LARRY KING MISSES ASKING QUESTIONS

By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY

After being shown the door at CNN in 2010, Larry King, 78, has found a new outlet for a weekday talk show -- online's Hulu, with Larry King Now, airing Monday-Thursday.

Of his time out of the spotlight, King tells USA TODAY, "I missed asking questions."

Now, despite the huge audience disparity between cable's CNN and a video network, King is back and attracting great names for the low-budget online show, which began airing in July.

Among those he already has lined up: Matthew McConaughey, Susan Sarandon and Edward Norton? How is he doing it?

One thing that might have something do with it, he says, is "fifty-five years in the business."
