I'm not the world's biggest fan of Larry King - I think he's
become increasingly unprepared for his guests and the show's obsession with murder cases borders on nauseating - but I'd
rather see him in that chair until he's 100 years old than have Nancy Grace take over the slot.That's the buzz in the industry right now, that Grace, who has an incredibly popular show on CNN's Headline News right now (you should all be ashamed of yourselves) will someday replace King, who is reported to be on his way out because he's too frail to work that much anymore. CNN head Jon Klein denies all of this, of course, but CNN has made a lot of changes in the past couple of years, some shocking and irritating to viewers. And King can't stay there forever.
So who would you like to see in that slot if King retires?

If he would do it, Anderson Cooper gets my vote. Nancy Grace whines too much for my taste.

Please, please, please do not replace Larry King with Nancy Grace.
Nancy Grace has got too many psychological problems . . . it always looks like she is going to explode like an incendiary device. What is her major malfunction? Didn't Mommy and Daddy show her enough attention when she was a child?
Larry is still the consumate talk show host. At 72, he is a little crotchety, but still quite good.

I like Nancy Grace. She tells it like it is. I personally have never watched Larry King, but I would like Nancy Grace to pursue her career. I hope that she does well. We need more people that can put these lawyers and know it all kind of people in their place and Nancy Grace is just that kind of woman.

What's the deal with having a non-headlines show on CNN Headline News in the first place? They've really screwed up that channel. And Nancy Grace is horrible. As someone else said, she looks like she's about to explode every five minutes. If anyone needed some downers, it's her.... DO NOT replace Larry King with her. It's not like Larry King could ever interview his way out of a paper bag to begin with. So what if he gets older...

Bring back headline news to the headline news channel.
I used to watch CNN-HL when I missed the local news. Now CNN-HL is no better than watchin E! News or Fox.
At least MSNBC with countdown has current news, not just talking heads.

How much do I dislike Nancy Grace? Well let's put it this way, I wouldn't object to them shutting down Headline News as a network if it would guarantee that she'd never be seen on a television set again. As for Larry King, I've been listening to him since before there was a TV show.

What happened to Bob Costas? He signed up to be a sort of permanent guest host and everyone assumed he'd fill Larry's decrepit chair.

Nancy Grace is great, and tells it like it is. I disagree with all these negative comments on this board. She is a hardworking straight shooter. She lives in reality. She is a no bullshit person--which is sorely needed on tv. Open your eyes and see this treasure for what she is.

If her highness (Grace) replaces Larry King, CNN has lost a viewer. Can not stand the woman, she is rude, crude and socialably unexceptable. She should be muzzled. She is the kind of woman that makes me ashamed to be a woman. I don't care what she's been thru, having alittle humility wouldn't hurt, probably help.....but do not see that happening, she is so full of herself it's digusting.

NANCY GRACE FAVORS PROSECUTING MEN BASED ON A MAN'S TESTOSTERONE RATHER THAN THE EVIDENCE. SHE NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY START A PROGRAMME OF LEARNING TO APPRECIATE BEING A WOMAN.
