larry King Live look like to you ?" >> I don't know-- I don't know. First as Milton Berle said, " Retire to what ?" What would I do? I have no idea. I would do something. You know, if wasn't in the CNN, I do something in media. I'd volunteer the work for Major League Baseball. >> That's nice. >> Because baseball is my favorite advocation. >> Uh huh. >> So, I would volunteer to do something. >> You work so much, you don't relish sort of just relaxing? >> I'm not a relaxed-- I'm not-- No, no, no. Relax is not in my nomenclature. I'm not a good sitter around if that's the term. It doesn't-- It doesn't suit me. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"10 Questions for Larry King","description":"The CNN host recaps 50 years in broadcasting in his new book My Remarkable Journey.
