More ammo for the "Larry King should retire" crowd.
On last night's show, King was interviewing Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and during the interview, during a segment where they talked about what they were doing when John Lennon was killed, he turned to Starr and asked "George, where were you?" McCartney didn't want to let the matter drop, but Ringo just laughed it off. Harrison, of course, is dead.
I guess it could have been worse. At least he kept the mistake in the same band. He could have called Ringo "Roger Daltrey" or "Keith Richards." I wonder what he'll call Paris Hilton tonight when he interviews her, at 9pm on CNN.
And, yes, I know you all have ideas on what you'd like to call her.

The part you didn't include is that after Larry called Ringo, George, he then tried to cover it up by saying he didn't mistaken Ringo for George but that he was thinking about his next question which was about where they were when they heard George had died. It was a total lie and cover up and Paul called him on it and said, "No you weren't Larry. You weren't thinking about your next question. You called Ringo, George. Don't lie." Larry then hit Paul on the leg with his question cards and laughed. It was a poor cover up attempt by Larry. Larry is the king of softball questions(and failed marriages). He needs to retire but he never will because his ego is too big.

No they don't. Even I don't know who the two other guys next to John Lennon and Paul McCartney from the Beatles are. Don't tell me that in the middle of a night if somebody would wake you up you could name the guy playing drums on the Beatles. I sure as hell don't.

This confirms a theory many of us have held ever since the "walrus" controversy and that is RINGO IS ACTUALLY GEORGE. Sure glad we cleared that up.

Here's me in the voting camp of LK should retire. He's getting a little senile before our eyes. I swear everytime I try to watch LKL, he makes some error. And now, I haven't even watched him (trying to extra-avoid him like the plague so I don't have to watch Paris simper on TV) and this happens. Haha. Man needs to retiRE.

I bet Larry knows that George isn't really dead.
