CNN's scheduled 50th Anniversary salute to Larry King was called off because of special coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings, but they've now set a new date and new guests for the celebration. It all starts this Monday.

• Monday, April 30: George Tenet
• Tuesday, May 1: Oprah Winfrey
• Wednesday, May 2: Katie Couric interviews King
• Thursday, May 3: 50 Years of Pop Culture, with Anderson Cooper and Ryan Seacrest
• Friday, May 4: An All-Star Salute, with Bill Maher, Bill Cosby, Alec Baldwin, Kathy Griffin, and many others.

Not sure why Tenent is part of the 50th Anniversary. Former President Bill Clinton was originally part of the event, but his appearance ran as scheduled a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if Baldwin will show up (unless it's taped).

As we've mentioned before, Larry King is celebrating 50 years in the news business, and all next week CNN is going to mark the occasion with a week of special Larry King Live shows. Here's the lineup:

• Monday, April 16: Oprah Winfrey
• Tuesday, April 17: Katie Couric
• Wednesday, April 18: 50 Years of Pop Culture - a look at everything that Larry has covered over the five decades, with hosts Anderson Cooper and Ryan Seacrest
• Thursday, April 19: Former President Bill Clinton
• Friday, April 20: A special hour hosted by Bill Maher
