The Long Goodbye

Isn’t he gone yet?

Wasn’t it like 10 years ago that CNN announced Larry King’s departure from the network?  Every night plays out like another date on Cher’s annual “Farewell Tour.”

Yet the old codger seems to be getting almost as much press as “Oprah:  The Farewell Season.”

Oh, he’s not sending studio audiences to Australia on trips he’s not paying for or giving away 2012 VW Beetles that don’t belong to him like the Big O is doing… but he is doing his damnedest to achieve a big finish.

Tonight, he finished the Rat Pack’s ear drums by allowing – nay, encouraging - Celine Dion to sing.

The Big Cheese is imagining a day when there are no more fake spontaneous moments like the one when Larry asked her to do a little ditty which was perhaps Lennon’s most famous song.

The clip is after the jump.

WARNING:  Cover your ears at about 1:45 in.  That’s when the bastardization of a classic begins.

Is it me or is she totally reading the words of that song off a cue card?
